Beautiful People: Cara Kingsley (#1)

10:01 PM Sky Destrian 0 Comments

Sky here! Ashley and I have some new characters, Axl and Cara. I decided to sit down and learn more about my character, Cara Kingsley. She's 26 and is a musician who's been on the music scene for a while (keyboard and background vocals, as well as some guitar). She's been touring since she was 19. At home, she has three brothers who mean everything to her. She loves to make new friends and she's extremely outgoing. On the Myers-Briggs scale, she's probably an ESFP.

So without further ado, let's ask some questions about Cara!

1. What’s their favourite ice cream flavour?

Neopolitan!

2. Your character is getting ready for a night out. Where are they going? What are they wearing? Who will they be with?

She'd be with her band at the time, probably, or any acquaintances she has.

3. Look at your character’s feet. Describe what you see there. Do they wear dress shoes, gym shoes, or none at all? Are they in socks that are ratty and full of holes? What do they consider comfortable and what do they consider agony?

She has about 10 pairs of used Converse, which is the only thing she'll ever wear.

4. Do they have any birthmark or scars? Where are they and how did they get them?

Cara has a scar on her knee from an unfortunate skateboarding incident. She was skateboarding with her brother Corey and his friends, and fell off.

5. What kind of music do they listen to? Does it change depending on their mood or is it always consistent? (Feel free to share samples!)

Cara really loves alternative rock, classic rock, EDM, and pop punk, but she'll listen to anything.

6. Do they have any musical talent? Play an instrument? How’s their singing voice?

Cara can sing and play piano, but she also knows some guitar. (Her older brother Corey taught her.)

7. What kind of book would you catch them reading?

Probably a self-help book. Cara is always searching for the answer to life.

Life is confusing.

8. How would they spend their summers (or their holidays)?

Either visiting her brothers and mom, or sightseeing on the coast.

9. It’s Saturday at noon. What is your character doing? Give details. Ex. If they’re eating breakfast, what’s on the menu? Are they hiking, shopping, lazing around?

Cara lives all over, since she's a touring musician. When she's not on the road, she goes home to live with her mom in Florida. So if she's on tour, she'll probably be checking out whatever city they're in at the time, and preparing to do soundcheck or any interviews. If she's at home, she's probably making lunch for her siblings--peanut butter and jelly.

10. Is there anything your character wants to be free of?

Cara definitely has some ghosts haunting her, particularly the death of her older brother Corey, who meant everything to her.

Thanks for reading! What's your character's favorite ice cream flavor?
