So here's what my main character from LIBRARY JUMPERS looks like.
(redacted)
Stats:
Name: Gianna (Gia) Kearns
Age: 17
Ethnicity: Italian/Irish (she takes after her Italian mother)
Hair color: Brown
Eye color: Amber
Height: 5'5"
Build: Athletic
Hobbies: Kickboxing, Fencing, plays the violin, loves libraries and books
Gia is not a girly-girl type, she prefers sparring with boys instead of kissing them. She wears her hair in a ponytail most of the time and prefers a nude face. She prefers jeans and a tee to stupid whirly skirts. She can't live without her Rootbeer Lipsmacker. Her mother is deceased and she lives with her stepfather, Brian Kearns. She's never met her deadbeat biological father. Her best friends are Afton Williams and Nick D'Marco. She lives in the North End in Boston, Massachusetts.
So, who do I feel got real darn close to guessing Gia? I'd say pretty much everyone got something, or rather, several things correct about Gia. The closest was CreepyQueryGirl, aspiring_x, Steph Sinkhurn, and Tali Roland. Margo Berendsen's guess nailed Gia's personality but it's Afton who looks like Zoe Saldana.

ReplyDeleteYep, I was off by a longshot, but I like the character! Reminds me a little bit of myself.
