1. For the base of the mask, I used colour black because it shows Juliet's boldness and strong personality. She is a strong, witty, immature, bold, impulsive, and loyal person.

She became so passionate about her love for Romeo that her personality gained a change from it. She gained both positive and negative traits from this. She became independent, strong, and loyal, but she also became impulsive, immature, and
