The most important thing to Krissy is her best friend Anna who goes everywhere with her - the two are absolutely inseparable. She is also very close to Octavia who she feels very protective over. Krissy lives for the moment and does as she pleases, trying daring things each day. She’s the most excitable of the group and will often make something out of nothing just to liven things up.Krissy is brave, and she has a strong sense of honour so when Kelly is hung she insists even before the third step to go back to her so they could do right by her somehow. She fails her step because it goes against the very basis of who she is as a person, not to save someone, especially her best friends and so she is punished for it.Anna ThomasAnna is also 15 years old (youngest) is the unlikely best friend of Krissy. Anna is timid; she used to get bullied a lot in her previous school hence the bashful side of her. She never thinks anything risky is a good idea as it could be dangerous and is very conservative, particularly in comparison to Krissy. She comes out of her shell a bit whilst with her friends but there is always that quiet side to her.Anna is quiet, so much that even she gets more or less ignored by the killer because she does not get her own step, and instead if used as a tool to play with Krissy’s emotions as she is set on fire but isn’t meant to be saved.Kelly JamesKelly is a fashion conscious teenager who is the eldest out of the group at 16. Her obsession with models overtakes her care for her school work and attitude. All she’s concerned with is getting her hair and makeup right for the day. She enjoys spending most time with Octavia as she likes her dress sense, though of course she spends more time with her reflection. Kelly is the first kill – she is the first to sense that anything is wrong, even before Tavy and she sets the tone for the rest of the film as she fails the simple first step, thus setting an example to the others. Joanna MathewsJoanna (15) is the mother figure of the group. She makes sure everybody does what they’re meant to and takes authority. She is usually listened to but occasionally gets ignored by the girls who mistake her care for them as bossiness.Joanna always tries to look after everyone, but her strength is only a front; she’s fragile underneath and her greatest weakness is how much she cares about her friends. Seeing three of her friends die in front of her broke her spirits to the point where she would have done anything the game said to stay alive, but unfortunately she doesn’t get the chance.Octavia King Octavia (newly 16, aka ‘Tavy’) is the strangest out of the group. She enjoys weird and wonderful things and aspires to become a medium. Her friends love her sense of things going wrong as they all use it to keep out of trouble - but can she predict it all?Tavy is the only one who manages to follow her steps, and she is the Final Girl. She is the quietest, and unlike the others she only gasps quietly when they’re sobbing and screaming. She is one of those who argue the most against following the game and its rules because it goes against her beliefs and offends her morals but in the end even she gives in, and she wins the game.<br />

They’re all of varying personalities; there’s Kelly, the seemingly superficial girl who’s obsessed with her hair and fashion and Octavia who is above worldly things who’s more interested in meditation and Buddhism. Krissy who’s bubbly, loud and excitable yet Anna who’s reserved, bookish and shy – and Joanna, who oversees them all the mother hen of the group and helps them stick together. But what’s to stick together when there’s nobody left?<br />Something they can’t see is toying with them. They can’t see it, it’s too fast – they can’t hear it, but it moves. It’s sending them texts and orders, informing them that by entering these grounds they have unwittingly agreed to play ‘the game’ – and if they don’t, they soon find out that there are truly terrifying consequences...<br />OUTLINE:<br />,[object Object]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/themousetraptreatment-110306215052-phpapp02/85/the-mouse-trap-treatment-1-320.jpg)
