Appearance

There is only one rule when it comes to your (flawless) character's appearance, and that is, that everything has to be enhanced into brilliance. Forget the ginger, pale freckled nightmare you had stored in a notebook, write yourself a brand new girl with blazing flame-coloured hair and rosy cheeks. A black haired, pasty faced emo? Not a CHANCE! Meet long, midnight-black, curly-haired Goth-girl! And don't you dare pull out a blonde! If she has not got honey-gold or sunshine-coloured hair (apparently you're also allowed to make up colours just to suit your (flawless) character!), you won't get anywhere.

Now that we have gotten passed the hair (brunettes are not suggestible as they are dull and unoriginal (say WHAT?) however, if you have the undying urge to make your (flawless) character brown-haired, add something unique such as bronze tips or blonde streaks (or giraffe patterns and quotes from Einstein)) we can now continue to the eyes.

Instead of green, brown, blue or grey, consider 'glass-like green', 'beige-gold', 'electric blue', 'sky blue', 'light blue', 'almost black', 'almost white'. No matter how unusual the eye colour you can make it seem pretty by adding helpful adjectives such as 'fascinatingly beautiful', 'pretty but unusual' and other combinations of the kind.

Don't forget that your character must have impossibly long eyelashes and very high cheek bones.

The mouth and nose can be described in whatever way you deem appropriate, the chin also, and after the long neck, perfect body and slim long legs, your pretty much fit for your (flawless) characters clothes. (*long drawn sigh* Yay?)

Well, children, I know what you are thinking. You're thinking, 'these clothes must be practical and normal for this universe, they must be logically possible and fit my character's taste'. WRONG!

You see, your (flawless) character is SPECIAL. She may wear any clothes she likes and still be perfectly suited to any task, and, being your character, she may have, say, a medieval dress in the modern world, or, as a self-insert, a tiny tank top and skirt in Alagaesia. Alternatively, she may have been born there, in which case she may wear leather and leggings.

As to your (flawless) character's taste, isn't she YOUR (flawless) character? Therefore, she has your taste, and will like anything you do.

These clothes must now be described extensively, and, of course, demonstrate your (flawless) character's impeccable looks, like so:

'Raven leaned at her bedroom window, sighing delicately, her tight-fitting leggings stretching as she did, demonstrating her long, pale legs as she tugged at the hem of her black-red T-shirt, which accentuated her perfect curves nicely (of course), and flipped her raven-black hair (Then opened her eyes),basking in the morning light, trying to convince herself that nothing was amiss.'

OR

'Magpie sat in a tree, staring at her perfect reflection, wishing she were less pretty and staring some more at her leather-clad clothes as her sooty hair, after which she had been named (EBONY SYNDROME ALERT!), whistled in the wind, and she sat perfectly (un)-poised, waiting for (Jam:death? CouldBe: agonizing torture?) Something. (Bit of a let-down.)'

You see now? Now, in these two examples, there were not enough adjectives, but we will give you more detailed instructions about description, later on in the book.

Couldbe: *groaning and rubbing stomach* JAm! Are we doooooone? I still havn't had my tea break. And theres SOOOOO much left to do!
JAm: Couldbe, you have to hold THROUGH! Stop groaning! Otherwhilst slave-drive dud will whip you! Or stab you! Or whatever else!
Couldbe: I don't care!
JAm: NO! CouldBe, you mustn't give up! YOU MUSTN'T! If YOU, the closest thing to an optimist out of the two of us, give up, what hope in hell do I have?
CouldBe: You're right I suppose…alright *smiles* I'm good!

Step right up! Yes, you sir, you madam, stop right there! Come on, don't be shy! There we go. Would you like a chance to win a giant teddy bear? I BET you would! All you have to do to enter, is press the blue button below, type a few good or bad words about how we did this chapter, and then tell us the worst Mary-sue name you have ever heard (or leave that bit out and just review, but you won't have even a slither of a chance of getting the Teddy, *scary voice:* and YOU KNOW that you want the TEDDY!)
