The Victim Character Profile (original)

Name: Martine Roberts
Age: 20
Profession: Care worker

Background: In the film, Martine grew up in a big family, consisting of a few brothers and sisters, and had to help look after her siblings with her mother. Because she had always looked after her siblings, she decided that she wanted to work with children as a job. She decided to go into social care, looking after children, who have suffered from trauma during their life.

Appearance: In the film, she has just come back from work, so she is wearing a white shirt, a black skirt, a cardigan and an NHS staff badge. She is still wearing her uniform when she is poisoned by the killer.

Personality: Martine has quite a shy personality, however can be bubbly around people that she knows well. She always attempts to use humour to try and make less fortunate children feel better. Martine is always seen smiling around work, because she loves her job.

Her role in the film: Martine is the character who will be killed, by poisoning. She is at home when the killing is about to take place. She goes into the kitchen to make a drink, adds the coffee in the cup, and then leaves the room to go upstairs while the kettle is boiling. During this time, the killer enters the kitchen, via the back door, which is unlocked, and adds poison in with the coffee mixture. Martine then comes back downstairs when the kettle has finished boiling and adds hot water to the coffee mixture. She takes a sip, and then hears a knock on the front door, the detective, and walks to answer. It is at this moment that she drops on the floor, unconsious.
