I have been developing (and still am) this character since I was eleven. She's come a long way. Anyway, as she stands right now:
Name: Dreya (no last name as of this moment)
Living family: Father (who works in a quarry) and mother (but Dreya doesn't know this)
Age: 16/17
Features: Long, straight, sleek dark brown hair; slender frame; tan, freckled skin; bright green eyes; high cheekbones; a dimpled chin
Skills: Sword-fighting, weaponry, medicinal training, horseback riding
Personality: Clever, laid back, kind, compassionate, fiercely loyal, duty and honor bound, sometimes rash
And now, some pictures, so as to help you (and me) visualize my protagonist!
Imagine the following things on her:
Hair.
(this woman is mcuh older than Dreya, though)
Hair.
And because Arwen rocks.
Dress (this is Dreya's "village/traveling" dress)
Smile.
Eyes.
(Yes, this startling shade of green!)
Hair.
(this is not the exact color of Dreya's hair, but the length and straightness are correct)
AND FINALLY...
Freckles, eyebrows and lips.
(this is pretty close to how Dreya looks overall)
There you have it. My main character (as best as you can imagine her). I hope you like her appearance, though, if not, you'll just have to grow to like her personality when you read my books!
Happy Sunday! Let me know what you think of my "oldest" character!!!







So now I basically want to be Dreya when I grow up.

ReplyDeleteAnd how did you find those pictures? I think I might like to do that too, to help visualize my characters better. This has actually helped alot.
ReplyDeleteNicole: This comment makes me SO happy! Me too!!! :D
ReplyDeleteLexi: You're a hopeless romantic! ;) Focus on the action of the story! The love story is just a sub-plot. But..thanks! I can't wait to finish it! And I just googled random characteristics such as "green eyes" or "long brown hair." You have to be really careful though and use discretion. Google images are not always good.
She is so amazing! I can't wait to read more.
ReplyDeleteAnd so I start my journey down your blog ;)
