Character Sketch

"In your writing journal, build on the assignment that we did in class...write a character sketch for a protagonist (main character) that you have in mind for a future work of fiction. Remember to make the character memorable, providing as many clear details about him or her as possible."

Heather Kressman, 19, works at Lindy’s Bookstore downtown. Loves dolphins and Heath Bars, is very bold, and is passionate about protecting the enviroment. Is trying to teach herself how to speak French from a book entitled “Fluent French the Fast and Easy Way,” but as of yet couldn’t conjugate a verb to save an endangered polar bear. She’s into fashion, but has her own funky-casual style. For example, today she’s wearing a red t-shirt that reads “ASK ME ABOUT BEING A DYKE,” a pair of black cargo pants, and Old Navy flip-flops. She always carries a tan canvas tote instead of a purse. Heather’s rather sensitive about her middle name, Alfred, which her father gave her in remembrance of his (late) favorite brother. Heather’s dream is to open up her own enviromentally friendly candy store. That, and get a girlfriend. But neither of those seems to be happening very soon. Oh well. There’s always Greenpeace.
