Where Are You Going,
Where Have You Been?
Connie
At fifteen years old she is the youngest in her family. When around them she comes off as an innocent girl who keeps to herself and stays in her room listening to music most of the time she's home. But when Connie goes out with Betty she's a wild girl who is not shy at all. Going out gets her away from her complaining mother for a chance to have fun in town.
Arnold Friend
Arnold is portrayed as a "dangerous bad boy" that causes Connie to be attracted to him when she first sees him at the plaza. When Arnold shows up at her house with Ellie, she realizes that he actually looks older than he said he is. Arnold is a man in his 30's with "shaggy black hair", with a gold jalopy convertible that has his name painted on the side.
Betty Schultz
Elli
June
June is Connie's older sister, 24 year old secretary at Connie's high school. These sisters are always being compared to one another by their own mom. June is favored over Connie because she's the plain and chunky one of the two.
