[YEAR 3] Story Development Ideas 2

We as a team have now decided on a basic plot that we would like to go with. 
The problem was that we were too limited by the original idea, so we tried to think about how to make this character 'relate-able' and give her more of a personality and a reason why she likes bags.

The old woman wants to replace the handbag that her husband gave her. It was the first bag she ever got and began her love of bags (you can see this in her house). 
The bag has become old and tattered, and she wants a new one that is the same to replace it. 
The old woman goes out to go find this handbag in town. She goes to the bus stop and she's a young lady with the bag as hers. 
She spends her day following this young lady all over town trying all sorts of methods trying to get this handbag off her, for example using wool from her knitting to lasso the bag away from the young lady.
After stalking the young lady all day, the old woman see's the young lady meet up with her boyfriend/partner and it reminds her of why she loved that bag so much (or maybe of her self and the relationship).
The old woman gives us and travels back home hugging/holding the bag. She gets home and puts the bag down in the empty seat of her husband. 

The end. It is open for more updating but for now this is a good point for our team.

We have developed this idea a lot from the original draft but its for the best.

Location: The locations would now involve the old woman's living room, a bus stop and town views (depending on where the young lady goes in the story will mean more backgrounds/settings) 

The Old Bag Woman: The old woman is a fashionable woman, maybe a little outdated but still can put together a decent outfit. She is sweet but stubborn/hard headed. At this point she could be any shape in her visual look.

The Young Woman: She would need to have elements of the old woman in her, so she would also need to be fashionable, updated in her style apart from the handbag so it stands out from her. Maybe similar colour scheme?
