Margaret Moore

Margaret Moore is a supporting character in Locals Only!.

## Personality

Margaret yearns for a chance in the spotlight, but lacks the confidence to step up and put herself out there. despite her lack of self-confidence. Her meek and shy nature often keeps her in the background, only becoming noticeable when asked for her opinion, to which she readily agrees. Her habit of writing notes and observing the more popular students' behaviors reflects her aspirations to better understand and eventually integrate into their social circles. As Margaret is interested in photography, she use her position in the school's yearbook club to sneakily take pictures for the same purpose as well. She plans to one day use these notes to join the ranks of the popular girls, but she doesn’t want to rush right in. Despite her desire to join the ranks of the popular girls, Margaret's fear of being singled out due to her family's embarrassing reputation and financial status holds her back. The irony lies in the fact that she is the only one overly concerned about these matters, highlighting her internal struggle with self-worth and external judgment. Ironically, her best friend Janice Powell is much more of a socialite than her, despite being just as “rustic” as Margaret’s supposedly mortifying parents. Her friendship with Janice, who is more socially adept, presents an interesting dynamic. Janice's efforts to boost Margaret's confidence through various means, including assigning her important roles in productions (however miscast), showcase her caring and supportive nature. Margaret's willingness to proof-read scripts for Janice in her free time and her interactions in the yearbook club demonstrate her dedication to her interests, even as she navigates her self-doubt and the complexities of teenage social dynamics. Her journey toward finding her voice and overcoming her fears is a central aspect of her character development.
