Beautiful People is for writers. Every month Cait and Sky post a list of ten questions for you to answer about your characters. It is designed to help you get to know your characters – their quirks, their personality, their flaws, and who they are. You can satiate your curiosity about this feature: HERE. Please join us!
This month's theme is APPEARANCE.
My answers are based on the title character in Hidden Magic: The Adventures Of Saffron Browne.

No accessories, unless you count the bandaids she usually has on her knees and feet from climbing trees and getting scraped up. Ha ha.
She wears adult small punk band T-shirts which are a bit big on her. They don't make them in children's sizes. Her favorite one is a vintage CBGB t-shirt she swiped from her mom.

Converse high tops.
9. Have they ever been bullied or shamed because of their looks? ✒
Not really. Her grandmother clucks her tongue about the constant bare feet and sloppy t-shirts, but other than that, no.

10. Are they happy with how they look? If they could change anything about their appearance, what would it be? ✒
Yes, in an "it doesn't matter" way. She sometimes wishes she were taller, but that is for practical matters like being able to reach things without having to call an adult, not for appearance's sake.
