My character design is that of an Elf girl who’s from another world but decides to come and live in the modern human world as she is very adventurous and excitable and just has a general fascination with things that are new to her. The back story I have created for her focuses on these elements and helps to add interests and personality to her which I think is important. It also helps to add a narrative to her character and a storyline for what she might do next. Below is a drawing I created of my character showing off what she looks like along with the background of her cottage in the woods.
My character’s name is Luna. She is 20 years old and she has a very outgoing personality and is really bright and bubbly. She has some magical powers but she isn’t very good at controlling them, she doesn’t have a wand or anything and casts spells from her hands. She really loves adventuring and exploring but is also really clumsy. She decides that she wants to go explore the human world as she is easily bored by the familiarity of her own world and wants something new to discover and she has heard many stories as a child. She decides she is going to go there and explore it for a day to see what it is really like and have a short adventure. She finds the human world even more exciting than she first anticipated and much larger, causing her to end up staying so she can explore longer than a day. In the human world she ends up living in a cottage in the countryside which is not too far from a larger city. She feels at home there and close to nature near the woods, but often takes trips to the big city to explore and venture further into the world and collect things that interest her.
She really likes the clothing and styles in the human world and likes to dress in fun bright colours. Luna always makes sure to wear some kind of boots as she knows she’ll be adventuring. She looks very human and can pass easily as one if her hair is over her ears, but she likes to have it tucked behind them to keep it out of her way. Her favourite colours are blue, like the sky, and pink, like the flowers that grow in the garden at her cottage. She has just moved there recently and is still discovering things she doesn’t know about and trying to make friends and is always fascinated by the things she finds and how things work here. She is really determined and curious and will keep exploring till she thinks she’s discovered everything that she can. As she is unfamiliar with much of the customs and surroundings and she has unpredictable magic, she always gets herself into weird and funny situations. These situations could be used to give her a continuous storyline and a narrative to her future actions.
