{ Carrie-Anne Rath }

Carrie-Anne is Suzanne's older sister. The film is based on Carrie-Anne's video diary, what we call the 'Week In The Life' diary. Carrie-Anne manages a video equipment store that rents and sells prosumer and professional video gear. When Carrie-Anne was seven or eight, she got a hold of her Dad's still photo camera and took a role of photos. Her father was pissed; it was a typical Carrie-Anne thing to do. When Mr. Rath got the film processed it turned out the photos were pretty good. She had what her father called 'an eye.' Carrie-Anne laughed and pointed out that she had two eyes, which cracked her father up. Even as a kid, Carrie-Anne was absolutely *literal*! If she couldn't smell it, taste it, hear it or punch it in the shoulder and send it flying, she didn't 'buy' it. From photography, she wound up shooting and selling video gear. She was a whiz when it came to technical and mechanical things, so Suzanne isn't surprised when she finds out she's rigged her house with several video cameras to shoot her video diary. She also has a number of cool ways to turn them on, such as photo sensors (that turned on a camera when you walk past) and Clapper™ that turn the cameras on when she claps her hands.

{ Suzanne Rath }

Suzanne is Carrie-Anne's younger sister by several years. Her parents got married when they were 21 because her mother was pregnant with Carrie-Anne. Mrs. Rath was what she called a 'recovering Catholic,' but Mr. Rath was pretty serious about his religious beliefs. Mrs. Rath was a bit of a 'bad girl' in her day, but her father was a bit of a straight-arrow type. Suzanne and Carrie-Anne's father is a fan of the British rock group the Hollies; he talked his wife into naming their two girls after a couple of Hollies' songs (see the 'Fun Stuff' file for more information on the Hollies). Mrs. Rath describes Suzanne as a 'good baby,' which means she (Suzanne) didn't fuss, cry a lot., or otherwise cause her many problems. Carrie-Anne, on the other hand, was a handful the moment she popped out of the womb, according to Mrs. Rath. Suzanne pretty much minded her own business for most of her childhood, she did well in school. The only problem was when Carrie-Anne would con her into going along with her on some adventure that usually turned out to be a MISadventure.

{ Morgan Bane }

What the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator calls an ISTJ (an introverted, sensing, thinking, judger). He is a sharp dresser, a distinguished, intelligent person with one serious flaw: He stalks and kills woman. After he kills his victim, Bane cuts a piece of flesh from their thigh or arm and places it in their mouth. This is his way of atoning for the death he'd caused. His belief is based on a ritual practiced by an ancient tribe in northern Japan.
