The background-story I had in mind is about the rebirth of
an elemental sage in a war-ridden land. The character used to be an ordinary
girl, until she was ‘cursed’ to look different from other people, with a pale
white skin, black hair and black eyes. Ashamed of her new appearance she flees her
city of residence. Alone in the forest, she discovers she has strange magical
abilities, and figures that just maybe this wasn’t a curse, but a blessing. She
is a reincarnation of an ancient legend, reborn to bring back peace.
The personality traits my classmates gave my character were
happy, energetic, courageous, sassy, connected to nature, warrior, open, good
at heart, pretty, active and elfish. These are mostly the characteristics I had
in mind. She is feminine, but not a typical ‘Disney-princess’.
