Characters:

Emo Girl: anit Christian, devil worshiper, and quiet
Wigger Girl: obsessed with being something she’s not because she tires to hide her overly functional happily married parents
Trailer Trash Girl: druggy, redneck, beyond specking dumb
Why you will love our show:
It’s a sitcom not a reality show, which gives the characters opportunity to develop and gives the script writers creative freedom. Characters cover so many different personalities, that there will be something entertaining for every viewer.
Enid Star
Enid is the “Emo” character of the show. She likes to be by herself. She hates most people, pop music and conformity. She likes to be left alone to listen to her death metal/emo music and draw her pictures. She wears mainly black; she has short black hair with one red streak in it. She has a lip ring and many tattoos.
Enid was sitting in her room in the dark contemplating whatever a girl of Enid’s infinite sadness contemplates when her mother knocked on the door.
“Go away!” Enid yelled. Her mother hollered back
“It’s time for church Enid!”
“I am NOT going to that disgusting church. All they do is teach lies and hypocrisy.”
“That’s it young lady, you’re grounded for a month!” screamed her mother.
Enid didn’t care. So what, her mother would take away the TV for a few weeks, big deal, TV is garbage anyway.
Enid was always a pretty happy child but by around the age of 15 she began to change and rebel. There was no specific incident that triggered this change, Enid was just always a very analytical thinker and questioned everything. So like a lot of people, when they ask the big questions and can’t find the big answers (or find the answers that are disappointing) she became depressed and angry at the world. When she looks at the world all she can see is its corruption and it’s unavoidable decay and it makes her feel hopeless and angry.
Mrs. Beatrice Jones
Beatrice Jones is in her early 60s and very religious. She likes rules, order and knitting. She dislikes people that break rules, anything that isn’t clean and loud music. Mrs. Jones’s main goal is to keep the unruly girls in line. She is always alert and extremely sneaky. She is serious to the point that it’s funny. According to the girls she has no fears; however her deepest fear is anarchy.
She sat in the corner of the room, rosary in hand, steadily rocking back and forth in her chair. Peering at the room through her reading glasses, she looked for the slightest hint that something may be out of place. Noticing dust on the mantel, she rose with un-age-like speed, twisting her apron up and around the middle of her dress. She hobbled across the room with less aches and pains than a thirty-year-old, let alone someone in their early 60s. She made her way to the doomed dust, all the while giving us a “how could you let this happen?!” look. It was obvious that her military family upbringing had caused her to crave order and perfection like a pregnant woman craves pickles
Victoria Thompson
She was spoiled from day one, giving everything a little princess would want. Her parents were never around much to give Victoria their love so they would buy her things to make her happy. Her nannies were the ones that gave her the love she needed. As years went on it became worse, her father got her a few credit cards to keep her happy but she was so sad deep down that she would shop to make herself feel better. Shopping was like a drug to her. She ended up maxing out all her cards and her fathers business is going down because of it. So they told her to come with them on a shopping spree but they ended up dropping her off at the rehab house. Victoria does not fit in this house at all because she is very ditsy and out spoken when she doesn’t get what she wants. She has blond hair, tall, and dress’s high class she’s 16 years of age and her parents had to do something with her before it got way out of control
Bobbie Joe
Way back in the middle of know where, there is a girl named Bobbie
Joe. She is a girl who loves her Mama and Papa very much. But Bobbie Joe is slow, undependable, and just plan lazy. She doesn’t have a job or go to school. After years of her laziness, her parents got fed up with her and decide to kick her out of their shack. Poor Bobbie Joe is being taken away for awhile, to a reform house. Hopefully she’ll turn out to be a whole new person when she returns home.
Fances Harding a.k.a Latoya Jackson
As a child Frances was daddy’s little girl. Her parent were very happily married and her entire family got along very well. One day when her family was going about their morning routines they dropped her off at school. They got out and hugged each other and as her parents drove away two older black kids started making fun of her. From that day on she hated her parents and tired to hide who she was and what kind of family she came from. From then on she was known as Latoya, who lived with her mother in the projects and who never knew her dad because he ran out on her mother when she was born. Now she does her best to hide the truth. This charade got to be so bad that her parents sent her to a reform school.
Hi Guys!
You have done a lot of thinking about this so far! Great on ya!
I have a few thoughs. Just brain storming...
I don’t think Bobbie Joe’s Character should have been “Kicked out” by her parents. Instead, it should be a “getaway to get whipped into shape” of deal. She should be the one that is full of love but flies off the handles much too easy. Because of this, she cant finish anything she starts. She should feel a certain amount of betrayal, and abandonment, but finds what she need with these other girls.
This brings me to Fances Hardings character. These two characters could mesh really well, and clash at the same time.
Although, the part about the black kids making fun of her…… how about remove the “black” part, as I found the meanest kids in school were “white”. Also, think of something that is horribly humiliating that would drive her crazy.
It might also be a cool idea that during the episodes, we have flashbacks to their lives before they were at the school. That way we can see how and why they are how they are. Just a thought.
Oh, and I think there should be one other key character. You have the evil Beatrice Jones. But she should have an employee. Someone who can relate to everyone, including Beatrice. It’s the person who everyone confides in, and who is able to fix problems with the most elegant of touches, while making Beatrice thinking it was all her idea. This person should be very wise, intelligent, and have a soft heart, yet still be very firm as well.
Great work so far!
