The beginning of my Characters

I have thought of my the detail to my protagonists within my film, they would feature in the opening sequence.

Katie: Used to have a very different lifestyle to her life with her cousin now. Her cousin (Rachael) was the one to save her from it. She witnessed a murder 5 years before the film and her statement got the leader of a gang sentenced to life. She was always told he or any of his gang would never be able to find her. Her cousin or family knows nothing of what she did.

Rachael: Naive minded and sees the good in everyone. Very close to her cousin (Katie) as five years ago made her move south with her to excape her old life.

They are around the same ago (18-20) but this will not be mentioned within the film. Family loyality will feature heavily in their connection and will make them closer than friends, this is why I decided to make them cousins. Although no other family will be shown in the film/opening sequence, they would make reference to them.
