My main character is Farida.
Physical Features:
-Body type: fat woman, with lots of rolls
-Hair: nappy, and is braided back
-Eyes: big brown eyes
-Facial Features: bad acne and her face is never clean
-Dress: Her clothes are dirty and raggedy. Dressed like a homeless person
-Posture: Hump back and walks with a limp
Personal History:
-Education: She went to elementary and middle school, but she dropped out of high school because she was teased all the time.
-Religion: Islamic
-Family: Her mother died when she was in middle school and her father was left at a young age. She has no brothers or sister.
-Early childhood: She lived with her mother in a shelter, they never did have money because her mom could not work due to an illness she had. Once her mother died she left the shelter and started living in the streets and going house to house begging for food, water, and clothes.
-Health: She is not the healthiest person because she eats what she can find and it is not always vegetables or healthy food. Plus she can not afford to go to the doctor to get check ups or anything.
Inner Person Traits:
-Self-image: She sees her self as nothing and believes that she will never amount to anything. She thinks this way because she does not have anybody to talk to her or encourage her to be all that she can.
-Dreams: She always dreamed of being a pediatrician, because where she comes from there is not that many doctors. She has always dreamed of being the one to help the sick children in her village knowing that she went through a lot as a kid due to the lack of money and doctors that was available.
-Fears: Her biggest fear is death because her mother and grandmother both died from the same disease. Plus her village Nigeria has a lot of different diseases that come through and kill a lot of the citizens that live there.
-Sense of Humor: Farida has always been able to make a crowd of people laugh. She is the type of person that uses her life as a joke to keep her self happy.
-Ethical: She is very respectful and even though she is not the wealthiest she still uses her manners to those who help her.

  1. Great job with describing your character. You have breathed life into her and and I can see her in my mind. Consider how you might do this with each of your characters to help you get a picture of how they would interact with each other.

  2. Your description of your character is very good and even the body type is good. But keep up the good work.
