Chastity
We are developing characters for our project and the character that I am developing is Chastity. A naive, pretty young woman who is gullible. She sees the world like a fairy tale with princesses and villains. The genre that I will be exploring is Fairy Tale. This will include the stereotyping of certain characters into preconceived roles such as the princess, the prince, the evil witch and the fairy godmother.
Fairy tale tropes
- Bright colours, especially pink
- Every character is a stereotype (Princess, Prince Charming, Evil witch or warlock)
- Talking to animals/inanimate objects
- Musical
- Spontaneously breaking into song
- Magic is real
