Character Development

 Hi reader! Since I have already made a previous post regarding my plot, which included a brief development of my character (Camila), I will be writing about the elements around her that make her who she is.

Family:

Camila's parents have strong Hispanic values and focus on discipline and education. They support her on everything, but also have high expectations for her, usually putting off the importance of developing a social life to simply focus her studies. Although they financially support her, they do not discuss issues like self-image, and she is left to reflect on her physical image on her own.

Friends:

Camila prefers to keep to herself and concentrate on her studies rather than having a circle of friends. She, at times, talks with students, but she finds it hard to build strong relationships because of her awkwardness and quiet personality. Even though she has no aspects of popular people, she still wishes to be like them and be a part of their group.

School:

Camila stands out as a student in her competitive high school. She feels that all the hard courses she takes overpower her everyday life. Beauty standards are reinforced in the school she goes to, since many girls follow a particular lifestyle and appearance aesthetic. Although Camila's intelligence is seen as very significant, she still feels segregated by her appearance and insecurity.

Extracurriculars:

Camila plays an instrument (like the piano or violin) as an escape from the stresses of her everyday life. Despite loving music, she barely ever expresses her love for it to others because she views it as just another chore on her intense schedule. She eventually loses interest in her passion for her instrument as she becomes busier with changing her image.

I’m going to try to include these elements along the opening sequences to add a more developed storyline to the plot.
