Time to go over these again with Essence and Dominic from "A Dozen Morning Glories" (coming out with it's intro June 15th all goes as planned)
Dominic Giang
Definitely not. He's 5'6.
that depends on what you deem perfect, he has a fair amount of muscle, and is very strong, but he doesn't have a fully defined six-pack or super buff arms.
Not really. he has a kind of a quirky sense of personality, but while he can be a bit awkward at times, it's not his resisting state,
middling. he's pretty confident but not obnoxious, and his confidence occasionally wavers.
Okay, he does go out of his way to give her very poetic compliments about how beautiful she is, but he's not unable to talk because of her beauty.
never. he has a big issue with people doing things like this. It's actually a sensitive topic in the book.
no. he does have his job somewhat through nepotism but since he just works at his family's convenience store I think we can excuse it? there are no employees that aren't his nuclear family.
never
nope
also no. he knows less, because she's awful at conversation and letting people get to know her.
well he gives her gifts on their dates, but that's pretty reasonable imo
yes. Because he asked her out the day he met her.
Now for Essence Walker
Yes, but since it's an Afro, it doesn't look quite as long as it is. When she braids it it reaches just to her shoulders.
Definitely not. This is also pretty central to her design, but she's almost literally black in complexion. Look up Nyakim Gatwech and that's basically Essence's complexion.
Okay yes. But Essence is extremely skinny and tall, with virtually no curves to be found.
no. but since she doesn't interact very well with people, or enjoy it, someone giving her the benefit of a doubt might assume she's shy.
yes. she's spent her whole life listening to her sister receive compliments for being so pretty why the ones she received always felt like an after thought. she deals with this by just being cold and apathetic rather than upset though.
no. she knows. he asked her out on day one.
nope. it's just him.
she dresses very well actually. my first FL who does.
no makeover coming, but she dresses well, though she doesn't particularly care about fashion.
nope, she works for a publishing company and he works at a convenience store.
she doesn't care either way really. she doesn't care about her career or care to try to find love, it just happens.
definitely not. she's read so many romances she thinks nothing will ever be able to impress her.
