Character Analysis

My character is the man from "children of the sea" who writes letters to a girl that he is in love with. In our performance he will die and be reborn in a spiritual realm, waiting for the girl. He is around 19 or 20 years of age, and will appear tattered and worn out from the experience he had on earth. In our performance he will be optimistic and humble, similar to his reactions in the story. His attitude will change when he sees the girl for the first time again, acting happier and even more alive than he was on earth. His walk will be slow, maybe weak at first. He does not show a strong sense of power in any way, but does have a good awareness of self. His voice will be kind and ethereal almost, speaking slow and steady. He seems much more grounded to me in the story than his counterpart. He was her safeground throughout the  story, almost like writing to him kept her in check, even though he was never able to read it. My character had a lot to worry about throughout his experience in the story, as he was fleeing on a boat from Haiti to save his life. Writing to the girl helped him to keep a piece of home with him on his journey, and keep parts of himself sacred. The characters will meet, and both characters will be happy, but he will be much more calm, since he presumably dies before the girl, and has already experienced the afterlife he is in. His motivation is to understand his next life and to gain a sense of clarity and peace with the girl, so they can both move on from whatever experiences were in their recent past.
