Personally I hate the Imperial measuring system. Metric makes much more sense, so feel free to use meters, centimeter and kilograms. It's only because I have made so many character designs over the years and have had to convert units so often that I've started getting a bit of a feeling for it.Hehe, I wanted to try a bit of a childish character, even though I'll try for Trini to be more independent, I'm not attempting to create a cry baby or any character that would need constant attention, since she's all about stealing, she knows how to manage herself in big cities or crowds. Even though, if it's more comfortable for you, I can always come up with a more mature character (and by the way, I'm not as young as Trini. Of course, I'm young and all but I'm not twelve ).
About the heights and stuff, I always have issues with pounds and feet since I'm more used to meters and kilograms Anyways, I'll try converting them this time.
About the scare stuff... I was asking myself the same thing, but I can't actually see her killing someone, mostly because my interpretation of Trini isn't as someone evil. I feel like if I made her kill someone she would end up with a trauma and become a helpless angsty Sue and that's definately something I don't want for her. On the other hand, maybe I could add some injured people on her history, maybe not serious ones but enough to start a commotion. If it's okay, I'd like to add that.
And you are indeed right, my first language is actually spanish, therefore it's often hard to find the exact word to use in every ocasion. I am constantly trying to expand my vocabulary, but it's somwhat hard to learn in which context to use each word when they aren't commonly used in the society I live in. I have few oportunities to keep long english conversations with people, these reduced to my english class and, eventually, talking to any or another exchange student. When it comes to picking words I usually have to draw on Google Translator, which I like to use as little as possible since... well, it has its flaws.
But yeah, I've noticed a lot of development in my english since I first entered Charms and I'm really grateful with this comunity. Hopefully, I'll be able to experience what living in an actual english speaking country feels like soon and that would be really great. So yeah, I'll just work hard on my english someday so maybe someday I could be as skilled as people around here when it comes to english
Oh, and by the way, the picture is really similar to what I imagine of Trini, even though I think I'll try to make a drawing of her soon!
Go ahead and add a little drama to Trini's backstory if you want. A few accidental injuries will make scare her enough to be extra careful, but not enough to be traumatized.
And you're a Spanish speaker! That's awesome, especially since Salem's native language is supposed to be Spanish, but I don't speak a single word.
The original Salem I mean, not this Gijinka. Would it be alright if I sometimes asked your for a little bit of Spanish assistance?
And I just noticed something, this post you just typed was nearly flawless English, a lot better than how you wrote the character bio at least. Very interesting. Perhaps you're trying too hard?
"It's good to be the king."Salem sure gets around in this universe
*Twirls moustage*
But yeah, Salem's a mythical prince now, instead of a primitive tribeling from a lost island.
Diana sighed and began setting her bags down against the front wall of another shop—a jewelry shop by the looks of it.
Chrocey you amazing writer you, I applaud your building in hooks for other characters to jump right into. Very well done.She hadn’t thought to take her other bags with her to change, since she would only have been a few minutes. Additionally, this wasn’t Deliquent Town. From the stories she heard, thieves weren’t as much of a problem here.
Of course the entry in it's entirety was great. Diana's story is going to be a lot of fun to follow. I am glad you joined us for this.
