Post subject:  Ciarra's Essence

Here's an essence I did for a new character, Ciarra:

Mind...{Turmoil...[......(A thunderstorm just beginning)
..............................(An abused child)]}
.........{Clarity....[......(A polluted river: once it was clear, but now it is dirty and brown.)]}
.........{Depth.....[......(A spring)
...............................(A really good book: there is always something new to discover)]}
.........{Thoughts..[Despair...(Winter at Valley Forge)
...............................(A day without sunshine)]
.......................[Hope...(The book of Isaiah)
...............................(The chirping of birds in the morning)
...............................(A rainbow against dark clouds)]}

Soul...{Enduring...[.....(The promise of a true friend)
..............................(The faith of Job)]}
........{Light........[.....(Music played flawlessly)
..............................(Motherly compassion and kindness)
..............................(A bright candle in a dark room)]}
........{Distress....[.....(A dying flame)
..............................(Fire without oxygen)]}

Spirit...{Beauty.....[Kindness...(A prayer for an enemy)
........................[Gentleness..(Moonlight Sonata)]}
.........{Fear.......[.......(Hiding in the shadows)
................................(Darkness closing in around her)]

Body...{Eyes.......[Color..(A brewing thunderstorm)
..................................(Silvery Grey)]
........................[Sadness...(Long suffering)
.......................................(Years of abuse)
........................[Caution...(Remembrance)]
........................[Depth.....(A bottomless pit)
......................................(The horizon: it seems close, but you can never get there)]}
..........{Hair.......[Color...(A raven)
..................................(The midnight sky)]
..........{Motion...[Fluidity...(A mountain stream)]
.......................[Speed....(An Arabian horse)]

What do y'all think?

I really like all the Biblical references you did. It really gives a lot of depth to it!

Great job Abby!
I like the thunderstorm references.
Thunderstorms are one of my favorites in God's creation.
(If I didn't have a full time job as a mom of four I'd be a storm chaser!)

I think this is my favorite line:
Spirit...{Beauty.....[Kindness...(A prayer for an enemy)
THAT'S a beautiful spirit!

I also think the hope of the chirping birds in the morning is picturesque.

She sounds like such a mixture of hope and despair.
Very conflicted. :) Not so good in real life,
but great for a main character!

Thanks everyone!

A mixture of hope and despair is what is was going for, White Raven! It does make an interesting character. :)

I think it is finished now (even though it took a while). I need to post it.
