Writing Workshop: Lesson 3

Characters, Part II

Character: Caedmon (Cael)

Physical Traits:

(I'm afraid I'm rather lacking in this area--I usually make a point of not describing my characters, at least not in depth, since I know that when I read I like to picture the characters for myself.)

  • I believe Cael has dirty blond hair, but I'm not quite certain...
  • He is left-handed
  • During The Blade Unbroken, he is sixteen years old.
Personality Traits:

  • Stubbornness ranks high on the list--whether right or wrong, Cael is like to stick with his first impression.
  • He is very quiet.  Sometimes he finds more comfort in silence than in kind words.
  • Due to the fact of his nobility and his proficiency with the sword, pride often comes into play.
  • He tends to be bitter towards those who wrong him.
  • His older sister, Muriel, is his greatest object of affection.
  • He is fiercely loyal to whatever cause he takes up.
  • He is quite responsible.
  • At times he can have a quick temper--he resents having someone else's will forced upon him.
Likes:

  • Swordplay and a good bout of fencing.
  • Earning respect and admiration.
  • Horses--early-morning rides with his sister.
  • To be accepted.
  • Finishing a job well done.
  • The smell of leather.
  • Being outdoors.
Dislikes:

  • An overbearing leader.
  • To be out of place.
  • His sister's girlish affections--he wishes he were the elder of the two.
  • Dishonesty
  • Having things kept from his knowledge.
  • His father's plan for Eordain.
  • His sister's relationship with their father.  He resents the love they share, that he does not possess.
  • Being unable to act when he knows something must be done.

Well...wow. This is a fantastic character round-up for Cael. Just those few things you mentioned for physical description are perfectly fine. No more is needed because you've pretty much described him by his character traits. I can see him based on who he is. Weird, huh? In my own mind.

Glad to see you back, and this is a job well done.
Your template here is quite eye-catching. I like it!

About Me


Photobucket


I am the sort of person who can stand on a balcony for as long as time allows, enjoying the rain on my face and completely alone with my thoughts. I soar with the wind when I am on the back of a horse, galloping alone through a pasture at sunset. I am quiet by nature, but my heart speaks through my pen. These are my writings.
