How do i make a character based off one?
Here some questions you could ask yourself if you need help :))
who would say this?
Who would write this down in a journal?
Who would think about this?
Who would talk like this?
Is this being written down about the person?
If you were to research a creature- would you find this in a book?
Is this a spell? Belonging to a witch?
Still not helping?
Well, what does the poem talk about?
Does it mention a feeling? A color? A place- or even a time? An animal or object?
Try basing your character off those things!
There is no right or wrong designs!
