Character Profiles (Lucinda, Translator, Kidnapper)

Lucinda

Name: Lucinda Wilson

Age: 17

Occupation: None

Character Traits: Lucinda is a very disturbed and twisted young girl who sees the world from a very pessimistic point of view since the kidnapping of her slightly older sister Agnes. She is currently residing at a psychiatric ward in which she is isolated from others as she is seen as a threat to society. Her hair is very long and dark and often masks her appearance. Her eyes are sunken in and her skin is very fair due to her treatment and mental illness. She is full of vengeance and will do anything to get what she wants - to see her sisters kidnapper dead. She is unresponsive to others and is extremely introverted, with no desire to contact any other people. She is stuck in a negative mind with nothing to think about but the revenge she so desperately seeks.

The Translator

Name: Emma Walton

Age: 21

Occupation: Translator.

Character Traits: Emma is a very kind young woman who is new to her field of work. She is slightly inexperienced so she seems slightly nervous when in Lucinda's presence. She is seemingly very helpful and aspirational and appears as if she is happy to help despite the scenario. Although not much older than Lucinda, we can see that she is more more stable in her life and has clear goals and ambitions for her future. She appears very neat in her appearance and is also rather organised. She is very polite and seemingly quiet, but she is hoping to aid the psychiatrist in dealing with Lucinda's inability to speak.

The Kidnapper

Name: Walter Murray

Age: Now 52

Occupation: Engineer

Character Traits: Walter is a seemingly normal middle aged man but with a much more sinister agenda. During the kidnapping of Agnes, nobody had suspected his involvement. This is not his only kidnapping either. He is a serial kidnapper who has killed every one of his previous victims, however, he has never been caught. He is popular in the neighbourhood and is a working class man with a rather stereotypical background. He lives alone since the apparent death of his wife, Sandra, so he is sympathised with throughout the town. However, as he seems to have no real motive for Agnes' kidnapper, we assume he does this for his own sick and twisted pleasure, which makes him all the more malevolent and disturbing.
