The major roles will be done by Shaina Magdayao and Melissa Ricks and is surely a challenge to them.

"Inaamin ko na natakot ako sa role dahil din sa prosthetic. It takes two hours to put it on and one hour to take it off," Ricks said.

She added: "’Yong acting very drama talaga. So ito na ‘yong pinaka-challenging na matatanggap ko. So, sana naman maging okay naman ang performance ko."

Melissa Ricks will portray the character of Ella, a good half-human, half-rat. She will grow up in a forest with her mother (Rio Locsin).

"Challenging (ang role) kasi parang kung tutusin dalawa ‘yong pini-play ko na role kasi kapag nandoon ako sa school kapag kasama ko ang mga kaibigan ko ay strong ang personality ko. Pero kapag doon pala sa bahay ay inaapi ako. So makikita nila na sa school si Vira ‘yong ugali niya parang defense mechanism niya ‘yon kasi inaapi ako," Magdayao shared.

Shaina and Melissa said that it was an honor for them to play the lead roles in the said series
