The It Girl

    As I started thinking about my story and my characters, I knew I wanted my protagonist to be a female in her late teenage years or at a young adult age. I thought of some characteristics I would like her to have and noticed she was starting to seem very similar to me. There are many aspects of her I created based of myself and many other characters I am familiar with. I still have not started my casting process, and I believe that character's names and personalities should adapt to the character's physical appearance; Therefore, I will be waiting to decide he name until I have decided on an actress.

    Some characteristics I will be bringing into her storyline are:

• Brunnete
• Painter
• Anxious
• Stubborn
• Sarcastic
• Funny
• Enjoys television
• Enjoys listening to music
• Often is underestimated
• Smarter than she looks
• Fun hairstyles
• Supernatural TV
• Assimilated blue, green, black and purple
• Smokes weed, doesn't drink
• Loves but always kills plants
• Likes Pop, Pop-Rock, electronic and alternative music

   I also created a mood board based off what she likes, how she is portrayed and how she really is. I think the best way to understand a character is to visualize them. I really enjoy designing and editing, so a mood board allows me to project my research and ideas into a more physical and concrete plan.
