Claudia

My first character that I chose was Claudia and this was the character brief I was given on her character -

Claudia is a girl in her twenties. As a child she was left alone to develop with little parental guidance and through her relationship with T.V. movies developed an unhealthy relationship with Horror films, believing this to be the way life really is.

All the scenes take place in various parts of Claudia’s apartment, which is European in style with
a great deal of kitsch décor. She is agoraphobic and is kept in touch with the outside world by her neighbours who provide her with her every day requirements.  She models herself on a variety of girls often twisting her look to suit whichever film she is watching at the time and there is often
a nod to the main character in the current film within her appearance.

The script portrays her as psychotic and there is always the feeling that although her character is scripted/can be seen as humorous, danger is just around the corner.   However all this is normal to Claudia and she is of a cheerful disposition in this mad world of hers.

The concept I had on this character profile to fit into TV programme is to make her one of the main characters cousin. The main character Sookie falls in love with Bill but she is also a fairy. She can read peoples minds and in season 3 she gets transported to the fairy world. 

But Claudia is a bit ditzy, she does a lot of crazy weird things but no one knows she can read their mind too, like Sookie. Every one knows she has something wrong with her as she trances around town being mystified with everything she sees and does. 

She also likes to take vampire blood, real vampire blood which is drained from a vampire is sold as a drug to normal people to give them a high. 

I can appear Claudia to look blonde and a typical all American kind of girl, really fun and energetic but then also really crazy and strange too. She will have blonde hair, very pretty looking too - this will engage men as her good looks but her ditzyness always create attention from men. Women will also be interested in her character too as we want to know what she is going to do or say next so she's quite intriguing.

The key word I have chosen is "WHITE ROSE"
I chose this word because you associate faeries with flowers and gardens.
Because Claudia is a fairy I thought this word really goes with how I want her to be in this TV programme.
The thoughts I had to create the image based on this word are all to do with her being a fairy, she also is very over dramatic and eccentric too. I image her to have taken some true blood and because it's a drug to normal people it had heightened things about her such as her over dramaticness. I pictured her in a garden looking at a white rose like there is nothing more beautiful in the world, her eyes will have been blacked out - which I will use contact lenses for, her look about her has changed and she has become all mystical and fairy like with a beautiful face of colour in pale pinks. Her hair will be long and curled but a little wild too, her clothing will be white too as she can look pure and innocent.

I created a mood board to show my idea -
