Character Development

Elaine

So for the main character of this story, I chose to name her Elaine. I chose this name after going through some of my favorite horror films and wanting to name the character after another iconic character from the film 'The Love Witch'. The character from that movie is similar to this films character because they are both man killers who at first glance seem completely normal. In our film, Elaine is a normal high school girl who gets a hunger for blood and goes on a frenzy on a boy who wronged her, while in 'The Love Witch', Elaine is an eccentric young widow who seduces men with her witchcraft, but ends up killing them. 

Elaine's character is meant to be misleading. She looks like the 'girl next door' type, but she harbors a darker secret. I take a lot of her outfit and personal style inspiration from the original girl next door, Mary Jane Watson from the Spiderman films. This concept is similar to the Jennifer's body movie in terms of a girl misleading the other characters in the movie, but instead, Elaine will be a lot more school oriented. For example, she may be upset at the boy who wronged her because she feels cheated and almost like she wasted her time, and it just overwhelms her with anger.
