What are they most uncomfortable wearing? Why is that?What are they most comfortable wearing?: Her dad's shirts and jackets with jeans are the most comfortable things because she has very long arms and legs. She gained that from her dad...... She hates wearing anything short, like shorts, skirts that are shorter than tea-length, bikinis, short-sleeved dresses, etc. That is also mostly because she is a long-limbed person, but also because she is very active about pushing modesty.

INTERNAL ATTRIBUTES

What is your character's goal? What are they trying to achieve?: She is trying to figure out if her friendship with her friend, Stella Jackson, is toxic. Her goal is to either fix their friendship or at least get it a good point.

What is their internal conflict?: She doesn't want to upset her very best friend, but she really wants to say how she really feels.

What is their external conflict?: Her other friend, Rin Rainn, is trying to convince her to cut off the friendship quickly, and it is causing a rift among the three girls.

If there is a romance planned, what is your character’s romantic conflict?: There is this boy named Hunter in her school who she's liked since she was six years old, and her feelings have only grown. She's never admitted it and tries to avoid the topic, and somehow, this caused Harry, Stella's twin brother, to think that Josie liked him. Now, Josie can't decide if she wants to explain the truth to Hunter and Harry, or just lie to Harry so he won't feel hurt.

What makes your character likeable to other characters?: She talks A LOT, and she seems super happy and kind. She seems super innocent, but not in a dumb way.

Interviewing my character
Me: It's very nice to meet you, Ms. Carter.

Josie: You can call me Josie... I mean, Ms. Carter or Josephine is fine, but almost everyone calls me Josie. It's really fine to call me something else, though.

Me: Ok, Josie.... Is there anything you'd like to say about yourself?

Josie: Um...ok.... I'm fourteen and I like cheese... And bread... And food in general... I mean, there is food I don't like but......-

Me: You don't have to explain. So, what in life is most important to you?

Josie: My younger brother, Jason. He is a funny, sweet, and lovable boy, and he is so short.

Me: Why is he most important?

Josie: I don't really know..... He's my best friend.......He's always there for me, but he also teases me when I'm not in those moods. And he teases me when I talk about my feelings. Anyway, he's there for me.

Me: Ah. What is the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you?

Josie: Don't even ask that question. I can't decide. I've done sooooooooooooo many embarrassing things.

Me: How did these things affect you?

Josie: They made me........embarrassed.

Me: Any other ways?
