Donna

She’s quite a lively, talkative person in her late teens. She’s fairly tall with a good figure. She’s got a heart-shaped face with a small, sort of turned-up nose. It’s very attractive really. She’s got long, black wavy hair and blue eyes with very long eyelashes. Her complexion is … well, she’s olive-skinned. Her lips are very full and she’s got dimples in her cheeks.

Colin

He’s a very big guy, you know, well-built with very broad shoulders. Not fat, really …, just well-built. He’s in his early thirties. He’s got a long face with thin lips. Oh, and a small scar on his chin. He’s got very short, fair hair but with long sideburns and a moustache. Eyes … I haven’s really noticed the colour, he wears glasses. He’s got thick eyebrows and a kind of a long, straight nose. He’s fairly reserved, thoughtful, sometimes even moody.

Janet

She’s sophisticated. Well-dressed, expensive hairstyle and so on. I’d say she is in her late thirties or early forties, but she looks younger. She’s about average height and very slim. Her hair’s very blonde, dyed, I think, but I’m not sure about that. It’s always very neat, not long. She’s got pale grey eyes with thin eyebrows. Her face is always sunburned and very well made up. It’s an attractive face … not really beautiful, but very attractive, you know what I mean. High cheekbones, small chin… and yes, there’s a beauty spot on her left cheek. She’s very calm and reliable sort of person, very sociable and always very, very polite.

Robert

Robert’s a wonderful person really. He’s elderly but not old … still very lively and amusing. He’s probably in his early seventies. He’s got white hair, receding a bit, and a small white beard. He’s a medium build, a little overweight perhaps. He’s got very nice, large, brown eyes and he always seems to be smiling… lots of wrinkles round his eyes, laughter lines I think you call them. He’s got a very high, lined forehead which makes him look very intelligent, which he is, of course.
