Yeah. The thread maker should add more detail. I mean like how the story would work of its flow so we can adjust our characters.
Name: Nella Oddfellow Age: 16 Appearance: -waist-length light-brown hair -usually kept in twin braids -circular, thick-framed glasses -round, cloudy-blue eyes -Wears an olive-colored, woolen turtleneck and light-colored jeans with turquoise yarn stitching -4'9" -stout -rosy cheeks Personality: -loves to read, mostly romance books -lower average in school -shy -Hopeless romantic, ALWAYS has a crush on a random stranger and pursues him in silence for weeks -Socially awkward, always seems to say the wrong thing -Can't make friends easily -Clingy -Most people that talk to her only talk to her because they feel bad she's always alone -Annoyingly unconfident -when talking, mostly talks about current crush -Speaks with a stutter Bio: -Lived in Michigan until she was eight, when her mother's theater group broke up -Got glasses when she was ten and wears them every day. Can't get contacts because they don't fit her eyes properly -Has a friend that forces her to harm herself to prove her friendship loyalty Family -Lives with her ex-actress mother -Mother's theater group disbanded as members formed families -Mother spends her time auditioning, hoping to make her comeback as an actress -Mother is unable to cook or clean -Mother has delusions of crazed fans sending her mail, which Nella keeps up by telling her that whenever mail, such as bills, arrive -Mother is very harsh with Nella, as she wants Nella to do and be her best -Mother loves Nella very much and makes sure to tell her often Home Environment -Lives in a rundown, old apartment building -Apartment includes a bathroom, one roo with a walk-in closet, and a living room/kitchen -Nella uses the walk-in closet as a room -Garbage lays in corners rotting -Many ceiling panels have vanished -Windows are rusty -Nella takes care of her mother, while her talents in housekeeping match her mother's -Likes school more than home School Environment -Only has one person she considers a friend -Her friend is the first person she met after moving to Michigan -People avoid talking to her because she's vaguely annoying -Sits in the back of the class and rarely participates -Often falls asleep in class I suppose this is a case where the story doesn't make the characters, but rather the characters make the story
Swoops, I forgot to write about the family for mine (Continuation of Cheyenne lol) She lives with her Mother and older brother, as her father died in the military Her bother takes care of her because her mother is depressed Brothers name is Andy and he loves to pick on her, he's somewhat of a jock but not as popular and he has the same looks as Cheyenne, but has neatly cut hair and no glasses. He's more confident than Cheyenne and is always able to tell when she's feeling super depressed Their mother rarely dates because she feels that she'll be betraying her husband and that she'll disappoint her children Of course, you don't have to use this family description. This is just what I pictured. Because I understand that it might not fit it
