Okay. 😁 (Am I that thief character now or what? 😉) (Character in search of an author.) (The play, Six Characters in Search of an Author. In an old book of plays. At my elderly parents' elderly house.)

You may actually have a point there. 🤔 I remember I wanted to know did the person want us to add to the original description or what. 🤔 I mean I could have done that, no problem, but it was somewhat difficult to tell what did the original poster even want. 🤔 Or, what was the original intention...

I remember all three. Not really well, though, by now, because it's been a while. (Good heavens, I suddenly can recall my aunt and uncle watching that show in their apartment in New York, and myself watching it on Nick at Nite.) (They were an odd couple too. My aunt and uncle in New York, I...

Sorry. I know you're not the OP. Saw yours and went, gee, I could've done that days ago but I wasn't sure at the time if the OP wanted it done. Hope that clarifies things just a tad bit.

From my own smartphone. 📱 How is that stealing? 🤔 (Hmmm, speaking/writing of thievery and suchlike. 😉)

This is starting to remind me of Sailor Moon. 🌜🌛 (Assuming, of course, that the god's only amnesia is about being a god.)

Exactly. 😉 🌳📚🌳

Exactly.

This is an example of a slightly complex description of an interesting, detailed and layered character. You did not say that you wanted this done. I could have done a similar thing for you, or, you could have done one yourself unless you are not used to doing such things at all. It's usually...

That's apparently one of the best ways.

Get to know things about your character(s) as you go along. Don't just make things up or ask others to make things up. Is my advice, anyway. How do we know that she likes blue, dresses in blue, has a green-eyed black cat and/or a blue-eyed white cat, etc. Don't just throw all that information...

Agatha Christie once wrote that she still knew what colors would best suit the schoolgirls she used to imagine when she was a girl. Yes. I do that sort of thing too. I think many writers do. But it's generally better as background information than as an actual description of the characters. It...

She loves cats, unicorns and dragons, is probably going tell you more about her than what colors she dresses in. She loves reading and writing could tell you even more about her. I often envision characters liking to dress in a particular color or colors, but it's not necessarily at the top of...

I sort of noticed similar things but I didn't know if I should say them, so I didn't. 🤔 In the long run, though, I think it's best that they be said. I do have girl characters who (sometimes) dress in blue to match their eyes, but in most cases it's actually not their favorite color and it's not...

I know what that's like, actually. (In real life, too, sort of.) (Real online life, anyway.)
