Still exploring the world of characters, today we are to describe a character of our own creation. I have decided to do Marian, a character from my book in process, Beyond Happily Ever After. Without really meaning to, she has ended up much like my NaNoWriMo heroine, Clara. While the details in their personalities are completely different, and I can see the differences, their general attitudes are the same. Right at first they seem almost exactly like each other, and you really have to get to know both of them before their differences come through. Ah well, nothing for it now. Marian has already become who she is with very little direction from me.
Marian
Marian is a blond, melodramatic, princess. She has a tendency to take everything to a wild extreme and put her whole passion into anything that comes her way. Always either in a tizzy of joy, a deep depression, a stiff boredom, a rush of excitement, a whirlwind of anger, or fountain of sympathy, her emotions are hard to keep up with, let alone share or even understand. Like many princess, she spent her whole childhood locked up in a cottage. Whether it was because of this, or because she is naturally so, but she has a fascination with the doings of other people. Her natural observational skills and this odd passion means she picks up a lot about the people around her that most miss. What she picks up varies from being able to tell what people are really feeling and thinking, to knowing most people put their left shoe on first. Though a naturally nice and kind person, she is somewhat shallow, and impatient. She often spoils herself with instant gratification, never considering what the consequences of her actions may mean to herself or others.
