Character:
Name: Marnie Burrell
Age: 20
Birthday: November 17th, 1991
Country of origin: England
Reason for flight: After shooting for a few months in L.A., Marnie is off to Sydney to do press for a book written by one of her producers.
Personality: Where most people have a thousand layers to their personality, Marnie has just two. She has the side of herself she presents to people and the side that comes out when the first cracks. She isn't a bad person, she's simply never learned how to stop acting and so can only be genuine when pushed to extremes.
The face she fronts is charming, smiley and a bit simple. No one appreciates an intelligent woman, she's found, so she plays up the ditz angle. Marnie limits her vocabulary, pretends not to understand literary references and defers to others' judgment. No one ever asked her to behave this way, but Marnie assumes it's expected of her. She's her own worst enemy because she has no faith in herself. In her mind, it's better to be good at the game than be genuine and unsuccessful.
Her effervescence fades so fast when she's upset. A lifetime of shoving feelings down, of acting the ingenue, the perfect daughter, has given her a hair-trigger. Marnie will say the cruelest things you've ever heard if pushed past her breaking point, then turn around and apologize an hour later. She doesn't mean to be hurtful, but sometimes the words come spilling out. Quite judgmental and keen, it's hard for her to ignore the flaws of the people around her as she smiles and smiles.
At her core, she's a good person who doesn't believe that good people exist in this world. She's convinced that she has to act in order to seem good. Nothing about Marnie is genuine unless you succeed in breaking her down.
Appearance: Marnie is, as most actresses are, quite beautiful. Her long brown hair falls in curls about her shoulders and her green-brown eyes seem to shine with a light of their own. On the screen, she appears curvy and perhaps a bit on the heavy side, but that's only the camera. Most people are struck with how very small she is in person. At 5'3" and 100 or so odd pounds, Marnie is almost pocket-sized.
Her style is simple, yet chic. She tries to think of herself as an Audrey Hepburn-type (which is how she's being marketed), so her clothes are classic and understated. Alone in London, though, with a pair of sunglasses on, she's a regular tomboy. Put her in a pair of skinny jeans and a cardigan and Marnie is as happy as can be.
PB: Emilia Clarke
History: A child of means, Marnie never wanted for anything growing up. Her childhood was rather lonely, but she had more than her share of toys and pets to keep her company. Her elder brother was also quite nurturing in lieu of her parents. The closer she became to him, however, the more her parents tried to push them apart.
Marnie went to all the best schools. She earned top marks, starred in all the drama productions. Really, she excelled at anything she tried without really trying. Heaped with praise by her family, Marnie soon became full of herself. If everyone else found her so brilliant, why should she deny the world her talent?
Before she enrolled in university, she featured in her first motion picture. Since, she's played the same role about five times. Marnie is always the innocent daughter kidnapped by terrorists, the virginal priestess who must instruct the hero, or the innocent friend of the crass female protagonist. It's a job, isn't it, but she still resents the typecasting.
After filming a well-received SyFy series, Marnie agreed to go on her producer's book tour. Chronicling the writing process as well as the shoot, the book is an important tool for aspiring filmmakers, or so Marnie tells herself. When push comes to shove, she's just happy to get out of America for a few weeks.
Special skills: Decent fencer (you don't walk off the set of a fantasy film without learning anything), excellent tree-climber, good sense of direction.
Strengths: She's perfected her poker face, strong-willed, unapologetic, charming when she wants to be, empathetic.
Weaknesses: Two-faced, spoiled, immature, easily flustered if sexuality is mentioned in any way, much too proud, altogether too dependent on others, does not have much life experience, has never had to learn any practical skills.
Misc: She's a good singer? Not as fucknuts in this game.
Inventory: Waterproof laptop case: Toshiba 17" laptop with charger, flash drive, DVD (Blue Valentine), headphones, iPod with charger. On her person: White blouse, grey pencil skirt, red cardigan, black pumps, hairpins, heart-shaped platinum necklace, three rings, one diamond earring, undergarments. Her purse is with the mermaids now. :(
