CHARACTER INFORMATION

NAME: Dukken [he isn't given a last name in canon]
CANON: The Melancholy Fantastic
AGE: 25
CANON POINT: at the end of the movie.

BACKGROUND:

• Dukken is a kindhearted Goth, interested in philosophy, who lives in a small town in Connecticut


• He befriends a girl named Melanie, who he runs into at the library; he's sure he knows her from high school but she claims not to remember him


• The more and more time he spends with her the more he comes to realize she may be disturbed; Melanie confides in him that a large doll she's been taking places with her talks to her


• Despite signs that she isn't well, and confusing and poor treatment of him on her part (at one point, she abandons him with her stalled car, leaving him to get it fixed and returned to her), he returns to her repeatedly


• He keeps trying to see and spend time with Melanie because he's trying to understand what's happening with her and to make sure she's okay


• She starts constructing another doll, telling Dukken it's for him, and she invites him to stay at her house one evening


• Later that night, after waking up, her delusions take over; now entirely distrustful of him, she attacks him with a knife

(There is unfortunately very little information about the movie at all online; this is a brief synopsis and the trailer is here.)

INCENTIVE/FIT:
All Dukken wanted was to be friends with Melanie, maybe date her. Instead he found himself in over his head with a girl who wasn't well, and who wound up turning on him in her confusion. At the canon point from which I'm taking him, he's just been attacked, and is lying on her kitchen floor, bleeding out. His incentive is that he wants to live.

That's going to be huge motivation for him to fit in. But he also takes to other people easily and doesn't give up on them, thrives on building friendships, and has a genuine interest in sustaining those relationships. He's compassionate, open-minded, and nonjudgmental. Those qualities will also make it easy for him to adapt to life in the city, and to embrace being affectionate with other people.
