It was not easy to imagine and build the characters that will bring the unmemory story to life. The key was finding someone who looks like what we had in mind: an old friend from school, a character from a movie, a former girlfriend, ...

It is always easier to start with someone you know and from there shape it and add details to make it yours. We usually start with a data or a character, and from there, we suggest things and write down brief descriptions, motivations, tribulations… Those definitions are always alive and we mold them as we develop the scenes, with the invaluable inputs from Carlos Serra and Bea Andreu, with whom we simultaneously wrote the Red Notebook.

These are the last descriptions of the characters that I keep (although some things have changed and others are sure to change)

Diane Bonet

Profile: She is 26 years old. Daughter of working parents. His father was a doctor, her mother was a lawyer. She has studied in good schools and speaks 5 languages. She likes going to concerts, doing topless, painting, playing video games, and loves animals. She is very talented in everything she does. She went to the conservatory, but ended up playing the drums. She has played in different bands. She is studying Fine Arts at college. She is brunette. Very attractive. She has a special, captivating and irresistible charm that makes anyone fall in love with her, be it man or woman.

Relationships: Diane and Debbie meet at the Pipa Club, betting on dice. They have been girlfriends for two and a half years. Always inseparable they formed an artistic group called the Killer Kittens along with Jamie, Kim and then Little Rabbit. Their performances have an activist spirit and fight against the great powers (government, corporations and the press). Some border on illegality. While Debbie is serving a six-month prison sentence for stuffing a bream into a safe deposit box at a well-known bank, Diane falls in love with someone. Upon leaving prison, far from regretting, Debbie wants to launch a new and much greater performance: stealing from a few rich people and preparing a "treasure hunt" so that the smartest will keep the loot. Diane is not comfortable with this new plan so she decides to leave the Killer Kittens and break up with Debbie. 

Motivations: Diane wants to take the most out of life. She is full of vitality. She has charm. She easily falls in love with anyone who comes across her. She is an explorer of sensations, of her own limits. She likes to get carried away by the situation. That does not mean that she has no personality. Rather to the contrary, it is a condition that defines her. Diane finds Debbie a catalyst for emotions and experiences. She finds her dangerous and full of adventure.

Diane is a loyal person. Loyal to Debbie and the Killer Kittens. But one day, she will find her real love.

Tribulations: Samorost attends one of the Killer Kittens parties invited by a friend. While that happens, the rest of the gang takes the opportunity to steal a cache of diamonds and money that he keeps in his house. Although he cannot prove it, Samorost suspects that Debbie is involved and threatens her. Cornered by Samorost's minions, the Killer Kittens hatch a plan to finish him off.

Relationships: At the Killer Kittens party, Samorost falls in love with Kim believing she is the actress Patricia Arquette.
