Sue - mother
Naturally attractive. Intriguing screen personality. Authoritative look. When she stands next to her husband, it is clear that she is the dominant character in the relationship. She is the driving force of the family, taking on all responsibilities to make sure she is constantly in control.
Female, aged 30 to 38 from Victoria, Australia
Ethnicity: White / Caucasian
Margaret - grandmother
Small and sturdy. General impression is warm and friendly. Gentle, pedantic woman always rushing to have everything done. The problems of other people become her own. In her relationship, she takes charge. She is in a fragile state after the passing away of her son and daughter-in-law, but acts as the rock for the granddaughter to fall back on. A woman that immediately takes ownership and responsibility.
Female, aged 60 to 70 from Victoria, Australia
Ethnicity: White / Caucasian
Frank - father
Slightly smaller than his wife. Naturally warm and pleasant appearance. Playful impression, likes to explore the fun side of life rather than spend time worrying about chores. When together with his wife, he follows her direction yet is not a pushover. Simply a gentle person
that has a likable personality. Non threatening.
Males, aged 30 to 38 from Victoria, Australia
Ethnicity: White / Caucasian
Sergeant Foster
Tall, slight ungroomed appearance. After working in the same role for many years, Sergeant Foster has seen it all. In a world of daily uncertainty, nothing can faze him anymore. From the outside, a serious figure that is the type that will fend off danger. Not really looking after himself, he seems very professional at his job but a stranger to work life balance. The role is his life.
Male, aged 40 to 50 from Victoria, Australia
Harold - grandfather
A phlegmatic, soft-spoken man with a subtle sense of humour. He always makes an effort to find the beauty in things and has sensitivity for any person he meets. A man with a good heart that he wears on his sleeve. After the passing of his son and daughter-in-law, he uses humour as his way to deal with delicate situations.
