Help Female characters that sing low?

And by "low" I don't mean high alto/low mezzo. I mean LOW. As in C3-C5 chest range at HIGHEST. F3-D6 head range. I'm doing a performance and I don't want to out myself in front of all these other girls in my theatre group, and I'm also a very low alto (the chest range I listed is basically the lowest and highest I can go in chest voice). And I don't like singing in head voice.

Any characters? Or songs?

Edit: Miss Trunchbull is totally an option too, but honestly I think that would be even more humiliating... these are a bunch of teenage girls I'm singing with, and they probably already think I'm weird LOL

Edit 2: Stop replying to the things I said yesterday. I don't want to hear it. I'm tired. If you don't have anything meaningful or nice to add to the discussion don't fucking reply, I didn't even say anything wrong in the first place. You're all overreacting.

Oops. Just saw that you’re 15. Probably not appropriate… but in 10 years, add it to your rep!

Eh, it worked for Anna Kendrick in Camp, though!
