Describing the girl

*I am not completely happy with this as a stand alone or as a part of the bigger piece as it stands but it helps I hope maybe it will become part of the story in the end in fragment here and there*


She stands in the middle of everything on the play ground, her hands on her hips head cocked to onside. She is watching it all, soaking it up, and considering her options. She will choose what she can do. Her chubby cheeks and bright blue eyes show more thought than your average three-and-a-half-year-old.

Her wispy hair pokes out from the hack of her pink fleece hat in a soft outward light brown curl. Bangs barely poke out of the front. The hat fastens under her chin. She is wearing a nubby dark bLue and Green fleece coat and pink boots the day is warm and dry enough though to skip the snow pants so you can see her white and Blue striped leggings and her blue and white striped dress.

A huge smile crosses her face and she runs for the two boys on the sleek wooden play structure. She swiftly climbs up and joins her friends chatting away with ease.

Quite time in the classroom she is sitting at a table with a book slowly examining each page as she quietly flips through it. Under her chair her legs are swinging indication that much more than one can guess. Unlike her class mates she enjoys this book time and often does this while thy nap. This often lead to time spent with her teacher

She can write and spell he name. She has a natural curiosity that has her examining things longer than most preschoolers. Despite this curiosity she would rather explore and learn something for her self than ask a lot of questions of others. She is a reserved but happy child.

Her favorite friends are her parents she would rather be with them than any one else but has very little separation anxiety. She trusts that they will always come back. Only very new situations unnerve her. She loves to laugh and make her parents laugh.

Her quick mind is aided by the uncluttered nature of minds her age. She is quick to notice things and pick up on a mood. She understands the concepts of real and imaginary she know that Sesame Street is not real and that these are only actors and puppets. No-one ever told her she figured it out instinctively.

  1. I agree with your disclaimer: this is not a stand alone piece. In fragments, it will be great to flush out her character.
