It’s so easy to describe characters with the three most boring traits ever—eye color, hair color/style, and height. But honestly, when you look at people, are those really the things you immediately notice and pay attention to?

Often the best way to describe characters is by figuring out what is most noticeable first and foremost about them.

• How attractive do you think you are? How attractive do other people think you are? What makes you attractive or not?
