Character Profiles

There are two main characters, but four characters in total starring in Deceit.

Nature Brown is a free spirited teenage girl, who is friendly, adventurous, flamboyant, and unique. Her parents provide her with a comfortable lifestyle, providing her with whatever she wants and needs, which is why she is so optimistic. When she invites two friends over her house while her parents are away for the weekend, she is completely oblivious to the fact that her friend Victor has planned to betray her. Because she is so unaware of the situation, she comes across as a typical naive teen.

The vibrant colors in her clothing reflects her exuberant personality. She clearly wants to be observed by the colors she wears, but maintains her comfortable style. The first name Nature was inspired from my real name, because it fit well with my character. The last name Brown was inspired by Jackie from Jackie Brown  because of the resemblance in the way that both characters are confident individuals.

Victor Neal is a typical troubled teenager, that fits into the juvenile delinquent stereotype. He is always involved with damaging property, pranks, and drugs. He is easily mislead because of his greed for success and the approval of his peers. He plans to kidnap Anna with Bill's help, because her parents are very important people who could help them out extremely. So Victor was asked to find a way to be around her, until the perfect timing came to take advantage of her. Hanging out with Nature provided this great opportunity for Victor to fulfill his side of his deal with Bill. Victor arranged for Bill to be waiting for them before they arrived, so he could plot different ways to get Anna.

Victor wears dark, plain, and comfortable clothing usually, but occasionally buys trendy things to impress his friends. His parents named him Victor because they are a family of winners. His parents expect him to be victorious in whatever he does, despite his strong sense of apathy.

—Anna Flones is represented as a superficial teen because she is heavily reliant on her phone, fashionably aware, and flaunts her wealth.  Her parents are very well-known, openly wealthy, and powerful in their community. When she goes to Nature's house, she has no idea what is in store for her. She doesn't know Victor very well, besides what has been said about him, which hasn't been anything good, so she is naturally tense with him. Her weakness of being obsessive about her phone causes her to be easily targeted and victimized. This dependence on technology brings her to her fate.

Anna is very trendy, which allows her to vary with color in her clothing.

Bill James is a mysterious character that the audience is left in the dark about. He is a guy that Victor wants to impress because he is seriously involved in crime. He needs a few favors from Anna's parents, but needs an inside person to help, which just so happens to be Victor. Bill is using Victor simply because he is easy to control since he's so keen to get into the business, but he could have chosen anyone. Bill kidnaps Anna so that he can bribe her parents into helping him. The two characters wear identical outfits to do their dirty work  because it's the general thing to do.

Their difference in shoe styles is important because although they're both black, the vans separate Victor from being seen as a man, rather than a boy.
