Reasons for this specific character?: My reason for creating this character, is that she corresponds with the storyline. I need my main character to be female, this is because females are generally more emotional and vulnerable compared to males. I also require a character of darker complexion or from a foreign country to highlight elements of social issues such as racism. I also wanted the name of my character to reflect characteristics of her and have a meaning and relevance to my trailer. For example, one of the meanings of my name is to be sensitive, my character has battled several personal issues during her lifetime so she normally reacts to things without caution, no matter how big or small it can be. Also, the other connotations her name comes with is "To cry with great sadness/sorrow" so therefore this indicates even more that not only is my character very sensitive but she is also unhappy, in fact therefore she is mentally upset.

This is an example of what I'd expect my character to look like.
