Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview... a 15-year-old dealing with the fallout of the Watergate scandal. Arlene was living with her mother in the Watergate building when she made a chance discovery one night. Turns out there was a piece of paper with names and amounts of money on it – the soon-to-be-infamous "CREEP" list. Now President Nixon wants her and her best friend Betsy interrogated because they know too much.
Personality... ditzy and naive. But if she’s so dumb, then how come she’s considered a threat to national security? Everyone she comes in contact with assumes she’s just a mindless teenage girl. It’s all made her and Betsy a bit sour. If she had sympathy before, now she simply wants to see Tricky Dick go down.
