[Ed. note: I am participating in National Novel Writing Month throughout the month of November. I have been doing some preliminary exercises in the form of character sketches that have been taking up time I would otherwise be writing here. So I've decided to post them. I have been using the "character questionnaires" available at the out_lines Livejournal community.]
1. Your Name
Lenore Maeve Bratten
Mom had a Poe fetish.
2. Your age
27 years old
3. Describe yourself
I'm tall, for a girl. About 6'1", to be exact.
Thin and wiry, I guess. What my mom calls "gangly". Shoulder-length dark red hair (dyed).
Blue eyes that don't see so hot. I dress like a boy, more often than not.
4. Describe your mate (if applicable)
Currently, I'm going solo. I just got out of a bad relationship, and I'm not quite ready to even dip my toes in the water, much less get involved.
5. Where (and when) do you live?
I live in a studio apartment on Telegraph Avenue in Oakland, California. It's currently 2004.
6. What's your favourite sweet? (It is so a basic!)
I like dulce du leche flavored ice cream, and fudge.
