CHARACTERS:
RORI – Lead role. 16 to 18 years old. (The actress can be older than 18 as long as she looks younger.) Rori is a pretty girl who wants so desperately to be a woman. She puts on heavy makeup and dresses maturely so as to keep the interest of her older boyfriend, Nick. Rori believes that she has found true love with Nick, but doesn’t realize that the feeling isn’t mutual. Her focus is on appearances rather than being a good role model for her sister, Lacy, until she learns a valuable lesson.
LACY – Lead role. 6 to 8 years old. (The actress can be older as long as she looks between 6 and 8 years old.) Lacy is a sweet, innocent girl who wants to look up to her sister, but Rori doesn’t treat her well and takes her for granted.
NICK – Supporting role. 25 – 35 years old. Rori believes that Nick is in love with her, but Nick only wants Rori for a plaything.
MOM – Supporting role. 35 – 55 years old. Mom is the concerned parent of Rori and Lacy. She is stuck at a Christmas party, but wants to get back home to check on her children as soon as possible.
MASKED MAN – Supporting role. 30 – 60 years old and tall. The masked man kidnaps Lacy in the middle of the night. Or so Rori imagines. He is wearing a ski mask and long trench coat throughout filming, so the age of the actor isn’t extremely important.
