Characters

 Cynthia is introduced as the first victim, setting a dramatic tone for the story. She's an office worker in her late 20s, relatable and expressive, and her name was chosen to resonate with her character.

Then we meet Lilith, the antagonist, a supernatural figure associated with red shoes, who appears as a shadowy presence.Her feminine name subverts the usual horror conventions, where we typically see male villains, and her backstory is inspired by a demon from Jewish folklore.

Finally, we have Pandora, a 19-year-old college student who unknowingly continues the tale of the red heels. Her name references Greek mythology, hinting at the evil she unleashes (in this case, Lilith) that will happen when she opens the box.
