Your abuela is so tiny! Mine was 5'3
Yeah! let short people have the spot light! my shortest human ML is 4'1. my shortest human female character is 3'9.
My FL has no sense of practicality. Well, she kind of does because it's difficult to drive if she isn't wearing heels lol, or go shopping at the grocery store. But considering how much of the first book she spends walking because she won't get in a car, it would have been worthwhile to get some tennis shoes.
Now in book two I have a female character who is 6'5 and STILL wears heels. I have no idea why I'm writing such tall characters either lol. Tho my mother and her family are tall. Short genes come from my dad's (the hispanic) side
My FL from my newest romance novel I'm working on is 5'10. But she usually wears heels too. Idky so many of my characters do when I've never owned a pair of heels in my life
