History: Millie moved over to England from Asia when she was 3. Millie has history with both Polly and Liam. Millie is close friends with Polly and has always been jealous of her expensive possessions. This convinced her to rob her house. Millie has also known of Liam for a long time yet she has only spoken to him a few times. However, she is also jealous that Polly and Liam are talking to each other and knows that if Polly finds out that Liam was part of the robbery, Polly will end things between them.
Personality Traits: Millie can easily be perceived as someone who is kind, sweet and understandable. She is aware that she is like that and deliberately tries to be liked. However, Millie transforms into a manipulative and malicious person if someone does something she does not agree with. She is sly and she knows exactly how to change people's perception of someone.

3 Words to Describe them: Mysterious, emotional, duplicitous
Liam Chapman
Age:18
Profession: Year 13 A Level Student
Likes: Liam is quite optimistic so he likes a lot of things in general. However, he has similar preferences and interests to Polly. He likes seeing live bands, abstract art and marvel films. He is not like other everyday teenage boys who like football/sports and video games.
Dislikes: Similar to his interests, Liam does not have any strong, negative feelings towards things. However, if there is something or someone that irritates Liam, he gets very angry, argumentative, impatient and sulky.
History: In some ways, Liam is someone who has a very basic history. He has lived in the same house throughout his entire life, and he is close to his parents and siblings. Nothing crucial/serious has happened to him and his family in a long time. On the other hand, Liam has a tedious and promiscuous history with girls online. He has never committed anything outrageous but he is not someone who can be trusted. This is because he is easily influenced by opportunities/rewards that convince him to do bad things. For example, Liam was sucked into Millie's plan that targets Polly as she promised him that she will give him a significant amount of money, which she aims to receive from selling Polly's possessions.
Personality traits: In general, Liam is someone who is known to be kind and loyal to his friends. However, as stated above, Liam can easily get carried away and can be perceived as someone who cannot manage a serious relationship. This is because he enjoys the satisfaction he gets from girls, and finds using dating apps an easy way to talk to them. Liam looks rather innocent but he appears to be quite the opposite.
Friendship groups: Liam is the most sensible member of his friendship group, who are known to be the 'lads' of his year group. They are called this as they often get drunk, go to parties and mess around.
Influences: Liam's friends and Millie are huge influences to him and his actions. His ego and appearance also influence him to feel over confident when speaking to girls and to assure that he can get what he wants.
3 Words to describe them: Flirtatious, cunning, charming
