Zora means 'dawn'.
Umbrae is Zora's 'shadow' but Peele made it ironic in that Umbrae excels in running where Zora wasnt interested.

Zora role is in the film is the teen daughter and the big sister.

She kills two tethered, her fist kill was one of the Tyler twins, with repeatedly hitting her with a golf stick. Her second kill was her own tethered version (Umbre) by using a car. She took control of situation and did what had to be done which then this showed light and hope for her family that as a family there not going to die.

# data[].attributes.body
She is introduced by her sleeping in the back seat of the car with her brother and then her Father yells loudly to wake them up. The relation it has within the film is that they seem like any normal family arriving to their destination.

Zora Wilson is the name of our character.
Her name comes from a Slavic word for ‘dawn’, the furthest point from the dark. She represents light, brings hope to the family by being calm taking control in situations.

Zora becomes a maternal figure in some of the film to her little brother, this is something Umbrae could never do as Umbrae lacks a sense of family belonging and general affection. Zora also has her hair pulled back resembling organisation, Ombrae has her slicked back yet out – this could mean she is trying to keep everything together yet she is unable too.

Umbrae has minimal communication skills, and likes to laugh. I find that she wants to create a connection to the other family and that frightens Zora because she lacks the skills to create connections. Umbrae also means shadow, I interpret this as Umbrae shadows Zora with most of her traits, as well as literally shadows her.

Zora spends most of the film on her phone, this could be her trying to connect? She also seems quite stubborn, when it comes to the scene where Zora gets to drive she is persistent because she doesn't want to put her family in any more danger then they already are in. Zora opens the ambulance door when they escape the school, which shows compassion and welcoming.

Zora is the first to kill her doppelganger, this is significant as it sparked hope and new light to the family. She also kills one of twins which shows little emotional connection to others.

# data[].attributes.body
Zora’s shirt in the film had “tho” written on it, which means rabbit in Vietnamese. It is also green which reminds people of sickness. “US” shows many gory scenes and may cause some people to feel sick. She is wearing plain denim jeans which imply a casual look, and that she had no awareness the rest of her day would turn out like this.

# data[].attributes.body
She is introduced origanally sleeping, and her dad wakes her up. Sleeping is a sign of at rest/peace which is ironic to the rest of the film. The family appears to be a normal American family with the classic male and female parents with a daughter and son. Both of these points completely contradict the rest of the film which shows irony.

Zora; a happy thirteen year old athletic girl with a personality much like a regular teenager. Umbrae; Zora’s twin without the same happy personality and with only one intention, to kill Zora that is.
The similarities posed between both characters are much physical and appearance wise. They both have the athletic ability and physical strength.
The similarities show how the characters pose shadows and different levels of society.

Zora Wilson,
The name Zora is Slavic for dawn, representing the first light/sunrise. Zora took control of the situation which also provided hope for the rest of the family.

| The personality would be so much as evil, there was no real emotion. The portrayal of her twin Zora was much of the opposite, there wasn’t any ‘real’ smile or sadness, it was just part of her gameplay. Umbrae’s interests, appearance and abilities are almost exact to what Zora’s are. The only immediate difference is what in which her intentions were. Umbrae in a way was attached to Zora, not in a loving way but in a way of despise. She would not loose contact with her in any way for she wanted to have an advantage.

The labour of Umbrae is to kill her twin Zora (the daughter of Adelaide Wilson) in order to help the tethered ‘take over’ and show their power against the higher levels of society.
Umbrae’s death occurred when she was hit by Zora in a fast moving car, she was flung into the air and then impaled through the abdominal area with a tree.
The significance of Umbrae’s death towards the film’s theme shows the relentlessness, she hunted Zora to the very extent of her death.

| Umbrae is a dark skinned African-American character with slicked back, curly-ish hair held back by a headband. Her age was thirteen and she was of a skinny sort of figure but also quite athletic. She is dressed in a deep red jumpsuit with only a large pair of thin, gold scissors kept in her pocket as a weapon. The red suggests blood or possibly the significance of ‘Red’ their leader. Them wearing the colour shows they are respecting her as their leader, the colour relates to her name. The jumpsuit is quite similar to what they wore in the ‘cotton-picking days’ with suggests they are like slaves.

The rebellious second family of the Wilson’s show up at their driveway without a word being said. They break into their house in silence and then are introduced to their doppelgangers by their mother and leader of the tethered ‘Red.’ The introduction to their second family was unexpected and frightening. It shows that they wanted to scare them so that they would listen, they were rebellious and unstoppable when in need of something or someone. The nature of Umbrae portrays the rebellion in the film. Her emotion showed no fear and she was almost invincible you could say, with the help of her family also. This fighting as a family displays the togetherness, showing what the underground family wanted of the tethered.

The name of my character is Umbrae.

The name Umbrae often refers to the ‘darkest part of a shadow’ and it translates to the Latin word for shadow. It could have relevance to a ghost or phantom.

A ‘shadow’ is what the tethered represent, shadowing their twins above their tunnels.

The name Umbrae as already stated means shadow, it relates to how the tethered are the shadows of the society above ground, they live their lives unknown. “As a shadow.”

| Umbrae is the daughter of Red, a member and leader of the tethered.  Umbrae is a dark skinned African-American with slicked black, curly-ish hair held back by a headband. (Insanely perfect) Her figure, although slim is athletic and speedy. Like the tethered, she dressed in the red overall/jumpsuit. In relation to the whole of the film Umbrae wears the same rebellious attire to her ‘rebellious untethered mother’. The outfit brings to surface a distinction between the hands across America. Umbrae is quite plain and simple, eerily simple. Her expression is commonly pleased, happy and satisfied. The calmness on her face when trying to kill, trying to laugh, is a strong disturbance to the viewer. Umbrae, as quirky as she is was unable to connect with her double and in turn tried to kill her. She was so attached to her double, they were one together and unified, but they couldn’t join hands. Their differences were pulled to surface instead of their similarities and it was like ‘a failed’ relationship between the two.

We are introduced to Umbrae at the beach house. Although, seen at the driveway beforehand. Small glimpses of her face are seen in the light of the fire, cast in shadows. Zora horrified is faced with her double. Umbrae says no full words but is commanded by her ‘mother’ Red. Although limited to Zora’s actions, she has deadly control of herself. Submitted to Red and her command she runs after Zora ready to kill.

In relation to the theme of human nature, it’s common to see, ‘people wanting success and doing anything to achieve it, setting goals (start a protest/rebellion)’ we know that this doesn’t always happen. (aka. the American dream/hands across America)

# data[].attributes.body
A strong theme shown in ‘us’ is human nature. The umbrae (shadow) acts as the human nature. Human nature contains a bundle of characteristics, including ways of thinking, feeling and acting, which humans are said to have Umbrae is the daughter of Red, the leader of the tethered.  naturally. The term is often regarded as capturing what it is to be human, or the essence of humanity. The term is controversial because it is disputed whether or not such an essence exists. This is relevant to the American dream and the dream of living a full life. And the failure of the joining hands and unison can be ‘controversial’ also as it is disputed whether or not such an essence exists.

A famous fictional character that umbra relates to is the phantom, (comic phantom) who was named so for his skill in becoming a shadow. Phantom was believed by some as make-believe.
