So I got a story idea and I've been working on it for a couple days now. I'm so excited and I can't wait to start!!! It'll be a different genre then I've ever written.... actually... I'm not sure exactly what genre it fits into but it'll still be different. Its not for script frenzy because I'm not doing that this year.
I wrote out my kind of main characters profile. Its not perfect but it'll do for now.
Oh, and I promise I wrote this all out BEFORE I read Katie's profile for her character, So I'm not in fact copying her description of her girl.
Promise.
Pinky Promise!!

Protagonist Questionnaire
1. What is your protagonist? A person? An animal? Something else?
She's a girl. Duur. Although I"m thinking about having a couple Main Characters. Different parts will be told by different people.
2. Where does your protagonist live? Does he or she like it there?
Liena doesn't live anywhere really. She travels to much. But she does have a certain spot she usually rests at in the middle of nowhere (meaning I haven't figured it out yet)
3. What does your protagonist look like? Hair color? Height? Distinguishing features?
She 16 and has dyed black hair which she always wears up with two silver knives holding it in a bun. Her eyes are startlingly blue (think Frodo) like she should be wearing contacts, but she's not. She's not pale, but she's not tan either. She's about 5'4 with a very athletic body. On the inside of her left wrist is a tattoo that changes with her mood which is part of her being "not of this world ooOOooo"

The only thing she ever wants is to have a home and a garden somewhere peaceful where she won't hear everyone else's thoughts.
14. Is your protagonist outgoing? Shy? What do people think when they first meet your

Liena is very confident. She has to be, but if it wasn't for her upbringing she might have been shy. She's not surprisingly uncomfortable around many people and sometimes has to force herself to be outgoing. When people meet her (which is rare) they are a little intimidated by her because she knows to much for her age and can be unreachable but they quickly see that she is one of the kindest girls they will ever meet.

She walks.
She always looked like she had somewhere important to be. Taking long strides and walking as quickly as she could without plowing over anyone in front of her. She would dart around people never pausing to look at anything, just moving. Always moving.
