Describing my character features

Wow… Just call me a slacker! It’s been a couple of weeks since my last post. So after the last couple of classes I’ve been working on a lot of character studies and different environments. But first I really needed to understand the physical traits and personality characteristics of the environments and the characters themselves. In this post I will list off the features of the three main characters that I am focusing on in my story.
