She dresses in black, as goths do, and has fake scars and other similar things on her body, as well as heavy black make-up. She doesn't talk much, but as the play progresses she becomes more talkative and helps to calm the other terrified tourists when they are trapped. The play goes on to show she is a nice person, who is lonely and has trouble expressing her emotions.

Our aim is to bring these 'old' classics back to life by giving them a modern day twist and educating our audience on the classic story and the situation we've placed it in (such as a tsunami). Conscious Hair + Make-up Lighting + Sound Indie Chick: "*****" Eccentric and Confident Peaceful Thalia Emotional Rajeev and Lili Araminta is an eccentric and overly-enthusiastic middle-aged woman, wearing quite bright and weird clothes, as well as make-up.
