Appearance-

She usually dress's well and always puts in a lot of effort in what she wears, often showing skin off appearing confident on the outside. She is effortlessly pretty and doesn't have to take a lot of time on materialistic things like makeup and expensive clothes. She has short blonde hair which is usually seen down apart from when she dances which is placed in a tight bun on top of her head sweeped away from her face showing how simplistic her style is.

Family, Friends and life-

Miah and her sister have mostly brought themselves up. Miah lives with her sister, mum and dad, they are very wealthy and to her parents life is all about money, meaning that there is little time for anything else. When Miah was younger she would spend time with various nanny's but none would stay for long, some would say Miah was possessed by a devil and that she was evil. Miah never has connected to anyone in her family and rarely sees her parents who make little time for her. Miah doesn't have many friends due to her being so uncomfortable and shy. People would describe her as the "Freak". She dances at the studio where she practices her ballet and then goes home before it gets dark. This is routine for Miah she rarely does anything differently.

Relationship with her sister, Fraya Sheer-

Miah and her 16 year old sister, Fraya are not the closest of sisters mainly due to an incident when Miah tried to push Fraya out of a top story window. Miah was only 8 and Fraya 6 but she swears she doesn't remember it and that something bad was trapped inside her. Fraya is said to be the party queen, holding house parties whenever their parents are away which is more than often. Fraya takes time in her appearance doing different styles with her hair, wearing makeup that makes her stand out and clothes that show off every curve. She's bigger than Miah and is frightened of the other side of Miah that comes out sometimes.

Fears-

Miah is petrified of this so called thing inside her and is scared of hurting her sister as the urges she gets sicken her.

Qualities-

Miah's best qualities is her kindness and compassion for dancing. She is also very beautiful but she doesn't know this. Miah's worst qualities would be how shy and nervous she can be, she sometimes appears to be very vulnerable and innocent but other times can appear careless and horrible. She had become very paranoid about the thing inside her who apparently trying to take over her. Miah and her sister have been learning ballet since they were 4 or 5, it’s the one thing Miah can do to escape her world.


Over the last few weeks i have developed a character that is very simplistic yet interesting. I wanted a character that i could develop a dramatic and complox storyline around without over powering the plot. Miah reminds me of 'Nina' in the black swan, i wanted her to appear different from other people yet normal with things that where happening in her life.
My character is built on the judgement that my thriller will be psychological with different opinions on whether Miah is actaully seeing the man at the window or if he is just a fragment of her imagination that is spirling out of control.
