✏to learn about my character’s reading habits
Andi was never an avid reader, she begrudgingly readbooks for school but that was about it. Normally her version of reading is justthe news online. Although, if she’s bored and can’t find anything else to do,she has been known to ‘borrow’ a book from one of the twins, and then justforget to put it back. Her excuse is that she hasn’t finished them yet, and shedoesn’t know when she will considering she’s still on chapter two or three ofeverything she’s borrowed. When she finds out Gabe wrote a book, she does readthat – although only to ‘mock him’. That’s what she tells him anyway, since itseems better than admitting she was interested to see what it was like.
☢to learn about my character’s phobias
The biggest thing Nessa is scared of is heights. Ifshe’s in a building and deems it ‘safe’, then she can just about handle it. Butsomething like looking out of an airplane, and all you see below you is thedrop, terrifies her more than anything else. She doesn’t try to keep it hidden,for anyone who knows her, it’s common knowledge that she’s scared of heights.Nessa flat out refuses to go on roller coasters that go too high, even if herpeers have been known to mock her on occasions for being too scared. Nessa justtells them that she’d rather be scared and safe on the ground, than brave andrisk plummeting to death from such heights.
✦to learn about my character’s family
Cameron comes from a pretty small family. He has hismother and father, and an older sister. He tends to get on pretty well with hisfamily, even though they don’t have a lot of things in common. When it comes toextended family, Cameron doesn’t see them too often so he doesn’t have strongfeelings either way about them. His sister is closer to their extended family,since she lived around them longer than Cameron did, since they moved to MistyValley before Cameron could really form a close bond with anyone. He stillvisits his family whenever he can, and tries to see them at least once a week.
♒to learn about my character’s childhood
Mason had a reasonably happy childhood, even if hewasn’t exactly pleased when his parents told him they were moving to MistyValley shortly after Chelsea was born. He’d never had trouble making friends,however he never had too many friends due to being homeschooled, most of hisfriends were simply the neighbour’s kids. He’d spend most of his time reading,or outside playing football but he was never one to rebel. He mostly justfollowed what he was told to do, even if it came with a few complaints everynow and then. After Chelsea was born, he made an effort to try and include herin everything, and he tried to teach her how to ride a bike, even if it didn’tgo down to well with their parents.
☀to learn about my character’s hobbies
Piper has no problem admitting that she’s a bit of anerd, and has the hobbies to match. She likes to look up puzzles online, andtry to time herself to see how long it takes her to work out the answer. Whenshe can, she tries to volunteer at the local care home because if she has freetime, she might as well use it to try and brighten up someone else’s day. Whenshe gets closer to the group, she’ll start to go out a little more – but fornow she mostly spends her nights inside with a movie or Netflix.
