Character Profiling

Name: Courtney Allen

Age: 23

Marital Status: Single (Boyfriend - Aaron Jones)

Occupation: Secret Stripper

Previous Job(s): First worked on a make-up counter for Bobbi Brown at Macy's (American Department Store). On the side lines she planned on becoming a Singer/Songwriter. She was eventually signed by Island/Def Jam Recordings, but then dropped after a year as they saw no gap in the market for her.

Residency: Studio Apartment in Compton, LA

Family Life: Good relationship with Mum and Dad, however they think she works as a receptionist and lives in an apartment in Brentwood, LA - when they come over she uses a fellow stripper's - Amy- apartment. Her older sister is a surgeon, so she has a lot of pressure to do well, which could be the reason she crumbled, especially as her dream profession is taken as a joke with her family - not in a mean way, more unrealistic. Aaron is unaware that she is a dancer/stripper at the club, he thinks she is waitress there.

Close Friends: Aaron is the only 'friend' she can rely on. Amy is somewhat of a friend, but she is hard to trust, just like anyone in her job. She pushed all her friends away by lying about life.

Where Is This Person Right Now?: In the toilets of the adult club, crying about the failure that is her life and getting ready to take a 'hit' to numb there pain.

Who Are They With?: Currently alone, but is about to be joined by a drug ravaged colleague.

Where Were They at 10pm Last Night?: Preparing to get ready for a night of senseless adulterated dancing.

Who Were They With?: Amy and 7 other colleagues.

Where Do They See Themselves In 5 Years?: Hopefully a success in the music industry or married to Aaron with children in a house in suburbia LA far away from her current life, also clean off drugs.
