How to Write The Curious Child

1. The Curious Child is a character who asks questions a lot or maintains a curious nature.

2. The Curious Child does not have to be a child, but the do have childish features.

The Simply Curious

This Curious Child is more curious than child. Their main arch revolves around either finding something out are learning how to control their curiosity. Their curiosity is set to max and it’s the main notable thing about the character. Their fatal flaw is often times their own curiosity. You need to be careful writing these characters because, while you do want their main personality trait to be curiosity, you want to give the readers a chance to see their other traits, as well. An example of a Simple Curious Child would be something like a normal curious child. They questions things often and are never satisfied until they understand the why. 

The Annoying

This Curious Child is more child than curious. Their curiosity becomes borderline annoying. Their main arch revolves around becoming more adult or seeing something they weren’t suppose to see and having a realization because of it. These characters are usually more playful, but they tend to also lean to being mean. You need to be careful writing these characters because you don’t want the readers to hate them. Let them see another side to your character that isn’t annoying - maybe show them a more caring side. An example of an Annoying Curious Child would be a two year old. They always get into things and don’t seem to care about who knows about it or who they hurt in the process. 

The Naive

This Curious Child could go one of two ways: either they think they already know everything because of how much they’ve learned through their curiosity or they are actively trying to learn more about the people and things around them. Their arch revolves around becoming less naive, either through a jolt of a wake up call or slowly picking up the pieces to a bigger picture. These characters don’t have any idea what the real world around them is like. They may know some aspects of it, but there is often a really big part of the world that they somehow missed out on. It should greatly effect who they are as a person and character. You need to be careful when writing these characters because you don’t want them to come across as stupid. In fact, these characters are usually really smart, they’re just ignorant. To avoid this, just try not to let them ask obvious questions, unless it’s something that relates to the world they don’t know. An example of a Naive Curious Child would be a teenager or young adult that’s getting use to the world. They’re trying their best to find who they are and how they fit inside the world, as well as how they’re going to change it.

The Stupid

This Curious Child is a slow learner who tries their best but is ultimately not intelligent enough to figure out the bigger picture on their own. (Note: DON’T JUST USE THESE CHARACTERS FOR COMIC RELIEF. It’s okay if you do, but please use them for something other than as a tool.) Their arch revolves around either gripping the fact that their not smart enough to do something and learning their own ways around the problem or overcoming their stupidity and learning how to learn things. These characters often go into the world with a lack of everything but curiosity and are desperately trying to become the person they want to believe they are. You need to be careful when writing this character because, while they are very stupid, there are other aspects to their personality than just, “Haha, they don’t understand something simple.”. Give your character a reason to be stupid and a reason to overcome that. An example of a Stupid Curious Child would be an adult who was never actually taught anything as a child. They’re always trying to reach out to learn what they need, but because of their fear to be seen as stupid and childish, they often use round-about ways to do this. 

The Morbid

This Curious Child has a more morbid curiosity rather than a curiosity about normal things, such as how something works. Their arch revolves either around people accepting them or them showing others that their more than just the creepy character. These characters often know random morbid fact and are often learning more about these morbid things. However, they do have other interests, which could have either been lead by their morbid curiosity or it’s what gave them their morbid curiosity. You need to be careful writing these characters because you don’t want them to be creepy little freak shows. Well, I mean, you do, at times, but it’s important to flesh out your character and show the reader that they have other interest. Remember to give your character a reason to have this curiosity, though for characters like these, you actually don’t need to show the reader this side, you mostly just need to show that they’re not one thing. An example of a Morbid Curious Child would be a preteen who found an outlet through things such as creepy facts and stories. They have a fascination with the unusual and creepy and enjoy horror and mystery. These things become a major part of who they are and how they shape themselves, and they often talk about them to seem as though they’re different than others.

Keep in mind that these are only a few of the different ways to write The Curious Child. Have fun with your writing and try to break out of boxes every once in a while.

Miss Mitchell how are you doing?

I’m doing better, but they still want me here resting at the hospital for a tad bit longer, just until my vitals get back up to normal
