Thriller film character backgrounds

Within my thriller film, two characters are casted. This includes a young girl, being the victim and in some cases also presumed an assassin. An old man is also involved, being the key antagonist with the film.
The young girl - Annabelle.
Annabelle is a young school girl, who lives an ordinary life. Currently, attending the St Johns Christian school, she has been there for 3 years. Her past is though, not so merry. At the very young age of only 2, her parents died in a car crash. Though still to this day, the occurrence of this event is still a mystery being continuously investigated today. Due to this tragic event, Annabelle lives with her aunt and uncle. They struggle on a day to day basis trying to make sure Annabelle doesn't get mentally scared by her troublesome past. At school, Annabelle spends her time alone. She often spends her time drawing out her haunted thoughts, trying to relive her pain. When she arrives home from school, Annabelle rushes straight up to her room to play with her toys. Her carers don't see her all that much, only at dinner time.

The old man - Jeremy
Jeremy is a 58 year old man, living alone in a small one bedroom flat. He is a lonely man, having no family or friends ever visiting him. Jeremy doesn't even have contact with anyone. When Jeremy was a young boy at the age of only seven, he went missing consecutively for three days. He was found covered in blood, alone and dressed only in a white sheet. Before his disappearance, he was a popular young, friendly boy with lots of friends, enjoying sport. Since then, he has had emotional scarring with an irrational fear of being sociable to strangers. Jeremy spends most of his time in the flat, leaving only twice a day. Once in the morning when he leaves to walk past St. Johns Christian School on route to the local shop to pick up his daily newspaper and again on route to the playing field where he goes to walk his old dog, Buster. These coincidentally are times in which Annabelle goes to and from school. These are the only times people see him out other than when Jeremy visits the local supermarket to food shop. Currently retired, having been in the industry for 20 years, Jeremy used to be a taxidermist. He loved his work, having his finest creations on display around his house and is still influenced by his work today.
