You did a great job! I like that you said "A rose yet to bloom". I wanted to put something like that in mine, but I couldn't figure out what to say! I ended up with "A rose in full bloom", which doesn't really mean the same thing. And the to metaphors you used for motion really stood out to me too!

Thank you very much!!! "A rose yet to bloom" was my favorite. I knew that if I had to pick ONE metaphorical phrase to describe my character... that would most certainly be the one...

I like how when I read these character essence posts, I can put a picture together in my head of the character and what they are like. |

I love it, Shanai! That one was really in depth, and I love the way all of your metaphors were so different from each other, but meant the same thing (my personal issue is to not repeat myself, it's really hard). You have some really good images there, I love the one with St Elmo's fire. |

Thank you, Inesdar! That's perfectly all right! I am glad you got it now, I really like the essence you posted. I have to say, when I started I wasn't positive I knew what I was doing. Once I gained a little knowledge and confidence, her essence took off. I am hoping to get one done on some other characters soon, so we'll see how it goes!
