This is a character I've been developing for a long time and I was hoping for feedback. At this point she seems very stereotypical and there's no plot twist in who she is. If you could give me feedback and suggestions on how to improve her I would really appreciate it.
Okay. Everything in the overview/looks categories are fine. In the nature section: a mannerism is a small action someone does habitually. So biting your nails, rubbing the back of your neck when flustered, etc. Those are mannerisms. What you have in mannerisms are more like flaws. Motivations are fine, and flaws are too as long as you add what you have in mannerisms to the flaws category. Prejudice is good. Talents and hobbies are a little one dimensional and weak. Give her more things that she enjoys/is good at.
In the social section: Religion is fine, but politics is confusing. If she rolls her eyes at politics, does that mean she doesn't care what type of leaders are elected/what type of laws are in place? She doesn't support equal rights or anything? No one's that passive, especially an adult like herself.
History: Her backstory is really, really interesting! However, you don't mention how she learned to fight. Just because she can use a dagger to kill an unarmed man who is taken by surprise, doesn't mean she "can fight like crazy". Also, is she still searching for her sister? If she cares nothing for herself, but she killed her father to protect her family, then I can't see her just abandoning her sister who she clearly wants to protect. Also, where is she now/who is she with? What are her current relationships like?
Notes: Loved the clarification in the note section. Really helped make her a real person in my mind. Good job.
Overall, lots of potential here!!! Good luck! (I also love that you have an African protagonist –that's really cool.)
