what is the most appealing type of female character for you to read from in first person? I'm asking for my YA novel

Replies

She is tall and has light blond hair that brushes her back. Her eyes are a mixture of blue and green, she got them from her father, and she has a fair skin tone.

She definitely arouses some curiosity. Yes, Heidi, I would like to read about a character like the one you are trying to portray; except you should give a closer description of her physical attributes. In that way the reader will relate to her more closely. Good luck.

Heidi, in the spirit of show-don't-tell, I suggest you post a bit of shared work on your character and let us find out for ourselves!
