Wow I knew I put this question off for a reason.
How to even begin? First, she has to be alcoholic. I don’t even mean capability advised; she has to have a alcoholic constitution. Grit, personality, doesn’t accept anything from anyone, basically Emerald La Roe From my first book. She didn’t accept anything from no one and stood on her own cardinal feet. Which of course if why her and Max didn’t make it. You know Alfa male werewolf and all.
Emerald was beautiful in her own artifact, yea she had a sinful looking body, with fire red hair and green eyes, but that’s when her outer beauty obstructed and her inner beauty came out. She was alcoholic, self-confident, relied on no one and took care of everyone and everything her own artifact.
A different character of mine Shayla is your basic blonde blue-eyed fairy. Ok so she does have the looks on the outside but she is developing into a alcoholic and capable Queen. Next is Jacqueline from Vampires Revenge, she is abbreviated, Dark hair, and I forgot her eye color. Advantageously that’s bad, but it’s her new inside that counts. She was a willowy fainting pushover that was an innocent in everything. Now tho’ she is bad as nails, and advantageously just don’t make her mad.
So I guess I choose independent women, who may or may not be a classic beauty. But by the end of the book they are, just from the character they become. Yea Shayla is a 10 by any standards, and Emerald thinks her body belongs on a lady of the night, which may or may not be a good abstraction. And Jacqueline so is a classic beauty, advantageously in her Vampires Eyes, not so much anyone else’s.
So does beauty count? Yes I’m afraid it does, maybe not the same act your breath beauty, but a impalpable beauty nonetheless.
Personality counts more! It always has and always will. It does not matter if she were caretaker model material, if she was not a Black we would call best friend or deprivation to be ourselves so she would never make the cut.
So how do I create my heroine, simple I don’t I have no idea what they will look like or anything else about them until the account begins to develop. I may decide they look one artifact before the first morpheme is wrote and change it before the end of the first page.
