forum Can you critique my character?

Hi Oniyuri, I just took a look at Nova's profile and here were some of my first thoughts:

• so far she seems a bit flat, mainly in that she doesn't seem to have a real motivation or goal and seeing as she's characterized as a goddess, it would be good to flesh out some type of ability or power (unless the universe she's set in doesn't use abilities)
• physical appearance is pretty well described
• as far as mannerisms go, give her some more distinguished quirks to bring her to life such as dominant hand, pet peeves, colloquial or formal speech, level of self-esteem, how she acts around strangers vs. friends and family, resting expression, etc.
• I super appreciate that you weren't afraid to give her a prejudice/flaw and I hope she uses that to grow or something :)

Good so far! Just keep adding more and more until you can picture her in your mind as if she were a friend. One of my favorite ways to flesh out a character is to look at the quirks/mannerisms/characteristics of people I know and give them to my characters as a way to make them seem more life like. Keep up the good work!
