Ooooh, this looks fun!

1) Name: Something to do with beauty, ending in Bella, gemstone, or healing plant
2) Age: 20s
3) Career/Role in Story: the main character or a sister, college student
4) Personality: she is loyal & friendly, reserved, & quick to take action. She does not like being treated like she is naive/less-than but has some learning to do in her life (’cause we do anyways!)
5) Would you be friends with that character?: I at least would not mess with her. Although, she looks like she needs a good friend who would act as a mentor but know how to speak her language.
7) Nickname: something her brother(s) came up with, but she likes to keep it a secret/just between them
8) Greatest strength: Has a strong sense of justice, or she doesn’t like to procrastinate on what she feels is significant (unless maybe school work)
9) Fatal flaw: easily angered &/or she tends to be closed off, sometimes lets her determination get the better side of her
10) Phrase that this character is likely to say: “You don’t understand- You can’t!”
11) Favorite color(s): Salmon because it’s a pink that’s not overly childish/girly
12) Family & Friends: Has a sibling(s) she feels responsible for (even if he’s older), some strained prenatal situation, but doesn’t see them as antagonists/evil. She prefers close-knit friendships but tends to keep them at arm’s length away.
13) Single or taken: She gets in a relationship at some point in the story, towards the end.
14) Children (if any?): She doesn’t feel ready for kids yet, but she thinks, “maybe one day when my life slows down & all the peices fall into place…”
15) Hobbies: fashion, blogging/writing (nonfiction), reading (secretly or she is the “the young journalist” kind), movie nights
16) Greatest fear: She looks like she would be the type to have questions about suffering (like “why do good people have to suffer?” etc.), so maybe like that, coming to find the answer to a question she didn’t want to ask
17) Dreams and Aspirations: prove herself
18) Darkest Secret: insecurity &/or the backstory to her greatest fear
19) Peculiarities: Honestly, something about the picture seemed to remind me of the popular girl trope, but also not. It’s like her character would be the type to fight against an antagonist but find out that she has the same battle inside.
20) The meaning of their name (real or in story): something you find beautiful, doubles as a symbol of strength or endurance

I feel like photos of real people are more challenging but fascinating.
