 Final Girl: Jessica Summers:
She’s Caucasian with a height of 5’4 with blonde long hair and brown eyes. She has as slim physique. Normally wears tight, skinny jeans with holes cut in them. Normally wear a fluffy body-warmer jacket covering long sleeved purple jumper with a white vest covering cleavage. In her school, Lewis Duncan Secondary school she hangs around the following; Julie Saunders, Brad Jones Johnny Rogers and Kevin Coulson. She met Julie who is best friend and Brad when she came to the school on her first day. She kept losing her way around school but found help in Julie and Brad and then they started to socialise with each other and enjoyed each other’s company. Kevin and Johnny are her childhood friends; all three of them living on the same street ‘Auburn Road’ they constantly after school went to each other houses to hang out or going to the local park. Jessica is one of three children raised in northwest London in a nuclear family. Brother, Jack is the youngest aged 13 and Sister Zoe is the eldest aged 25 and lives by herself. But constantly come around the house to check up on the family.  Father John works as a cab driver works long hours so they rarely see him but on the weekends the family have him to themselves. Mother Cindy works part time an accountant in a Business company called Golden International,. Jessica is a lively person, always full of energy and never down. Whenever her friends see her they first see her wide, shining smile that wakes up the room or corridor they’re in.
We took some iconic characteristics from the final girl and applied it to our final girl. Eg, not having her cleavage showing giving the intention she is a virgin.   

Popular Girl: Julie Saunders:
Her height is 5’8 with brunette hair and blue eyes. Wears skinny jeans and a light leather jacket covering her black short sleeved shirt inside. Her body size is similar to Jessica. Always uses perfume spray and before going to school has a 10 minutes session in her bathroom to do make-up. In her school, she socialize with her boyfriend Brad, best friend Jessica and her childhood buds Kevin and Johnny. She and boyfriend Brad have been going out for more than 2 years which started out as friends and over time feelings started to develop and the physical attraction towards one another way there. They spend the majority of their time in school together and with their friends. But they also spend time apart as well e.g. with family, going to the local gym, having a girl’s night. She is Oldest of two in her Family with sister Sarah aged 15 looking up at her as a role model. Her house is a 10 minutes walk from Jessica House. The family’ atmosphere is very stressed to say the least; Parents always fighting and sisters don’t get along. Julie is bitchy, quite vain, cares about her image in the way of how people in school think of her.
The popular girl usually cares about what she looks like so we incorporated this to comply with the horror genre.

Jock: Brad Jones:
He’s mixed race; more black in him then white, with a muscular stocky build. He is about 6 foot with short black hair hardly ever combs his hair and has brown eyes. As stated he’s very stocky; but not let that fool you the kids fast, has strengthen and got quick reaction reflexes. He is the captain of the school football team and is looking to get a scholarship to a football academy  Majority of the time wears short-sleeved shirt with baggy, lose trousers and wears snap-back hats. As stated in Julie section; he and her having being dating for more than 2 years now, started as friends and have grow ever since. Amongst them when he’s with the boys only (Kevin and Johnny) he stands out because of the success he has in football in past and present but always because he won the best good-looking boys in the year.
The iconic jock is usually from America. However, as our film is set in England we gave him the popular characteristics of a popular boy in England using the iconic jock. Such as, being captain of the football team and not the quarterback of the American football team. 
Wander: Kevin Carlson:
He’s 5’9 with short black hair and black eyes. He has a tendency to wear black clothing, which consists of tracksuit bottoms and top. As Kevin is the wanderer he has no stable friends and so joins any group as a way to affiliate himself as anything and anyone, other than a loner. Often this leads to him feeling like he is not part of the group and so he tends to be quite and passive. Kevin feels that Johnny is his closest friend as they are similar i.e. not very important in the group but their presence is needed so as to increase the size of the group. He usually spends his free time playing video games and rarely leaves home, this protrudes from his past experiences in school i.e. being bullied. His father died years ago and his relationship with his mother is strong although without the father figure in his life he has not been able to learn how to socialise in large groups and generally make friends of his own.
Our wanderer is also got the characteristics of a geek. And being the outsider of the group gives the reason other then he goes off to get killed first.  

Joker: Johnny Rogers:
He’s 5’11, with short straight black hair and has dark brown eyes. He wears glasses because he’s shorted sighted and wears a red zip up jumper with slim tight dark coloured jeans and wears a dark blue jacket with a hoodie attached to it with headphone hanging around his next. In school when he with the gang constant makes them laugh whatever the occasion or situation. He takes part in ridiculous activities but can at times feel like he is not part of the group so makes a way to be accepted by others. He lives at home with his father and mother; his father is an alcoholic, this being the reason behind his humour as he tries to find a release from home by humouring his fellow peers. His father beats his mother when he is under the influence of intoxicating beverages. His family is conventional (nuclear) but unconventional in the sense that they do not do the normal family activities i.e. eat together or go out on trips; this includes his (Amy) along with his mother and father. He often protects his sister from his father. 
This character has replaced the character of the pervert, however in certain scenes could be mistaken for one. Even when they realize something is wrong makes jokes.
