She seems like a cool outline for a character, but you gotta flesh her out, make her a real person. She needs a personality, things like mannerisms (how does she walk, does she fidget, is she spacey, what is her dominant hand, does she have tics, is she curious, is she observant, etc). This is what makes a character a believable, tangible thing. Treat her as if she's a real life friend and you're just describing her. Close your eyes and picture her in your mind's eye: what would she order at a restaurant, does she sleep on her back, does she take hot showers, what are her pet peeves, does she have phobias. Also, consider why she is the way she is: why does she lie out of habit; why does she not trust anyone; why was she trained as an assassin. Even mundane little things that seem obvious are crucial in building a well-rounded character. Keep writing!

@painters_tape Thanks for checking out my character. With all the things you mentioned to write down about her, I find that I already know them and that I have a really clear vision of her, I just don't know how to explain some of the things and how to fill in the blanks using Notebook.ai. And again, thank you for reading about her, I really appreciate it.
