September 7, 2022 at 4:58 pm #117023Okay, sorry it took me so long but here’s a character page for Marea.
Please do not feel obligated to read this, it is SOOO LOOONG and full of flaws XD
I designed this character when I was a dumb angsty little 13 year old and had no writing skills hehe
If you do read the whole dang thang, enjoy this free popcorn whilst you peruse my rantings and ravings ๐ฟ๐ย ย Marea
Gender: female
Age: 13-15
MBTI: ISFP-T (her personality has changed the most times out of all my characters though so I dunno)
Ethnicity: Salish, Western European (German, French, etc.)
Time and location: Seattle, WA in the ’90s
Appearance
Hair: bushy dark brunette, falls just below her shoulders
Skin: fair with a tinge of brown, tans easily
Eyes: dark blue
Height: 5’4 – 5’7
Birthmarks, scars: Later in her story she has a deep scar running across her left cheek, possibly from a scuffle with a bobcat or wolf.
Clothing: She wears a lot of grungey clothing (i.e flannels, graphic tees, worn jeans, boots and sneakers)
Backstory
Marea had a rough childhood. She moved frequently, often into bad neighborhoods. Her parents rarely got along and eventually split up for good. Her father was very innattentive and impatient and generally uninterested in Marea’s life. Her mother was very inconsistent and would leave often, sometimes for days or weeks at a time. Though it didn’t happen very often, she would spend time with her daughter, although that usually took the form of Marea playing therapist while her mother vented about life. Marea’s mom is probably the most irresponsible character in any of my stories.. She grew up in the ’60s and kind of considered herself a flower child. She did whatever she felt like doing whenever she felt like doing it, regardless of how it affected those around her. For lack of a better role model, Marea did admire her. She wished she could have the same freedom her mother did, even though it hurt when she was abandoned time after time. She was convinced by her mother into thinking that it was her father who was the problem and that he was holding them both back.
Anyways, when Marea was 13 her parents finally split up. Her mom left for good without leaving any clue as to where she went or if she’d ever be back. Her dad dumped her on his sister (we’ll call her Brenda) and brother-in-law and went far north for work and to get away from it all. Marea’s aunt was like the opposite of her mother in all the wrong ways. She was uptight and rigid and not at all happy about suddenly being her niece’s caretaker. Marea’s uncle was overall pretty apathetic to the situation; frankly he’s pretty boring (on purpose, lol). Brenda’s main concern is getting Marea off her hands so she can go back to her structured life.
Come summer break, Brenda announces to Marea that she will be staying up North with her father until school starts again. Marea wants nothing to do with her father and makes a huge fuss of it, but nonetheless she ends up at the airport where an old friend of her grandfather’s is willing to fly her there. She loads her backpack and a suitcase into the bushplane and all is well until they encounter a rough patch of weather and the plane crashes. The pilot is killed in the crash but Marea makes it out pretty well, apart from a broken arm and some more trauma under her belt lol. Being a city kid dropped in the middle of northern British Columbia, things are a little rough. Luckily she has enough grit to pull herself through it, even if she’s lacking a few valuable skill sets.
The rest of the story is a little foggy, but I believe there will be a mystery element to it after Marea does some adventuring and finds an abandoned trapper’s cabin. I still need to do a lot of work on her character development. She’s a brat by (mostly) no fault of her own. She’s feisty and slow to trust others. Her perception of how relationships work is so messed up and she feels very unwanted but thinks she doesn’t need anyone. I love her nonetheless ๐ Compared to the other characters I made when I was 13, she has the most tragic yet well-designed backstory (in comparison).
Oh, my gosh, that was really long. Thanks for reading ๐

Her relationship with her mother is a little more complex than that, but I’ll spare y’all the details XD

September 8, 2022 at 9:35 pm #117112Ooo, random but was her story a female version of Hatchet?

September 12, 2022 at 5:07 pm #117237@koshka AHH CAUGHT IN 4K ๐๐ธ
I forgot to mention to y’all, but her story seriously is an unintentional rip-off of Hatchet ๐คฃ I swear I’d never even picked up the book before I wrote her, and when I finally got to reading the book I was kind of spooked at how similar it was to Marea’s story… which is why I’ll never be able to publish anything relating to her LOL
Good catch though. I have been working on changing elements of her story so that it doesn’t look like I blatantly plagiarized Gary Paulsen.. ๐ฌ
