Well, here goes!

Meet my main character!

Name: Lydia Mason

Age: 13

Where she lives: on a ranch in Glen Rose, Texas.

Time period: 1869

Hair (color and style): sandy colored. Usually streaming out from under her cowgirl hat.

Eyes (color): bright, snappy green

Build: medium height, apx 5', strong and able bodied.

Clothing: checked gingham shirt with chaps and spurs. A cowgirl hat and bandanna tops it off.

Setting: On a ranch

Traits: she has a habit of wanting to be able to do things herself. She is often found saying things like: 'I can do it....but thanks anyway.' or 'I think I can manage.'
She also has a hard time being looked down upon by other girls who have the required, 'social graces' of her day in age.

Plot:

Lydia's mother died when she was a baby.
Her father is a trail boss, working on a ranch in TX. He had turned her into a tomboyish cowgirl. She could rope and ride and do most everything a cowboy could do.

Her biggest dream is to go on the roundup this summer with her father. Mr. Mason says that she can......IF she can prove herself to the ranch owner, Mr. Matthew Cubbins.

With the help of a few cowboy friends she does this and is off to face the wild, lonesome prarie.

Well......that is what I have so far.....Comments please!
