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.
