SEEKING

She’s always been teased and has developed a brassy exterior to protect herself, but deep down she’s lonely and wants attention. Doesn’t care about her looks or trying to fit in.Must be comfortable with dogs.
MARCO: Any ethnicity, 16-19 (LOOKS 16). Marco is a scrawny wanna-be thug who has a boyish charm. He's the kind of guy who on any given day could make good choices or bad choices, depending on who he's trying to impress. He over compensates by acting tough and hitting on girls.
