In the finale, when Sue's body begins to deteriorate due to her violation of the rules, the monster Elisabeth appears—a deformed hybrid of both heroines. Its appearance symbolizes the disintegration of personality and the impossibility of two distinct selves coexisting in one body.

Hair: dark, curly and bouncy. Eyes: blue Teeth: There is a famous gap between the front teeth Figure: ideal, athletic, with an emphasis on fitness. Overall impression: Sue looks twenty years old, confident, charismatic, and attractive. Her image is the embodiment of youth, energy, and success, which Elizabeth confirms as she ages.

Appearance: Hair: Dark, long and straight. Eyes: green. Figure: athletic, but at the beginning of the film her image rather hides her body than emphasizes it. Overall impression: Elizabeth often appears tired and unsure of herself, her appearance not meeting imposed beauty standards. The film shows her rituals with a mirror: At first she is pleased with herself, then she begins to criticize her skin pigmentation, and in the end she angrily erases her lipstick, which symbolizes her self-hatred.
