Panic Jar time!

Sometimes we get stuck writing characters. A lot of times all you need to do is go back over your character's bio to see what isn't clicking.

B. provided an example of this using her character Rose from Buy Me A Rose (Wicked Fairytales)

Rose

1. Loves the color green

2. Feels more at home outdoors

3. Men wanted her to excel their political standing

4. Rose wore a rose petal necklace that looks like the rose in Beauty and the Beast

5. Rose wasn't sexually active until Prince Nicolai

6. She has a very close connection with the Earth

7. She knows how to combine plants to draw out people's pleasure

8. She was trained to be a warrior by a man she met at a young age.

9. Rose reacts to temperatures like plants.

10. Rose wears the style of clothes she does because it makes it easier to move

11. She was scared of vines as a child

12. Her wolf companion is her only true friend until she is betrothed.

13. Rose doesn't resent Snow for her close relationship with their mother.

14. Rose hates being covered in a lot of layers

15. Rose is a tomboy but likes pretty accessories

16. Rose wants to make Nicolai scream her name in pleasure

17. Feels she needs to constantly prove she is worthy of Nicolai

18. Wants to have babies but knows that War will prevent it for a while

19. Has powers still developing.

20. Spends time in the forest just to relax

Some of these things you will find out as you read her series and some you won't. But the fact that she took the time to create this background gives Rose a more realistic feel.
