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

Hi, Heidi! I am a writer of a fiction novel. I would always like to portray a female character the way nature made a female, basically feminine and beautiful, with the attributes of strength of character and being virtuous. Rest depends on your plot. every person has to adhere to circumstances, irrespective of gender. Those are my opinions, every one may not agree with me, though.

I like someone who has a sense of humour, is determined, can think for herself and who is cautious about new challenges but wants to try them anyway and someone who would also behave in a way or say things that I would like to but don't have the nerve. They would have to be believable though. I also like someone I can relate to which would obviously be different for everyone as we all relate to people differently.

Good luck with your novel.
