Some of us might need help with our characters, so I thought this would be a fun way to give tips to other aspiring writers. I'll start.
Scarlett Haven Age:15 Height:5' 11" Eyes: Blue Hair: Black Personality: Scarlett can be headstrong and sometimes she doesn't think, but when she knows she can do something to help others, she will.
let me know about some suggestions. one problem I am having is she's really good at like hand-to-hand combat, but I want her to be more vulnerable. I thought about making her helping nature her weakness. does that sound like a good idea

It seems like it would balance her character. ~Epic~

Fife Age: 15 (appearance somewhere around 12) due to certain circumstances he becomes immortal during the book but the Fife in the Character Chat Room doesn't know that yet! Occupation: Fiddler Likes: good food, music and his sisters. Dislikes: his older brother and being alone Physical appearance: Golden Hair, eyes...we haven't quite decided the color yet. Height: very short for his age, though he won't normally admit it. Personality: is normally very caring and attentive, a little gentleman, but can be rather mischievous if left unattended.

Thanks! He's My Precious, my favorite character I've ever written about, and he's been through quite a lot. He's fighting to free America.

I would have guessed he was a little older than that. You could theoretically, not have any last names.

she sounds like a living contradiction (not to sound mean) how can she be a rebel and a quite person? how can she be a rebel but not do well in stressful or nerve-wracking situation? (again I am not trying to be mean)

She is a Christian in a atheist world, and she just gets super nervous, so she stutters, does that make sense?

if she is a Cristian than why is she a rebel? that is another contradiction, Christians can't be rebels

Yes they can, Kyrin is one. In the bible it says to stand up to a crooked government.

Ohh, well she is a Christian and since that is illegal, she is technically a rebel. Her friend Rian only comes over on sunday, but she listens to Christian music and shoots a bow and throws knives.
