First Major Project- Enhanced character sheet.

Sheryl Sapiets:
(Sher, Sherry)
Artist, philosophy student, INTELLIGENT, self conscious.

likes to go out for walks along the seafront, contemplate life, chilled but enjoys a Night out every-so-often.

in the short, Sheryl takes on the role of the "Woman" primarily, She has to make a choice, to stay and run with Mia, Or to leave and never see Mia again.



Who Is Sheryl?, really?

interview-style character introduction

in an attempt to better get-to-know my characters I have staged an internalized interview with myself playing both the character and interviewer, i have done this so i can better understand how my characters talk, think and interact.

[interview commenced 17th November, 2016, Sheryl Sapiets and N. Vossler]

Sheryl Sapiets:
,... Are you ready?,...okay,..

N.Vossler:...(you can go whenever)

SS: Hi, My Name's Sheryl, Sher to my friends, Sherry when i'm Drunk,...sorry, Bad Joke,..sort of. urm, Well, I studied philosophy, and I'm interested in psychology and literature,... basically i just read a lot, people or books,.. and i sometimes go for walks along the seafront.

NV: (So where did you study?)

 I studied In Manchester, originally from Bristol-way, I had to leave in the end.

(did it not feel like home?)

It did, it still is home in many ways, it just didn't feel like a good place to study, too many memories from school i guess, I couldn't get comfortable after I finished.

(did you like Manchester?)

Manchester was the greatest, it was such an experience, I had never been in a big, big, city before. so It was all new to me. God!, I used to people watch so much, i would order a mohito at this Gay pub, the purple cherry, sit outside and watch the people go on with their lives, its great imagining stories about them you know?

(We're getting a little off topic, lets move on to your appearance, obviously you don't wear your current apparel every day.)

NO, this is my party outfit, I love the neon and black look when i'm out clubbing, you just caught me on a bad day, god, if i wore this every day.. it would take hours, you know what I mean?.

(favourate drink?)

Don't really have one, I  buy Mohito when I can, but, yea I don't really have a favorite drink you know?, go with the flow, you know?... sorry about that I sometimes rhyme, its not deliberate but it happens sometimes.

(not at all, im going to get a bit personal now, what are your relations with Maia Madeline?)

...[SS remains silent at this point]

(we do have all day...)

Okay, First off, its Mia, Not Maia, second I dont know why its any of your business, she's just my friend, we met just after I moved down here to Brockton*, she was new to the area, I was new to the Area, we hit it off after that, ask her yourself if your so interested.
*[Brockton on Midway, district of Midway, Kent, UK]

(Why did you move to the Midway Area?)

Jobs up north are few and far between for a philosophy student, sure there's Manchester Library but not much else, I moved here for the job market, stayed for the area, I' love it here.

(Thank you Very much Ms Sapiets, We'll get back to you when the show is ready for air as is stipulated in your contract.)

The reasons for the format above are threefold, If i am to write a character convincingly I need to know how they think and feel, I need to be able to jump into their shoes at a moments notice, so getting their profile in the form of an interview does wonders for my understanding of how my characters talk, how they respond. and how I can communicate their psyche to the audience.
