Character Profiles.

In my production there are three main characters, with the rest of the cast just extras.

The female character remains unnamed. She is mysterious and dark. She says very little but when she does speak it is in a sultry voice. She is very attractive and it is easy to see why the central protagonist falls for her.
I have mainly based this character on Effy Stonem from the Channel 4 series Skins. I think that this is the ideal look and persona for my female character. Effy is able to control everyone around her just with a look or simple comment, and I think it is this "magical" quality that I would like my female character to have. I would like her to look as similar to this picture of Kristen Stewart as possible, with the dark wavy hair, dark clothes and sultry look. This aesthetic is often seen as being very attractive and mysterious. I think that this would add to the characters appeal to the central protagonist, and would explain why he follows her so readily without explanation.

Again inspired by Skins, the female character will have a chatty friend that people think is a little bit strange. She will be talking to the female character non-stop, not requiring her to say anything at all. She will be dressed unfashionably, but she won't care because she doesn't understand that it's anything wrong. The character in Skins that she will be based on is Pandora. She is never far from Effy's side, and has a quirky way of talking, style of clothing, and an almost endearing ability to get everything wrong.
The central protagonist, Chris Parks, is a fairly nondescript boy of around 17/18 years old. He doesn't belong to any particular social group. He is fairly attractive, but not in a necessarily obvious way. He is quiet and artistic, and so becomes very flustered when the girl pays him attention. His clothing doesn't particularly matter, although it has to be obvious that he does not belong in the same group as the girl. He doesn't have a specific way of dressing, but he doesn't tend to wear dark colours all the time like the girl does.
