A 'Kind of' Character Monday: Jesi

I know it's actually Friday, but hey. I have to get back to doing these. I'm going to try something new today. . . I'm going to put my charrie into a setting, and then I'm going to plop down with her and, well, talk I suppose. :)

Setting: A small park. It is late autumn so it's cold, and not that many people out. It is later in the day, about an hour or so before sunset, so it's getting dark. Jesi (I really need to change her name, it doesn't fit her properly. . . <.< ) is sitting on a park bench wrapped up in a thick woolen cardigan and a floppy hat.

Me: *walks over and sits down* Hey Jesi.

Jesi: *looks up from studying her lap* Hey.

Me: So. . . What do you think?

Jesi: WHAT DO I THINK? Pray tell me more. *glare*

Me: What do you think. . . Of the weather? *nervous smile*

Jesi: *rolls eyes* It's cold. The trees are pretty. *takes a deep breath* It's peaceful. *small smile*

Me: Okay, that's what I'd hope you'd think. *looks down at notebook* What do you think of the name Alessa?

Jesi: I hate it. Why?

Me: *clears throat* No reason. *straightest face* What about Kallie?

Jesi: It's better than Alessa. Why?

Me: *nervously clears throat* I'm looking for a better name for you. Jesi doesn't really fit. . .

Jesi: Oh no. I'm just going to be like so many other charries, and have their names changed again and again. You've already changed my basic storyline multiple times. Now my name?

Me: I detest the name Jesi. . . It's gender neutral, and I hate that kind of name. . . I might want to change the spelling of Kallie though. . .

Jesi: I said no.

Me: But Kallie fits you ten times better!

Jesi: Am I keeping anything?

Me: You're keeping your middle name. Kallie Rose, now THAT sounds pretty! *big grin* It's final. You're now Kallie.

Kallie: O.O

Latest Synopsis

After working really hard by myself to get everything written just right for my 'final' synopsis, I ended up talking it through with my mom and this is the result:

When the Zoic Betterment Program (ZBP) came and took Jesi Forbes, they turned her world upside down. The ZBP killed her family, her friends, and took her freedom. Now, newly trained as an elite bodyguard, she is willing to do anything in her power to bring the program down. With the future shrouded in shadow, will she succeed against all odds? Or will she become, just like Doctor Aceti and Mr. Atkins, an annihilator of her own kind?

Now I'm hoping to pick up the pace and get writing this next month or so. (That is, if I'm not bogged down with life. . . )

*blows trumpets* Introducing a new title!

After going through the first twenty lesson for OYAN, I have decided that Breaking Free is not a very good title at all for Jesi's story. Jesi really doesn't 'break free' from anything.



*drum roll* The new title is. . .




. . .





. . .




. . .




Shadow Wings



The reason I chose this name is because Jesi's future is very uncertain (hence shadow), and she learns to become more or less a leader (hence wings). :) I am very happy with the title, it gives me so much plot bunnehs that I can add to it, and it perfectly fits Jesi's raven form.

Character Mondays: Jesi

Yeah. . . I really need to work on her. Again. >.< Okay.

Me: Jesi, this time I'm going to give you situations and you'll tell me what you'd do. *nod*

Jesi: Okay. O.o

Me: What would you do if you where in a car that was going super fast with some person and that person suddenly died.

Jesi: What kind of situation is that? Um, I'd probably try to take over the wheel and slow it down in some way.

Me: What if there was a cliff ahead with a sharp turn, and you the brake pedal isn't working?

Jesi: You want to kill me. I'd pray that I live, and try to make the turn. O.O

Me: What if-

Jesi: O.O That's enough. Goodbye everyone! :D *leaves*

Me: I was going to ask her what she'd do if she made it. . . Oh well. Thanks for reading! :D

Character Mondays: Jesi (and Rea)

Sadly, life has taken a tole on things, and I haven't gotten around to this for three weeks. I'm super super sorry. . . Okay, I need to work on my MC Jesi, so I'll interview her again tonight.

Me: Okay Jesi, I'm going off a list here today. Do you have any bad habits?

Jesi: Um, I like to play with my hair.

Rea: She only does that when she's nervous or else needs to be comforted.

Me: Rea! How'd you get in here! Okay, to settle any confusion, Rea is Jesi's mom. Um, I suppose as you're her mom, you can sit in on this one, but don't do that again!

Rea: All right sweetie, but I am her mother and I will use the authority I have over her to become her lawyer if need be.

Me: *whispered* Okay, she has no idea. . . *Stops whispering* Okay Jesi, has anything scared you enough to keep you up at night?

Jesi: I'd probably say the night dad threatened me to stay away from these kids or else he'd bring me to the doctors. . . Doctors are scary.

Rea: Well honey, we had our reasons to make you afraid. I'm sorry it kept you awake at night though.

Me: Rea. . .

Rea: Sorry sweetie. Continue.

Me: Jesi, what do you think is your worst quality or attribute?

Jesi: I'm short.

Me: Seriously? Come on.

Jesi: Okay. . . Mom says I don't talk enough. I'm not good with words, I don't like talking.

Rea: Unless you're practicing an accent. Then you go nuts about talking about nothing at all. *rolls eyes*

Jesi: Mom. . .

Me: *smirk* Okay, last one. Do you have any extended family?

Jesi: I don't know. . . Mom?

Rea: I cannot say at the moment. I'm sorry, but I cannot say.

Me: Okay. This is kind of awkward, so, that's it for now. Goodnight folks!

Character Mondays!

To keep me going on my blog (of which I am  very new at. -_-) I am now creating Character Mondays! Every Monday I will post via a character. They can talk with other characters, they can talk with me, they can even answer questions if anyone reading this asks any. Let the adventures begin.

This week is Jesi! I'll start by asking her five basic questions about herself.

Jesi: Hi.

Me: Well, introduce yourself.

Jesi: You just did. I said hi.

Me: Okay. . . So, what's your favorite color?

Jesi: Blue. Do I have to do this?

Me: Yes. What is your favorite animal?

Jesi: Scottish Terriers. Why do I have to do this?

Me: Because I have to learn more about you. What is your favorite food?

Jesi: Baked Potatoe Buffet. You thought me up, why do you have to learn more about me?

Me: Because I can't write a good story with a puppet, now please no more questions! What is your favorite season?

Jesi: Spring, because it's fresh and gooey and wet.

Me: . . . What is your favorite gem stone?

Jesi: Tigers eye, because I like them. Are we done?

Me:. . . Yes.
