Claudia & Mrs Laderman

Bate Motel - Claudia & Mrs Laderman

In this unit we need to create two characters which will be from the chosen series, which for me is Bate Motel. I have chosen the characters Claudia and Mrs Laderman because i think i can fit them into the series quite well with changing a few events and characters around.
I have been watching the series and have nearly finished season 1, the part of the season i enjoyed the most and found most interesting was the part about Norman finding the book of drawings in the motel room. 

This scene starts off with Norman cleaning or tidying the motel rooms, he comes across a book which is full of drawings of an Asian girl which has been tired up and abused, Norman doesn't think that much of it to begin with but keeps it on him and has a slight obsession with the book. He looks through the book all the time but doesn't show anyone. 
He ends up telling his friend Emma which wants to do something about this book and find out if its true. 
Their is a drawing in the book of an old shed in the forest which Norman and Emma go and investigate wanting to find out more information on the book. They end up finding the abandoned shed but nearly get killed by some guys protecting the weed crop fields so they don't want to go back to find out more. 
They also investigate more about another drawing because it has this girls hands chained to the bottom of a sink which matches the sinks in the motel rooms, they then look for the exact tap and find there is a Chinese writing on the bottom of the skin which tells Norman and Emma that it is true all the drawings in the book. 
Norman's mum was dating one of the cops which was helping her get out of a sticky situation with the police, Norman breaks into his house to find out more information and comes across the girl in the book, shes been chained up in his basement. 

This part of the series was very thrilling and had me on the edge of my seat, i think this would be a really good way to interpret Claudia and Mrs Laderman into the series by using the same idea of the drawings and the girl in the basement. 

I want to change around some of the characters and mix it up a bit by saying Mrs Laderman used to own the motel but was made to move out because she couldn't afford to run place and pay all the bills because she got ill and couldn't run the place on her own. Next door lived Claudia, Mrs Laderman was the only one that's ever been in Claudia's house and no one in the area even knows who Claudia is as she doesn't come out of her house. Mrs Laderman is her only interaction with the outside world. 
Mrs Laderman has always had a soft spot for Claudia and had a slight unhealthy obsession with her and very protective. 
When Mrs Laderman gets evicted from her house Claudia said she can live with her while she gets herself another place. 
Norma and Norman then move into the motel, Claudia is spotted by Norman and then Norman goes round and knocks on her door to introduce himself. This is where Norman instantly falls for her beauty, Mrs Laderman sees this and gets jealous and to stop them from ever meeting again she drugs Claudia to get be able to tie her up in the basement to keep her all to herself and doesn't want to share Claudia with anyone. 
Norman doesn't know that Mrs Laderman is doing this to Claudia and carries on with his mum day in day out trying to set up the motel. One day he was in one of the motel rooms trying to sort out the rooms and came across the a book which had drawings of a girl which had been tied up and abused in the drawings. He keeps the book but doesnt think much of it and carries on. 
He takes another look at the book and starts to think about how much it looks like Claudia who lives next door, one night he goes round to knock on Claudia and Mrs Laderman answers the door she says Claudia isn't in at the moment and shuts the door in Norman's face, he has a hunch that something else is going on and breaks into the house from the back door. The house is dark and gloomy and looks like no one lives there, he hears noises from the basement and goes down and see's Claudia tied up to the wall. She has been beaten and has got bruises all over her. He saves her from the basement and as they are escaping Mrs Laderman stops Claudia by grabbing hold of her, Norman goes behind her and hits her round the face with a rolling pin which was on the side in the kitchen. Mrs Laderman was out cold and they escape the house.   

This is the story i have made up to base my characters on by using facts which happened in the series and then also changing a few of the characters and adding in scenes. I now need to do some face and hair charts for Claudia and Mrs Laderman. I will be doing a face chart for Mrs Laderman showing her after she is hit with the rolling pin and then Claudia with rope burns and bruises from being tied up and beaten up and also needle wounds from Mrs Laderman drugging her.
