LAUAN 403 Task 3- Appeal

This task was about creating a character- writing about their background, who they are etc and then designing what they look like- and I found it pretty hard! It was difficult to imagine essentially who someone is and what they look like when they only half exist in your mind. However I was grateful for this challenge because it gave me room to improve and I did find it enjoyable bringing an idea into life. Next time I'll definitely try and stick to my style from the get go and stay more concentrated rather than wishy washying around with ideas and wasting time.


Character Development Sheet

Lives in a strange circus land/world/time where everyone is a character from the circus. She goes to school, hangs out with her friends and fights with her brother like a normal teenager- apart from the fact that she's a jester.

Lazy teenager. Moody, typical late teen, unapproachable, grumpy, introverted. Bullied a little bit in school for being a jester which makes her quite mean and quite unfriendly. Often bad tempered, unconventionally cool. Very tomboy ish.

Family

Grumpy, uninterested, monotone, layed back, cynical. A little bit shy, easily embarrassed. Often sulking or scowling at something.
