 Character Backgrounds

Andreina and I have thought about the background information of the characters that will will subtly hint to during the opening. 

Since we already established that the setting would take place in a low-income city, we thought it would also make sense to have Adalia's home life be rough, which is the main reason for her being targeted. Because of the home life, Adalia will also be a timid character, not knowing how to fight back or stand up for herself. She will dress much like any other teenage girl since she is constantly trying to fit in with everyone else and not stand out. However, since she gets bullied, her outfits will change drastically throughout the opening to her wearing much baggier clothing. 

Aurora's neighborhood, which is different from Adalia's, has houses much closer together. Because of this, the community bonds and family bonds are much better. 

Similar to this


Since they are also close, we plan to have Adalia always persist on going to Aurora's home, saying things like Aurora's family is like her second family, her neighbors are much nicer, and she feels safe there, hinting she does anything to avoid going home. Aurora's attire will be similar to Adalia's to show their closeness even though their personalities contrast.

Example of Adalia's later style

For specific details, Adalia will always be wearing a certain necklace, which we will make sure to include shots of in the opening, and will later be worn by Aurora. We also included that Adalia begins wearing a certain hoodie often, which Aurora will also be seen wearing in a later scene. We OBVIOUSLY will not show Aurora physically getting it, but she will just be shown wearing it later on.
