Character Descriptions:
NITA: Thuy “Nita” Phuong is a fit, Vietnamese female in her early 30s. Nita is very petite standing at 5 feet tall and weighing a very slight 100lbs. She moved to Atlanta, GA from Sacramento, CA to be closer to her family since her daughter’s father left her and Hope. Nita works long hours at the Buford Highway Farmers Market in the produce department. Nita has a very short temper which is exacerbated by the fact that she works so many hours and sleeps very little. Most of her anger is directed at Hope because she feels that Hope is the reason that her boyfriend/Hope’s father left her. Nita is a stern mother and her is philosophy is spare the rod, spoil the child.
HOPE: Hope Phuong is a very energetic young girl. She is a smallish 10-year-old Vietnamese little girl that loves but fears her mother, Nita. She misses her dad but is wise enough to know that it’s the best that parents are not together. Hope loves playing with her friends, practicing dance steps on Tik Tok, and most importantly jumping rope.
