Character Profile

SEPHY

Name - Sephy 

Gender - Female 

Clothing - Expensive designer clothes. Mainly bought by her mother. Wears head band in hair a lot. Trainers and sometimes slip on shoes. Wears skirts and dresses which are quite pretty and young.

She wears her clothes at first with pride, because she likes them and thinks there quite nice. But to her she has always worn very nice clothes and has had a wide selection to choose from, so she hasn't really taken notice of it. And also Sephy isn't one to judge people by their clothes, and so they weren't a massive part of her life. But as the play goes on she starts to see that she is very fortunate to others in her clothing and actually she becomes embarrassed of them. For example when Sephy attends Lynettes funeral, she turns up in a designer, expensive black dress, which people at the funeral mock her for but also get afforded by as they think she is showing off about the fact she can afford nice clothes and they can't. I think this is where Sephy realises that she is higher class to others and she despises that. So from here she starts wearing her clothes feeling ashamed and embarrassed for reasons she can't help.

In the script Callum says to Sephy " Thank God. It took me almost an hour to find you".  This shows that Callum really does care for Sephy and would do anything to save her life. And by saying " Thank God" shows you that he is so relieved to of found her safe, and that she really does mean something to him.

In the script Sephy says  "Mother was driving me nuts!". She gets annoyed with her mum because her mum keeps wanting to buy her lots of shoes, and Sephy doesn't like this. And I think this is because of the reasons I was stating before about how now she feels embarrassed about wearing nice clothes because her friends can't afford them and she feels spoilt. She also says that her mum was "enjoying herself" and from this you get the impression that Sephy and her mother are very different in the fact that Sephy is embarrassed of everything she has but her mother on the other hand is very grateful and likes to show off about it by buying nice clothes and accessories. 

In the script when Callum runs up to her she seems very happy to see him. I know this because she says "Callum! where did you spring from" with the emphasis on "Callum!". So from this you can tell Sephy really like the company of Callum and loves spending time with him. 

During the script when Callum is trying to get her out she says " but I haven't finished my drink" and this shows that even though she feels bad for being as fortunate as she is, she still would rather drink her drink then go off with Callum. And this to me tells me that she still has this part of her that sees money over friendship. 

Later on in the script once the bomb has gone off Sephys first words our "Mother! Oh my God!". This shows me that even though Sephy gets frustrated with her mother when she wants to constantly waste lots of money on clothes for her, that she doesn't need, she still very much loves her and doesn't wish her any harm.
