A description of Vanessa

1. Vanessa Hope Background.
Vanessa is 15 years old and is the (New) main character for the
film, we went with a female character because it has a bigger
impact for the audience. She has brown hair and light green eyes,
she lives and was born in the UK and has a nice family, but in the
film we learn that her mother and father were killed when she was
young and now she lives alone in a social home where she gets
money from other relatives so she can stay there, her mental
condition slowly gets worse over time so it is hard for her to make
any real connections with anyone so when she is alone she talks to
herself and blames herself for the death of her parents. She also
has one thing that she can use to find the killer, when her mom
and dad were killed the one who was closest to them at the time
was a man with a scar under his eye, knowing this she will do
whatever she can to find the killer. Because of her mental state she
tends to jump to conclusions easily and can make accusations
about people without knowing them, this is the main problem that
she has as her actions cause her to lose sight of what she should be
doing, meaning that when all is said and done she will be the one
who gets into the most trouble.
Vanessa does not have any other relatives that live or lived with
her besides her parents, she is an only child meaning that when
her parents died there was no older sibling role model for her to
follow so she went down her own path, and there was no younger
sibling that she could have looked after meaning that she has
more time alone to herself making her more anti-social and
awkward around people, especially around people she has not
seen before, she can be so nervous that her quick minded
thoughts may make her feel threatened if people get too close to
her. This is one of the other reasons why I think that the audience
may feel sympathy for her, because she can't trust most people
because someone she doesn't know was the one who killed her
parents making her the way she is. In a sense this killer is the one
who is now controlling her life as she is devoted on finding out

2. who it is and that will be reassuring to the killer because if he
knows more about her than she does about him then he will be
able to mind control her from the shadows leading her further
into insanity until she does something she can’t undo.
