Cleo Acorn

Cleo grew up wanting to be an actor, and spent a lot of her school years with a theatre group. In college she applied for various small parts and game show appearances to experiment with being in front of a camera, secretly hoping (but not expecting) that she would end up on Industrial Zone. She did, and she was put on the first episode of the second season along with Gwen Sorwen, Electra Quirk and Rachel Westman. She was the first of the group to be gunged, after her team failed to help her deactivate the Pod.

When she was 21, a couple of years after her Industrial Zone appearance, she appeared as a model in a short series of adverts for Petite, an underwear and lingerie line specializing for smaller furries. She has a secretive personality and doesn't show her feelings often, but her husband Miles Acorn has learned several "tells" or habits that he can use to discern her mood.

Cleo's first true big break in acting came when she landed the part of Amanda, a villainous character in the long-running soap Golden Years, and her performance quickly brought the character front and centre. A couple of years later she got her first film contract, and she and Miles were invited to appear on Friday Night Party. Here, the production team referenced her television debut on Industrial Zone and used it as a way to introduce their own new gunge tank - a move that Cleo had half expected, but she was surprised at how elaborate the setup was. After sliming her in it, the Friday Night Party producers would make it a regular fixture of the show.
