What Makes A Heroine
Wow I knew I put this question off for a reason.
How to even begin? First, she has to be strong. I don't even mean strength wise; she has to have a strong constitution. Grit, personality, doesn't take anything from anyone, basically Emerald La Roe From my first book. She didn't take anything from no one and stood on her own two feet. Which of course if why her and Max didn't make it. You know Alfa male werewolf and all.
Emerald was beautiful in her own way, yeah she had a sinful looking body, with fire red hair and green eyes, but that's when her outer beauty stopped and her inner beauty came out. She was strong, self-assured, relied on no one and took care of everyone and everything her own way.
A different character of mine Shayla is your basic blonde blue-eyed fairy. Ok so she does have the looks on the outside but she is developing into a strong and capable Queen. Next is Jacqueline from Vampires Revenge, she is short, Dark hair, and I forgot her eye color. Well that's bad, but it's her new inside that counts. She was a willowy fainting pushover that was an innocent in everything. Now though she is tough as nails, and well just don't make her mad.
So I guess I choose independent women, who may or may not be a classic beauty. But by the end of the book they are, just from the character they become. Yeah Shayla is a 10 by some standards, and Emerald thinks her body belongs on a lady of the night, which may or may not be a good thing. And Jacqueline so far is a classic beauty, well in her Vampires Eyes, not so much anyone else's.
So does beauty count? Yes I'm afraid it does, maybe not the same stop your breath beauty, but a subtle beauty nonetheless.
Personality counts more! It always has and always will. It does not matter if she were super model material, if she was not a woman we would call best friend or want to be ourselves then she would never make the cut.
So how do I create my heroine, simple I don't I have no idea what they will look like or anything else about them until the story begins to unfold. I may decide they look one way before the first word is wrote and change it before the end of the first page.
BONUS : What Name Do You Give That Article Or Book?
The title of my book is as important as the characters themselves. So the name of the book is as important as the characters themselves. You can choose an important event as I did in The title of my book is as important as the characters themselves. In my first I named my book La Roe's after the Heroine in which the story was told from her POV, Secondly it also describes part of her. La Roe means The Red and her first name Emerald means Green she consequentially has red hair and green eyes. La Roe's is also about an entire family in which her children will come to play mainly her daughter which according to family tradition will be named La Roe also.
So the name of the book is as important as the characters themselves. You can choose an important event As Fay's Wish in which the mother a Fay makes a wish for her daughter. Then in Mystic Inn it represents the hotel, and Vampires Revenge represents the revenge our heroine will play on the hero. I think the name should give a clue to the reader of something grand about to take place.
So how to name you MS, well as you right it an important scene, place, person, or thing will stand out and hopefully shout use me. I find that I don't know the name until that exact moment. It is as hard as naming your Characters themselves, esp. if they represent them.
One thing to remember though never force the name, it will come to you and if you feel the need to name it temporarily then use the heroine's hero's or even something such contemporary romance, fantasy, or even pain in butt book 3 or whatever number it is.
