I was sitting around thinking and I realized that I'm stuck because I want to portray a character exactly how I see them in my head. I realized how crucial character introductions are. Normally, any description that comes after the introduction simply modifies the initial image -- well for me, anyway.
I remember reading books where the description of a character makes me picture, say, a burly fighter, and then I read that he's actually quite skinny later in the book. While this will register, my mind will always go back to picturing what I originally thought the character looked like XD
So anyway, that got me thinking, what's the most interesting character introduction you've ever read?
Mine would be Iorek Byrnison from Northern Lights.
I guess it must be because he's a drinking bear, and I'd never seen anything like it before.
