Jenny
A 16 year old girl who finds herself being blackmailed by John Doe and Joe Bloggs. She is visibly troubled and is mentally unstable although when threatened she becomes extraordinarily strong and defends herself very well
Robert
Jenny’s father. He is tired of his daughter and her paranoia and drives her away from home. He has looked after Jenny since her mother died when she was very young and has become a raging alcoholic. Jenny having grown up with this behaviour is under the influence that this is normal and believes that her father loves her dearly.
Sandra
The receptionist of the hotel. She is a typical pretty, blonde, nosey thirty something bimbo who has along with Sergei been at the hotel for 15 years. She soon acts as a mother figure to Jenny, taking a great deal of interest in her and eventually becoming her only confidant. However this is short lived as she soon begins selling Jenny's information to thugs and is in close contact with her father.
Sergei
The hotel's Russian housekeeper. He seems to know everything about everyone that comes to the hotel, particularly Jenny. He tries to keep her out of harms way, but sadly his tries are in vain. He is close to retirement age, with deep set wrinkles and white hair.
Joe Bloggs
A young man not much older that 25 who tries to conceal his identity and his unknown battle scars from the audience by wearing a thick balaclava. Bloggs view of life is that his only concern is when he will get to next be in a bar brawl, he is the brawn to Doe's brains as his burly frame shows the audience.
John Doe
The complete opposite physically to Bloggs, Doe is short, skinny and in his mid-60's. Like Bloggs he never shows his face on screen to continue with the films sense of anonymity, his obsesion with Jenny and desperate need to know more about her is starting to affect his mental health and he is becoming careless.
