I've got another character -- she's from a "boy goes to a magical boarding school" story, which, contrary to popular belief, was an archetype LONG before JKR even touched it.
I have her here rather than the main character (though when he's otherwise engaged, her POV is the default to switch to) because I can draw the main character to my satisfaction, yet her hair makes her very hard to draw, so I'd like to see someone else's take on it that I can base my version on. If you wanna know about/draw any of the other characters in the story, feel free to PM me.
So, here she is:
Her full name is Jocelyn Amanda Black (I may change her last name, as it reminds people of Sirius Black from HP), but she likes to go by Joey (take the c, l, and n out of Jocelyn and you get Joey). As of the first story in the series, she is thirteen, and she is a human (it's actually more important than you might think, as the big conflict of the story concerns humans, and most characters in this story are NOT human.)
First, her physical description: Joey is tall, yet solidly built; she has an athletic body, and is a bit lacking in the feminine department. She has a pleasantly-shaped face, however, and wide, ice blue eyes that betray her every emotion. She wears large, round glasses that would make one think she was a nerd if it weren't for her athletic build. Her hair is jet-black with a thick, substantial body to it, waist-long, and intensely curly; it usually moves as a whole when it moves at all, and when wet, it almost goes down to her knees. She is pale and freckly most of the time, her freckles fading in the winter, but tanned in the summer, due to all her time outside. She'd actually be quite pretty if it weren't for her untamed hair.
Next, clothes: Joey's got two "outfits", her school uniform and what she usually wears. Her school uniform consists of a white tunic, a dark purple ankle-length skirt, a knee-length jacket with robe-like sleeves and big pockets on the thighs, and a dark green ribbon-like length of cloth about her waist, tied at the right side, for a belt. Since Joey's hair is past her elbows, she must also wear two bands in it; one at the base of her ears, and one six inches from the end of her hair. Both bands are dark green.
When Joey is out of her school uniform, she doesn't bother with trying to tame her hair, and just lets it down. She usually wears T-shirts with sassy or sarcastic sayings, such as "If I throw a stick, will you go away?", and jeans. She always wear tennis shoes.
Personality: Joey always feels all her emotions to an extreme extent. She's never melancholy, she's bawling her eyes out. She's never content, she's hyper. She's never annoyed, she's enraged. She is a tomboy, and is better at sports than a lot of the boys at her school are, even when wearing her skirt -- she's the kind of person, when you hear people talking about her using her name and not using any gender-specific pronouns, that you think she is a boy. She has a temper and lives for the moment; she almost never plans ahead, and relies on her instincts, not thinking before she thinks or acts -- it makes her a terrible liar, and gets her in a lot of trouble. She also doesn't like "boring" things, like books or strategy games like chess, though she is bright -- not extremely so, but it usually manifests with her noticing tiny, yet important things, and remembering them. She likes simple pleasures, like loud music, good food, and a warm fire, but can be particular about some things. She cares a lot about her friends, and would go to the ends of the earth for them; yet she is the kind of person that is remembered kindly by her friends and terribly by her enemies, for that is how she treats them. However, if you don't mess with her, her beliefs, or her friends, she'll mostly leave you alone.
