character inspiration

We wanted to use uniform style dress to suggest that the girl is young and innocent. We want the audience to automatically assume that the girl is the victim.
In the film Leon, a young girl is one of the main characters although she opposes the traditional stereotype as she doesn't play the typical victim, but the audience assumes she is as she is young. We want our audience to assume this of our character to add to the  interest when some of the shots portray our character not to be the victim.
