Boy: The boy is one of the main characters. He is a local carpet salesman, dressed smart but not too smart. This suggests he is down to earth and doesn’t take himself too seriously. His clothing includes a light coloured shirt i.e. pale blue, a brightly coloured tie to reflect his personality, a black v neck jumper, smart trousers i.e. suit trousers and smart shoes. His character is the type of person who is able to start up a conversation quite easily. This shows when he asks the girl why she never gets on the bus and the subsequent conversation.
Girl: The girl is another main character in the film. She appears at the start sitting at a bus stop, wearing a cardigan, t-shirt and jeans. Her clothes will look old and rough, due to the fact that she has not been able to buy any new ones. She is portrayed as an innocent girl and therefore uses these clothes to cover her body and to make her feel protected. They are clothes she can hide under to seek comfort. She has had a traumatic childhood and has an isolated teenage life, shrinking into herself and watching the world go by.
Nurse: The Nurse appears briefly at the end of the film. She is dressed in her uniform, allowing the audience to easily recognise her character. The dress is a traditional/old style indicating that the mental home has quite a conventional approach to the way they treat the patients, i.e. that they have strict rules or systems in place. Her personality is of a sweet nature with a cynical edge which can be seen through her facial expressions and posture when the girl returns to the care home at the end of the day.
