Character Influences - Kim
(BCS Character & possible BCS Character)

Effy Stonem, Maxine Barlow & Michelle Richardson 

I was inspired by the skins characters 'Effy Stonem and Michelle Richardson'  and Waterloo Road character 'Maxine' for Kims character, which will be the schools popular bully/I do what I want girl. When first seeing Maxine and Effy's characters I imidiatly wanted to combine their dress sense and dress Kim like them. Kim will be seen as Queen Bee like Effy and Michelle and seen as a chav like Maxine.

Maxine's costume is a school uniform with a short skirt and different colour jumper to show she is rebellious. Kim's costume will be a school uniform seeing how she is a 6th form student, with a short skirt a jumper vest and lots of necklices like Effy. I want to keep the same conventions of a young, popular, white, middle class teenage student.

For the personality I think a mixture of Effy and Michelle would be good for the character as they are both very emotional characters. Although I dont think that Michelle's appearence will reflect in Kim.

Maxine and Effy's hair and jewelery convey someone with a lot of attitude and I want the same for Kim, therefor I have decided to use Effy like hair, short skirts and a lot of broght Jewlery to show a rebelious rule breaking girl.
