I have a fantasy world idea but I need to place some interesting characters in it. I plan to write about a religious war from the point of view of some people living through it (not necessarily fighting in it or leading it but living through and around it). Here's what I have so far on one of the main characters. Please help me develop her!

Basics
Name: Tristian Desset
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Race: Human. Elecian (lives in Elecia).
Religion: Pick and choose Trycian (Tricians worship electricity in its natural forms e.g. lightning)
Profession: Works at a clothing factory

Appearance
Physical Appearance: Tristian has thick, wavy black hair down to her shoulders. She sometimes curls it. She has big brown eyes, a smallish nose, full lips and a small girlish chin. She is shorter than average for a woman, but quite full of figure. She has a small waist, but not small enough to suit her.
Typical Clothes: Tristian generally wears a simple white shirt and grey skirt with grey slip on shoes. This is when she can afford nothing more fashionable.

Personality
Sygnificant Traits:
- Selfish
- Hot-headed
- Opinionated
- Rebellious
- Mooch
- Easily flattered
- Insecure -> body conscious
Likes:
- Chicken salads. Particularly of her sister’s make.
- Soup. Particularly of her sister’s make.
- Fish (to eat)
- Compliments (particularly cheesy clever ones)
- Snowy days
- Tall men
- Curly hair
- Jogging alone on a misty morning
- Swimming
- Knowing (if not wearing) the current fashions
Dislikes:
- Rain (and standing in it for church ceremonies)
- Hot days (smelly people, flies everywhere – yuck)
- Fattening dishes
- Lasagne
- Animals
- Insects
- Being in church
- Being told what to do
- Sewing at the clothing factory
- Cooking
Relationships:
- She loves her identical twin sister Chrissa (her only family), but has a funny way of showing it (not showing it much at all). She may be occasionally cruel to her sister, but generally sticks up for her.
- She loves her man, Darrat, but he is engaged to another woman. She longs for him to be hers.
- Hates Darrat’s fiancée Jeanna with a passion.
- She is curious about the ways of an atheist foreigner in town
Bio:
Tristian is an identical twin. Her sister Chrissa is her only family as her parents both died in the last five years. As a child Tristian was pushy, easily angered and stubborn. She tended to get into fights with other children and became a good liar. Little has changed. She now lives with her sister, who cooks for her and cleans the house etc.
She met Darrat three months ago when he came over to her house to fix the leg of a chair (he's a carpenter) and they started talking. They found they both had stories about their uptight, insufferably organised, significant others (her sister, his fiancée) and hit it off right away. They have since been meeting secretly around town, and in the woods nearby.
Tristian is a Trycian, which means she worships lightning and such. This generally entails standing out in a thunderstorm and chanting at the sky, and attending church every week. Tristian is impatient with church and barely suffers the sermons. She sometimes skips church and goes for a jog or a swim. She would not stand in the rain either, if it weren't for her zealous sister.
Recently a man has come to the small town in which Tristian lives. He has come across the border from Lechion, and actively preaches against the church's teachings. Tristian is curious about his teachings, but her curiosity will soon get her into trouble.

I’ll add more when I can. And yes, I know I write about twins too often, but the possibilities with these twins are just too juicy to pass up.
Sooo sorry for the late post! I just realized that you posted this the day I had surgery. I'll look it over and get back to you.

So if I were to post some characters, could I get advice on their design and development because I feel like I may be too new to the guild to ask for help.
Wow! I am terribly sorry for such a late reply! If you are still needing help, post away!



It is fine. I don't really remember the character I needed and I went offline for a long time.
