Body and Appearance

[circumitus]

✘ Describe the character's height and build. Is she heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
→ Muscular and athletic.

✘ How old is she?
→ She appears as someone in her late-20s/early-30s.

✘ Describe her posture. Does she carry herself well or does she slouch?
→ Rey typically carries an unreadable body language about her, and she doesn't even need to make a conscious effort to hide this fact. She normally keeps a ridged posture always, all the time, no matter what situation she's in, or how "relaxed" or drunk or high she is. She's described as standing "like a soldier at attention" constantly, because it's how she was essentially programmed to be. She will attempt to mimic certain habits of other people, like she copied the way Ariadne shrugs from one of their earlier meetings. She's also developed a penchant for rubbing her own shoulder from her brother, just out of habit as opposed to actually needing to. She just hasn't really copied anyone's ability to smile that much yet.

→ Rey has developed certain bad habits, though. The biggest one is chewing. She'll chew on her lip, and sometimes even on her own fingers. Not her nails, her actual fingers. It's not very pretty. She may even start chewing her lip to the point where she's cut it open with her teeth.

→ She does not do wild gestures all that much, but she does have a classic case of a staring problem. Feel like someone's watching you? It's probably Rey. It's not that she doesn't trust you, it's that... she probably doesn't trust you! :)

✘ How is her health? Is she fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?


✘ How does she move? Is she clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?

✘ How attractive is this character physically? How does she perceive herself in the mirror?

✘ Describe her complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
She has a golden peach complexion, slightly tanned.
The scars on her face are deliberate rather than accidental, though one may or may not be perceptive enough to notice right off the bat. On her left cheek: A cross about an inch under her eye, and another horizontal that comes up from under her chin. On her right cheek: A diagonal scar a couple inches below her eye, across the side of her forehead, and another vertical one coming up from her jaw.

✘ Describe her hair: color, texture, style.
Mahogany brown with some streaks of gray that may not be noticeable at first glance. You'd really have to get a good look up close.

✘ What color are her eyes?
Forest green.

✘ Does the character have any other noteworthy features?

✘ What are her chief tension centers?

✘ What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does she have six of the same suit?

✘ Do her clothes fit well? Does she seem comfortable in them?

✘ Does she dress the same on the job as she does in her free time? If not, what are the differences?

✘ You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
