The Bad Girl

Main Characters and Their Development

• Ricardo—the narrator and protagonist, whose life, like a long road, is marked by a constant search for meaning and love. His inner world is revealed through a passionate, almost obsessive attachment to the mysterious and elusive «bad girl». Inclined to introspection, he matures and changes, enduring trials of disappointment, betrayal, and hope, while maintaining a tender loyalty to his feeling, which becomes both his curse and his source of inspiration.
• The Bad Girl—a mysterious and multifaceted heroine whose essence defies simple definition. She appears in Ricardo’s life under different names and masks, each time shattering previous notions of herself. Her character is a blend of boldness, vulnerability, and a thirst for freedom, and her path is a series of metamorphoses in which she seeks not only advantage but also her own truth. Her development is a journey from a young dreamer to a woman who has learned the price of passion, loneliness, and illusion.
