role: the Lady - pretty, well-groomed, stylish and charming young woman. Age 25-35.
character description: the Lady and her boyfriend have just moved from the city into the countryside; it is the dead of winter, and the first to spot her is the autistic boy who lives nearby, Billy (main character). The Lady is a cold-hearted city woman without much patience or understanding for someone with a condition like Billy, displayed through her ignorance and mocking of his character. However, without anyone else to talk to, the two begin to build a bit of a relationship. But the Lady's self-interest outweighs any potential friendship in this new place, leading to a tragic accident that perhaps she deserves.
time needed: a couple weekends of full day shooting; times/dates flexible as of now.
