Introducing...my characters!!!
I think that I'll start with the characters from my book that I'm currently writing-Starry Nights. We'll start with the main character...
Starlet Alyssa Williams
Starlet is from Europe. She was born in England, but has been attending a boarding school in Ireland, where she has become a champion Irish dancer. Starlet is from a very rich family, but often wishes that she and her parents were closer. Her brother had died several years before. Having moved to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada, Starlet is going through culture shock, as well as battling her severely shy nature. Starlet speaks English, French, and Irish Gaelic, and also enjoys learning new words in Spanish. She has lived in England, France, Australia, Ireland, and (now) Canada.
Starlet is shy, but sweet. She enjoys being with her new friends, gentling a horse, reading her Bible, playing flute, and, of course, dancing. She has a hard time being friends with others because she is so shy, and also because she has often been hurt, by her friend dying or having to move away from friends. Starlet likes her name, but likes for her Canadian friends to call her Starry. In Ireland, her friend Bridget always calls her "Star".
She has thick, curly black hair that nearly reaches her knees, blue/green/grey eyes, and very pale skin. She is very short, but rather stunning.
I love Starry because with lots of money and talent, I can send her on some pretty interesting adventures. I've already got it planned out who she will marry (but that is truly another story!). I believe that Starlet's character was born when I was in the shower. Her appearance had to have an unusual name, and Starlet just fit her. Starry she is, and Starry is her name.
Alline Denise Melodie Garner
Alline is one of Starry's best friends. She is an outgoing, friendly, busy teenager who loves the Lord and others. Alline's father came from Scotland, and her mother is an Acadian from Prince Edward Island. Denny and Lorraine settled in Nova Scotia, and had a large family. When the book begins, eight of their nine kids (oldest one adopted, but having rejected their family) are at home, Alline being number six of the family. Mr. Garner is a fisherman, carpenter, and dog breeder/trainer, and Mrs. Garner is a home maker, who sells handiwork and such. Alline loves helping out, especially with the dogs. Alline has two dogs of her own, both of which are breeds that are considered aggressive. Alli is also very good with horses, and hopes to work with the RCMP someday with the dogs and horses.
Alli (one of her nicknames) is outgoing, but compassionate. She loves music, and plays the violin/fiddle and piano very well. She is a friend that everybody knows that they can rely on. Her motto (and that of her family) is "The more the merrier". Her sense of humour and constant busyness are sources of amusement.
Alline is about average height, with curly, strawberry blonde hair and cornflower eyes. She has flushed cheeks and is very pretty.
Alline came after Starry, and nearly got named Ariel. I love Alline because of her large family and natural like-able-ness.
Robin Perlie Douglas
Robin=constant energy and fun! Robin is another best friend of Starlet, but in her first encounter with Starlet very nearly kills her. Not the best introduction, eh? Robin's family is her, her mom, dad, and sister, and their huge collection of pets. With a sister who breeds fish, owns a de-scented skunk, and a Guinea pig and all of Robin's avian pets, their house is extremely colourful. Robin has a quick temper, but it pretty resilient. She was born...well, you'll find out what "disability" she was born with, but Robin doesn't call it a disability. She uses her life to show others that no matter what, you can keep going. ("A disability is only a disability if you let it stop you. Nothing's stopping me!") She is well-known for her desire to be a fireman (and also for her unfortunate habit of burning everything she tries to cook!).
Robi is slightly wild. She is constantly on the go with sports (especially hockey) and fun. She does everything a little different with her "Robin-flair" to it. Despite her wildness, Robin calms down and is a wonderful friends, as everyone realizes. She is the one who will do what nobody else will, and will stand against all those who would hurt her friends.
Robin has brown hair with red highlights. She is rather tall, and has a small mole under her mouth on the right side of her face.
Robin came out of the blue. I needed another character with a character like the one above, but had no idea about a name or looks. I finally looked in the mirror and described that (with a change on a fact!). Voila! Robin Perlie Douglas, extrodinair!
Well, I need to go for now. I guess that other characters will have to wait their turn. If you want to know more about these girls, just let me know below. I should be able to answer most any question about them!
Well, I have to fly!
God bless, all!
