    1) Name: Lucy or Lillian

    Charlotte, but she goes by Lottie so you got it right with the L sound.

    2) Age: I want to say mid-teens

    twelve or thirteen I can’t decide…

    3) Career/Role in Story: MC

    yup

    4) Personality: Very compassionate, speaks her mind, and has difficulty trusting others. A bit sarcastic and melodramatic

    definitely compassionate and definitely has trust issues.  She’s been rejected so many times that she’s worried about trusting people because then they could hurt her.

    5) Would you be friends with that character?: If she’s nice then yes.

    She is very nice.  I would!

    6) Any other details you may have gotten from the picture: She looks a bit distraught, looks like she’s about to say something along the lines of ‘you’ve got to be kidding me’

    Yeah, I just wanted her to look not super happy or dressed up since she’s an orphan living on the streets of London. XD

    Also, it’s tradition for me to assign the character an animal now… so she reminds me of a deer, or a wary kitten.

    Yesss that’s perfect!

    7) What would this character’s nickname be?

    Lu, Lilly… idk

    Lottie

    8) Character’s greatest strength: She’s courageous and will stand up for others.

    Probably true.  And she knows what it’s like to be hurt so she doesn’t want anyone else to go through it too.

    9) Character’s fatal flaw: She’s stubborn and has a hard time accepting help.

    She doesn’t trust easily and can be overly sensitive.  So yeah, you’re probably right about her not accepting help.

    10) Phrase that this character is likely to say: “Go on an adventure they said. It’ll be fun, they said. It’ll build character they said-”

    😂 maybe

    11) Character’s favorite color(s): A deep royal blue

    That seems right.  Some kind of blue color I’m thinking.

    12) Characters family status (parents alive? any siblings or other close family members?): Orphan, possibly has some powerful or royal family members she doesn’t know about.

    Yep. Orphan.

    13) Single or taken?: Single, but I imagine she’s stolen someone’s heart (and doesn’t realize it)

    Single.  You’re kind of close in that she does develop a really close relationship with a boy, but they’re just friends.

    14) Characters children (if any?): nope

    yeah

    15) Characters hobbies: She’s good with animals, knows how to play a musical instrument of some sort

    I’ll have to think about the animal’s thing, but a main part of the whole story is her finding o it that she’s super talented at singing and the performing arts.

    16) Greatest fear: Being abandoned by someone she trusts

    Exactly.

    17) Dreams and Aspirations: She’d like a happy ending, something sweet and sappy that she tells herself isn’t realistic

    Yes!  She wants a family.

    18) Darkest Secret: It’s something she doesn’t even know, possibly some forgotten heritage or some memories that she’s lost

    I’m not really sure if she has any. At least not yet.

    19) Peculiarities: She’s great at acting, can change her outward emotions at the drop of a dime

    Oh that’s a good one.  I’m still working on peculiarities, so I’ll keep that in mind.

    20) The meaning of their name, (Either real meaning or your own story meaning): I have no idea

    Ummm *goes and pulls up Behind the Name* it’s a feminine form of Charles which is from Karl which means “man”.  It could also mean “army” or “warrior.”  Really the meaning has nothing to do with her character XD

     

    Again, I have no confidence in any of that, but I had fun.

    You we’re actually really close!
