These are some bullet point facts about my characters for my short film;
- Woman
- 30
- 9 stone, 5ft.5, curvy womanly build,but slim and small, Ginger hair, brown eyes, pale skin, freckles, left handed, left sleepy eye, skips as she walks and if she's being carried by dancing fairies, she's smokes, but she refuses to admit she's a smoker, she tends to adopt the accents of anyone she's around, she has a high pitched lyrical voice, she talks using quotes and famous sayings a lot of the time, but other times she is well spoken and well educated. She tries not to swear, but again if she is around people who swear she finds it hard not to pick it up around them. She lives alone with her two children, a boy and a girl; the boy, Toby is 6 and the girl, Marilyn is 3. Marilyn is bubbly, talkative and always asking questions, blonde with blue eyes and a magical smile. Toby is protective of Marilyn and always enjoys teaching her all he knows. He's finding his feet and settling into school, however he's a shy boy who has been taught to respect and be kind to all.
Hayley is no longer married, she has been hurt badly before by her first lover and father of her children, but she is healing and finds comfort in the close relationship she has with her friend; Nick. They have slept together a few times, but she's too scared of getting hurt and hurting her children to embark on anything more, however he's loved her for a long time and just being part of her life is enough for him. Hayley's mother is deceased and her father in a care home. Hayley lives near the sea, as she's always wished, she keeps herself to herself and rarely socializes with anyone. She owns the little terraced house and is very proud of that fact, it cost her £215,000, but most of this was paid with a mortgage. It is lightly furnished, she doesn't like clutter, but it's got a lot of rugs and old sofas which give it a homely feel. She is a tidy woman, not obsessively although she is with hygiene, but she always like a little of the children's mess around her. She works as a nurse at the local hospital, which is enough for her and the kids to live comfortably on. She spends more money than she has on material things for herself than she should. She enjoys her job and has never desired to do anything else, she writes novels and poetry in her free time, but never does anything with it. She feels she is mistreated in work by her boss, so she avoids him as much as possible, however she is at breaking point and is desperate for the promotion she deserves. Hayley's mum, Claire, died when she was 21 of cancer, she was a frail, delicate lady all her life and Hayley was very close to her. Her father was much older than her mother and is now living in a care home an hour away from Hayley, she tries to see him as often as she has time, but she just doesn't have that much time these days. Her mother was very blonde and her father had dark red hair.
