Main Character- Names

This lesson will help you learn about how you create the main character.

"I never saw a wild thing feel sorry for itself, a small bird will fall frozen dead from a bough without ever feeling sorry for itself."

^^That quote^^ has a wonderful meaning. I didn't even have to copy & paste, I know it by heart.

On my site, www.bulletshells.webs.com I plan to use it many times. Please visit if you have a spare moment.

The process of writing a main character is a lot more unique than the process of writing a supporting role. I am in the process of creating one of my characters in my story Unforetold, named Alice Darmogray. Alice, in the begining, I felt she wanted to be a more vulnerable character, because the name Alice sounds like "Lace" which is a thin, fragile, decorative cloth. So I felt Alice would need to be the same- thin, fragile, and decorative.

I began sketching Alice. at first she was bony looking, pale, and had cherry red hair. She had prominent light gray eyes and looked strictly.... vampiric.

That frustrated me, because Alice wasn't fitting the bill.

Here are some girl names that might appeal in the way I describe the to you, to help you name your character, based on thier personality.

Isabella- Izzy- electricity- energetic
