CHARCATER BIOS

[BETTY] [GENDER: FEMALE] [AGE: 45-50] [LEAD]

[BEAR] [GENDER: MALE] [AGE: 40-50] [LEAD]

Bear is a nasty emotional abuser. He has very little self esteem and tries to control Betty to make himself feel better. His wickedness starts to escalate as Betty becomes stronger, and more able to let him go.

[ANN] [GENDER: FEMALE] [AGE: 40s] [SUPPORTING]

Ann is Betty’s best friend. She hasn’t seen Betty for a very long time. Her friend has been hiding herself away and Ann has been very worried about her.

[COLLEGE KID] [GENDER: MALE] [AGE: 21-25] [FEATURED]
