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.
