Well, I would say that if the director has not told you anything, then it is pretty much open for interpretation. Create the character's backstory, what she does in the village, who she likes, who she would love to hang around and why, that sort of thing. It really helps flesh out the character. Too often plays fall flat, especially in a community theatre setting, because the background, secondary, and tertiary characters are not fleshed out, which leads to them not being acted as well as they could be which drags a scene down.

Anyway, not trying to get off on some kind of ranty lecture thing ^^
