Meet Claudia.
Claudia is a young girl in her twenties who is a little...different from your average twenty-something year old. As a child, Claudia was left alone for hours on end with no parental guidance. Due to this, Claudia developed an unhealthy relationship with television and movies, and through this, discovered a genre that she felt she resonated with the most- horror. She watches endless horror films until she starts to believe that this is the way life really is. Claudia is agoraphobic, kept in touch with the outside world only by her neighbours bringing her everyday requirements. Claudia changes her mood and style based on the horror film she is obsessed with at the time. She is often the main character, or will pay homage to the main character of the film in some way. There is a sense of uncertainty around Claudia as she is quite psycotic, and although she is content in the world she has built for herself, there is always an air of danger around her as you never know when she is going to snap.
Meet Quentin
One of the most important aspects of Claudia's imaginary world is Quentin. Quentin is Claudia's imaginary boyfriend. Claudia and Quentin don't live together, but Quentin visits her often and when he can't be there, they will talk on the phone for hours at a time. This isn't enough for Claudia, and she is always extremely paranoid that he is having multiple affairs behind her back. Because of this, Claudia likes to keep him under her thumb, often restraining him, or keeping him locked in one of her rooms. As Quentin is part of Claudia's imagination, he changes appearance according to the mood she is in, going from the most attractive man oozing sex appeal, to the most unappealing, lazy couch potato.
