Agnes, the 18-year-old WVU student has been tentatively mapped out thus far. She has a rough in to MAPI and definitely a strong reason for wanting to be part of the organization. However, I am still unsure of a few character traits of hers. This kind of keeps me weary to do any lengthy blog posts in her POV.
I am debating switching the dorm that she lives in from Dadisman to Boreman, simply because Boreman seems to have more potential for a haunting scenario.
I also plan on having her mother make an appearance at some point, simply because Liz is a large part of Agnes's interest in the paranormal and having Liz be an actual character would be an asset.
I'm also concerned with whether to make her a people person or not. The name Agnes scream socially awkward to me, but I imagine her with dirty blond hair and dull blue eyes which typically convey a more personable character. I suppose the middle ground would be to have her make a small group of misfit friends.
Think about the particularities of Agnes. What books does she read or music does she listen to? Imagine the specifics of her life and include this in her blog. A "real" person would include details like this within the narrative. If she likes to eat ice cream, for example, consider a blog post about the type of ice cream she likes.
ReplyDeleteDo you think Agnes would maybe make her go out of her way to be more personable? Perhaps she's a bit punk or at least dresses in outrageous ways? Just a thought ...
