CHARACTER VISION:
Christina, to me, seems like she can be one to stir up the waters between the students on the island. Of course, being all near the same age and nearly fresh out of high school, Christina is the type of person that would like orderly conduct. She prefers it to be her own conduct and feels that her way is the better way each and every time. I believe she could be a riveting character, especially if she gets along with the black sheep of the bunch, namely getting close to people with not-so-nice backgrounds.
She will be a watcher -- in the background always observing and taking in all that is going on around her. She will namely identify whose loyalties are where. The easiest way in winning over any constituents would be to identify the opponents weakness, expose it, and then offer a new and original platform that will dazzle the crowd and win over their hearts. Christina is not a mud-slinger and likes to win by fair election. She wants to support the needs of everyone, but she likes to do it her way on her own time. When other people get involved, then it can get a little complicated. She is a girl with an agenda and those who do not fit into that agenda are easily forgotten.
Christina before and after the crash are the same in one. I believe that she will carry over all of the same principals and book-knowledge that she feels apply (at least in the political sense). When she was in school, she was more at the forefront of the crowd with students sopping up every promise-laden word that fell from her mouth, but here on the island she doesn't hold that much authority. She is definitely one to speak up and make her opinion heard, but Jay has too much of a following and it makes her opinions near irrelevant.
Anywho, she is good for drama without really causing it. That is why I have chosen her. =)
'WHO'S WHO?' BLURB:Meet Miss Christina Moriarty. She enjoys long moonlit walks on the beach and sassy debate partners. She dislikes people who abuse authority and is allergic to cats. She is a witty girl that is cool-headed and quite competitive. She can be sharp with the tongue, but her heart is usually in the right place. Many call her power-hungry and a control-freak, but that is just how she sometimes appears. Christina loves to see democracy at it's best and she is not too happy that Jay handles all group decisions without even asking anyone else what they would like to do. She is a good girl who likes to laugh and smile, but is content to stay in the background. At least, for now.
WRITTEN AUDITION:
Christina hated to fly and now that she had lived through this, she would probably never do it again. The memory of the crash was choppy and disorienting. Like trying to fast forward through a horror movie while riding a Tilt-A-Whirl. The screams were deafening and the smoke disorienting. The groan and screech of the metal breaking and peeling away from itself was the worst yet. Her mind could not catch up with the sequence of events, but her body automatically responded, bracing itself for impact whether it be with water with the ground. As with the other passengers, she was lashed around and the restraints were unable to take the force and she was flying -- well, falling. Where there used to be a the wing of the plane was now just a gaping hole.
The next moment she was tumbling through water, so disoriented and panicked that she did not know which way was back to the surface. The salt water burned all of her air passageways while she did her best not to inhale any more water until she broke surface. The water roared in her ears and seemed to drown out the cries for help. It was probably that moment that Miss Moriarty had resigned that she was not destined to die at that moment. The moment of strange serenity, though it seemed like an eternity she was under the rolling waves of the ocean. It was very much like in the movies, where you can hear the internal monologues of the famous hero where they are trying to consider all of the possibilities and the outcomes that they would possibly have. Or when you see a montage of flashbacks through the good things that they had experienced through life. It was different for Christina -- she realized that she had not even lived long enough to die. She has yet to get some sort of political seat with the United States government and has not been even considered for the many internships that she was hoping to pursue while she pursues her career in law. The world had not gotten to experience her greatness, and that was in lame-man's terms, a crying shame.
When she finally did break the surface of the water, her legs and arms waved wildly as she paddled in the direction of the white sandy shore and away from the wreckage. Her ears were still ringing and sounds were dull, but she could recognize that people were yelling all around her and the crackle of fire was prominent on all levels. She sputtered and coughed, expelling the inhaled water from her lungs and did her best to move towards shore. Once her feet were able to find the surface she pulled herself onto the sand and collapsed.
It was there that she lost consciousness for a while, either from a concussion or shock from the whole situation. It would be long moments later that she would reawaken, trembling and frightened as if she were waking up from a nightmare. Little did she know that she was in the nightmare and still living it. Her body ached like never before and her clothes were still very damp from her encounter with the ocean. Heaving a deep breath, she sat herself up, trying to keep herself from passing out once more. She saw people starting to gather along the beach, staring out in disbelief at the wreck. And they survived. It is all just mind-boggling.
