Character bios
Jasmine, Female, 18-23
Intelligent, attractive, and ruthless, Jasmine fulfils many aspects of the classic femme fatale, completing robberies with the help from her partner Wayne by seducing wealthy men and luring them away from their homes. Jasmine realises that she no longer wants to be controlled or moulded by the people around her, instead she wants to take her life into her own hands and make her own decisions, free from outside influence.
Kendrick, Male, 18-25
Suave, wealthy, and charming, Kendrick is the son of a wealthy businessman and a London socialite, yet despite his projected charisma and confidence; he is emotional, controlling and manipulative; he has a need for attention and a hidden more aggressive streak to his personality.
Wayne, Male, 35-45
A cold, calculating career criminal, Wayne is detached and stoic, prioritising profit over everything. Years of being in street gangs as a youth toughened him, and as he became older, he also became more cautious and wiser. Having known Jasmine since she was 14 and been using her to help commit robberies since she was 15, he has a strong hold over her, holding the position of a twisted father figure to her: despite this he doesn’t actually care for her, but just sees her as a way of making money.
