Novel #5: Supporting Character

My supporting character's name is Daniel. He is 14 years old and 5"7. My supporting character is a halfling(human/demon). Daniel knows Claire as a close friend. They first met when he was all by himself and Claire helped him up. Daniel has light brown hair and bright amber eyes.He doesn't exactly have what you would call an 'exciting' personality because he's a very quiet person but he isn't always like that. Sometimes he smiles and sometimes he doesn't. Claire's family took him in so he lives with Claire's family. Daniel usually plays Kingdom Hearts 1&2 on the PlayStation 2 for fun. Daniel's favorite food is Potato Chips. His favorite movie is How to Train Your Dragon. His favorite TV show is Tower Prep on Cartoon Network. His favorite band is Three days Grace and his favorite song is "I Don't Care" by Apocalyptica. Naturally he can use magic better than everyone else because he's a halfling. After a bad day he feels better when he plays a video game with Claire. He doesn't get mad very often so it takes a whole lot to make him mad. The thing that makes him sad is when he's reminded that he has no real family, or so he thinks. He doesn't really have a family because his mom died when he was little and he doesn't really know where his dad is, so his only real family is Claire and her family. A secret he has never told anyone is that at night he looks different because of his demonic side, so he has black hair and emerald eyes. He is fun to be around sometimes when he's not so quiet. When they first meet him they don't really like him very much because halflings aren't exactly 'welcome', in fact even demons aren't welcome, but you get the point. The thing that I like about Daniel is his amber eyes and his use of magic. What I don't like about him is his silence![>XD] I think Daniel would like to go to Sonata, the land of eternal winter, which seems kind of strange considering it only snows there, but that's Daniel for you. Daniel's bedroom is actually quite boring, the walls are bare only covered with blue paint and nothing more because he doesn't do very much decorating. His bed is right by the window which is slightly to the right of the room. His bed sheets are navy blue with no designs on it, his pillow case is pure white, and he has a thick winter blanket that has a giant flower design on it in a soft blue scale[as in colors]. He also has a big closet that slides like the one in Claire's room to the left of the room. Just like all the other rooms the carpeting is plain and gray. Right next to his bed there is a small dresser with a lamp and a picture of his mother. The lamp is slightly rounded with red paint on it and a cover over it to protect your eyes when you look at it. Besides that there is also a desk in his room[likes Claire's room], but its on the left side of the room. The thing that annoys him is when the PlayStation freezes but otherwise he's fine. The best thing that ever happened to him was when Claire's family took him in when he had nowhere to go. The worst thing that ever happened to him was when his mother was killed by a demon, although he doesn't remember it very well. If he won the lottery he would probably give it away or store it somewhere. Daniel is the most afraid of hurting people around him so he tries to protect them as much as he can. More than anything he wants to see Claire achieve her dream because has none of his own.

Claire usually reads a book or messes around on her laptop fun, sometimes she hangs out with her friend Daniel.  She absolutely loves pizza since she's a really picky eater. She doesn't have a favorite movie or TV show because she doesn't watch TV quite as much. Her favorite band is Evanescence and her favorite song is "Where Will You Go?". Her favorite book is The Beginner's Guide to Magic.

Novel #4: Main Character

The name of the main character for my novel is Claire. She is about 13 years old, soon to be 14, and 5"5. She is [if it isn't already obvious] human. She has long brown hair up to her waist with bangs that always hang over her eyes and the tips of her hair are slightly a golden color. Her hair is quite fine so it tends to get frizzy, especially in the winter. Her mom always bothers her about cutting it but she usually changes the subject or procrastinates by saying that she will get her haircut when really she won't.  She has also has pretty emerald eyes and red rosy cheeks with a bright smile that never fails to cheer someone up. She lives with her family[and Daniel] in the City of Ell which she enjoys very much. Note: That this doesn't take place in our own world but in a similar one. Claire is the best at mixing potions because she loves it so much. The thing that cheers her up on a bad day is going out for pizza. The thing that ticks her off the most is when people make fun of her and Daniel. The things that make her sad is when she sees Halflings [half demons] roaming around the city. He family isn't exactly what you would call a normal family. Her father can be a bit nutty sometimes but also pretty cool and her mother is really sweet and nice but can be a bit scatterbrained. Her mom has brown hair and hazel eyes she also smiles a lot. Her father has jet black hair and dark blue eyes[that she absolutely adores].  She also has younger brother the age of 13, whom she cares about very much, he is really nice and enjoys spending time with her. He has really dark brown hair and hazel eyes and he doesn't smile quite as much but Claire enjoys it when he does. The one thing that Claire has never told anyone was about the time when her brother was 10 and he jumped off a bridge. She can be very kind and a bit rough at times. Depending on their attitude towards Claire she can be really nice or she can be very mean. I can't really decide what I like about Claire, actually. I think I like her because she's an extraordinary and unique character but at the same time she still holds those familiar characteristics. What  I DON'T like about her? Hm, I can't really say. I think I dislike her because of the sly smile I used to draw her, which doesn't really fit her personality. Although that answer probably doesn't have to do with this whole post. Claire doesn't really like travelling very much, but I think she would at least like to visit the city of Arcadia. Her bedroom isn't really special, just an ordinary bedroom. The walls are just plain white, but she's planning to repaint it or put up some wallpaper, and she has a few anime posters on the walls but that's it. The carpeting is just a normal gray just like all the other rooms in the house. She has a medium sized bed with white bedsheets decorated with different kinds of flowers. It is to the left of the room. She also has a big slider closet made of wood and painted white that is parallel to her bed. In the closet is mostly coats, shirts, old costumes, and two bins filled with toys she almost never uses. She also had a dresser placed in the center of her room under the window. The dresser is made out of brown polished wood with old fashioned handles. She also has a small desk right next to her door that's only used for collecting dust because she only stuffs school papers, drawing utensils, and drawing notebooks in it most of the time. She can be really lazy cleaning it sometimes so it tends to pile up things like trash and dirty clothing. She's planning to make a schedule for cleaning her room on the weekends or when she has some free time. The thing that annoys her the most is when people call her emo. If Claire won the lottery I don't really know what she would do with it because I wouldn't either.
