Reach for the Stars Lesson 4 - Characters 3

          

Paragraph Describing My Main Character -- Faeryn

           Faeryn is a sixteen-year-old princess of Orotaek.  She is only five feet tall, but her light-brown, wavy hair goes all the way down to her knees.  She is exceptionally beautiful for her young age, her crowning feature being two brilliant, bluish-green eyes that reveal her deep, thoughtful nature.  She is quiet but not overly so, and when she does talk she tends to speak on serious issues.  She loves to be by herself and write poetry, and when she was younger she spent most of her time creating pretend worlds.  Because she was only a year old when her mother died, Faeryn has lacked a significant feminine role model and dreads becoming a woman.  Because she has become disgusted with the polytheist religion of her country, Faeryn is desperately searching for real, unchangeable truth that can support her in the midst of the transitions in her life.  Faeryn loves mountains, and to her they represent life and a way to break out of her difficult situations.  At her worst, Faeryn can tend to focus on the people and issues directly surrounding her and forget the big picture, and she can also become too afraid to do what is needed.  Though she is very mature, Faeryn has much to learn and many changes to undergo before she can truly become a woman.

Wow!
Nice, nice job on your character sketch of Faeryn. You have obviously put much thought into this young lady. From reading what you have written, I feel as though I am reading about a real person.

You have a beautiful way with words!

*sighs peacefully* I like how she sounds! But when I read it it sounded as if I already knew that. I thought to myself for a moment, and I just realized that you did such a great job in describing her feelings in this last part you posted that when you wrote the character description I knew some of it already! I think that is wonderful!
And thank you for your wonderful comment. I love when you tell me what I can do to make it better! It's so helpful! I'm sure you understand!
And I am soo sorry to inform you that *frowns* *clears throat* well...that third chapter is not acurate any more. *cries* We have to rewrite it again!!! I'm so mad...oh well. Actually none of the first three chapters are all the way acurate anymore. You see, every time Katie and me talk on the phone, we get new ideas and thoughts...I almost wish we didn't talk so that we could make some visible proggres! But then again, I know that it is for the best that we are re-writing things.
Well so just for a heads up, when we send you the next chapter, it will just be a revised version of the first three.
Well anyway, so long!
