Game: How Well Do You Know Your MC?

[Blind Writer]

Okay, I just got this idea for a fun and thought provoking (maybe that's over shooting it, but don't argue with me) game we can play.

How Well Do You Know Your MC?

Here's how it works. Ill post a random question--anything from "What's your MC's favorite color?" to "How old was your MC when they had the birds and bees talk with Mommy and Daddy?"--and the next person to post will answer and ask another question.

Please post our MC's name before the answer, as in the following example:

What's your MC's favorite color?

Bianca: Green

What's Your MC's pets name?

Casey: She has no pets.


Get it? Got it? Good!

First Question!!!!

Sophur: Darryn, her boyfriend-turned-almost-enemies-sorta.

How many hours a day does your character spend looking in the mirror?

Write depressing, and quite horrible, poetry. Or chill. She's quite good at zoning out for hours to take her mind off things. She's also a ponderer who thinks about her situation constantly.

What is your MC look like?

 

[wandergirl]

In Grace's own words:
My childhood softness had long since thawed into an skinny awkwardness, as if my fourteen-year-old self had been nailed together from colt legs and collarbones. My hair was the yellowy tan of second-hand oak furniture. I french-braided it every morning to ward off the wind, but pieces always broke free and whipped my face like Medusa coils.

What animal is your MC most like and why?
