THE TINY PLUM

Written by Ryan Sutton

Specs and description of main characters:

UMEBOSHI 12/UMEBOSHI 18 (the tiny plum) a larger than life, colossal, twelve-year-old boy with a bowl-haircut and lovable face. His clumsy heavy bone and inner bulky hide, although resilient, otherwise hinders his own subliminal message of tolerance and kindness.

MISAWA has a slender body and long black and silky hair.

· Generally wears a white see through gown.

YOUNG YUSHI/MISTRESS Young eighteen year old Yushi will transform into an old trollop within twelve years. Her gnarled mole filled face has endured much pain and hardship with a web of wrinkles to prove it. Long gray hairs hang from her chin while toothless gums wrap around a long cryptic pipe. Her wooden eye is common within her witchery.

· Think Dragon Lady in appearance/not to be confused with Chinese
· Long fingernails painted in elaborate designs
· Always smoking

THE TWINS YOUNG/THE TWINS OLD (Sintu and Sontu) the conjoined maternal twins are the most diabolical villains of this story. In their youth they are skinny and common - except for a long thorny vine that runs from the spinal column to a weathered flower pot. Sintu is slightly taller, making it difficult for this fragile Heckle and Jeckle type of creature to move.

In their old age, they still hold on to their long vine (the weathered vase replaced beautiful and golden.) Their hair is combed over, thin with long stringy beards that give them a sinister, shrewd look.

· In public they wear black gowns and straw hats (that are tattered) to cover their deformity.
· On the farm – only loin cloth

HIRATO YOUNG/OLD HIRATO is in his late thirties or twelve years later (little change) stocky, plump, balding hair with wisdom and a continued sadness.

· Modest drab robes.

THE HOKAN is larger than life (A full head taller than Umeboshi as an adult)

· Old school muscular – large shoulders and strong arms with a gut of muscle that hangs over their waste.
· Long thick black hair and a powerful jaw-line.
· Ageless.
· Always wearing a loin cloth.
· Conjoined at the hip.
· Sharp teeth.
