My character, Rose who is forty four years old lives in Miami, on the sea front , she lives in a large house with five bedrooms ,a swimming pool, tennis courts, three cars and all the luxuries you could want. She works from home as a shoe designer and owns a shoe shop in the nearby shopping mall. She has a sixteen year old daughter named Lillie who she lives with, until just a few months ago she was happily married to a man called Sam who was forty six years old, who owned a very high class restaurant in the town, he worked a few days a week there, the other days he would spend at home with Rose, they spent a lot of time together and were a very close couple, they had been happily married for twenty years and built up both their business`s together. Sam died just a few months ago of cancer which had been fighting against for just over a year, when he sadly lost his battle, his death hit Rose and Lillie very badly as they were such a close family.
Although everyone; family, friends, all Sam's customers in his restaurant knew he was battling with cancer, one man suspected his death was caused by Rose and has accused Rose of murdering him because she wanted all the money from his restaurant and his previous business ventures to set up a life somewhere else for her and her daughter and significantly expand her shoe designing business. The characteristics that are significant to my character are that she has recently lost her husband this shows connotations of loneliness and vulnerability .
Well done Louise - you have established the characters well and created ambiguity.
