In a crazy attempt to get myself excited for the outlining I'd like to do for my NaNo novel, I'm going to do my Beautiful People post on one of that stories characters. Krinna Rayne.
Krinna lives in a small village surrounding a small lake. The lake has almost a constant mist rising from it. The mist brings healing to any ailments. Krinna discovers a world beneath the lake and begins to learn a new way of life, only to be told she would have to learn three more. Not only did her survival depend on this, but the survival of everyone she's ever known.
Does she have any habits, annoying, or otherwise?
She tends to trail off in the middle of her sentences, forgetting she has a listener who may not predict what she was going to say.
What is her backstory and how does it affect her now?
She has grown up in a village steeped in tradition. Everyone around her took part in teaching her the basics of life as she grew to adulthood. There were certain way to do things, if you did them differently, you weren't welcome. This makes it hard for her to learn the costumes of new people as they're habits go against everything she has ever been taught.
How does she show love?
By listening. If she loves someone dearly she will almost always take time from her day to stop and listen to what they may have to say.
How competitive is she?
Not so much. It doesn't really matter to her if she'll win, or loose. Actually, if she's doing something that involves winning, she probably doesn't even want to be doing it.
What does she think about when nothing else is going on?
It depends on where she's at. If she's at home she'll think about the people in the lake, if she's in the lake she'll think about those at home.
Does she have an accent?
She starts with a Briton accent, but as she spends more time with other people she begins to take on a sound of her own, picking up bits of languages here and there.
What is her station in life?
She is the daughter of the lead villager. Although her Father holds this high rank she has always been treated the same way as the rest of the people.
What do others expect from her?
As a child they expected a smile and a laugh. As she's grown older she's become more withdrawn and quiet, preferring to spend time by herself then attend village get togethers. People are no longer sure what they expect of her, other than keeping to herself.
Where was she born, and when?
In the village, twenty-three years ago.
How does she feel about people in general?
She doesn't care for them much. They make her uncomfortable and she prefers to stay away from them as much as possible.
Krinna sounds interesting, and so does your novel. I can't wait to read more!
