Practical examples:
Her eyes were dark like molasses, a deep brown that reflected the soft evening light.
Her eyes were reminiscent of peeled chestnuts, a gathering of every shade of red and brown one could imagine.
Her eyes were the color of cinnamon sticks, a brown that wished beyond anything that it were red.
Her eyes were the color of sweet tamarind, the perfect coupling of a too-auburn sepia and deep hickory brown.

Practical examples:
Her eyes were the color of raw jadeite, the softest green with a speckling of gold.
Her eyes were reminiscent of tumbled jade, a deep green interrupted by spots of brown.
Her eyes were like spring grass, in every shade of green the earth had to offer.
Her eyes embodied the forest, fern fronds begging to escape the narrow expanse of her irises.

The Minimalist Character Sheet
So I am not the biggest fan of those ten page character sheets that include 100 questions like “What’s their favourite ice cream?”. Don’t get me wrong: If those help you with your writing, more power to you! Do what works for you. But I tend to discover all the little details of a character while writing. I only need the fundamental things. Maybe this works for you too!
The Basics
Name: including all nicknames, titles, etc.
Gender
Age
Role in the Narrative
Physical Description: focus on defining features
GMC (If you want to learn more about the concept, check out this post.)
Internal Goal
Internal Motivation
Internal Conflict
External Goal
External Motivation
External Conflict
Personality
Short characterization: internal personality and external behavior
Their biggest failure/issue/flaw: and how it impacts their life/personality/behavior
Backstory: and its consequences, such as triggers
Speech pattern: at least three speech marks that emphasize their personality (if you want to learn more about speech patterns, check out this post)
Behaviour pattern: at least three habits that emphasize their personality
Character Arc: where do they start, how do they change, where do they end?
That’s it! Hope this gave you some pointers on how to start out with character creation.
Have fun writing!
