There are two bullies in my story, and only one is blonde and thin. I actually find that darker-haired characters are normally antagonists, while protagonists are nearly always blonde. On the other hand, I do see that there is a "mean girl" stereotype that includes thin blondes.

It seems like...Scarlet sounds like a fun person. :)<br />It seems like the thin blonde one is always the bully, I've noticed in my reading. I don't know where that stereotype came from, or if its true or not, but it's kind of a bummer for people with blonde hair+are embarassingly skinny.<br />And I relate to Ginger and drawing so much.

I have plans for Brenda and Ben, you'll soon see that there IS more to the antagonists of this story.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13380374242998192632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7765087834038307799.post-11398916851021546812016-01-27T16:30:29.100-08:002016-01-27T16:30:29.100-08:00I really like this!

I love how you did Ginger and Scarlet's banter - it sounds like an actual conversation two people might have, which can be hard to achieve in dialogue.<br />Something I'd be looking for in the next part would be something to differentiate Brenda from Ben. Right now, it feels like they fill basically the same role in the story - a bully whose only purpose in the story is to be mean. I'd love to see something that would show how Brenda is different from Ben - some more dimensions to her character, what she likes to do, if she has any siblings, etc. Maybe have her contribute an interesting plot twist? Just something to make her a little //more// than Ben was, so they don't have the exact same role in the story.<br /><br />- Ellie<br />http://ontheothersideofrealitynew.blogspot.comEleanorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016450998401859766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7765087834038307799.post-79082432859562787972016-01-27T13:34:04.428-08:002016-01-27T13:34:04.428-08:00I like it!
