Character Background:

Holly: She is a shy, unpopular and geeky female. She is very quiet, and she has one close friend, however, within the narrative of my short film, she is seperated from her friend by being put in to a group of popular people, to explore the forest, who don't really acknowledge Holly's existance. She has only been in one relationship in her life, with a boy, three years older than her, called John. He was domineering and controlling, and after being with him for years, unhappy, Holly finally gained the courage to split up with him. Out of anger, he killed Holly's mother and was put in jail; holding a grudge against Holly. Holly, however, quickly overcame the death of her mother with the help of a wonderful father.

Holly, my protagonist.
She will be wearing similar
(if not the same) costume during filming

John: He is the antagonist, stalking Holly in the woods, purposely seperating her from her group. He is in a rage, due to a mental illness he has, about her dumping him, and has held a grudge for years, as she was "his", he "owned her". He committed a murder, Holly's mother, to try and persuade Holly to get back with him, and was consequently put in to a prison, then a mental institute. He ultimitely tries to kill Holly in the forest, and has been stalking her for some time, stealing items that related to their relationship, and placing them throughout the forest to scare her before he finally confronts her. He may be the antagonist, but the audience has to remember that he has a mental illness that makes his anger extremely tempermental. John is strong, quick and "chavvy". He and his mother were both deserted by his father, leaving them with no money and their living conditions quickly became poor. Shortly following this, his mother abandoned John, a 10 year old boy. However, he managed to survive, where at the age of 20, he met Holly (she was only 17 at the time). This abandonment by his family left him enraged, and eventually lead to his insanity, which would make him the antagonist in my short film.
