Character Development - Personality

Now I have gone over some ideas for the looks of my character I need too work them with her personality to give her something more than just looks.

This is what the brief saids about her:

"Pocahontas Billiams – “Willie’s sister, she’s seven years old but much more relaxed and more knowing than her sibling. She wants to be a gorilla.”

I have been focusing on the "She wants to be a gorilla." part a lot, as this small sentence really does set the tone for this character. Wanting too be something will mean that she could have quirks or taints that she has developed to make herself more gorilla like. I have taken too her changing her daily cloths too include this gorilla costume she had made. I want too make her a quiet character, not shy, but still not too adventurous at the same time.

Too reflect the quiet personality I will give her a haircut style that covers her eyes. By doing this the gorilla mask she wears acts like her eyes instead, not physically but picture wise. I also wanted too make it so she relays expressions more by her mouth expressions and not by the eyes.

She is also meant too be more knowing that her brother, I want her too be quizzical character. You only know more than others by asking a lot.

So in summary, she is a quiet, yet quizzical character. Asking questions when she wants too know something, but other than that she is quiet. Mainly talking too expand her knowledge. Her wanting too be a gorilla has lead her too make a gorilla costume our of bits of fur found at home. She choose too hide the top part of her face in her hair and mask, too look more gorilla like (cause of the mask).
