A meme I stole from someone on Dear_multiverse's friendslist.

The Character Physically

1. What is the character's stature and build? Is she overweight? Thin? What is her height and weight?

Bella Fennix is five foot eleven, which makes her tall for a woman. She's has slight curves, as well. Her weight is a bit above average for her height, due to the mechanical limbs.

2. How old is she?

26

3. Describe her posture. Is it good? Does she carry herself well? Is she crooked? Straight?

Bella generally stands up straight out of habit, but when in the presence of people she's comfortable around, she tends to drape in a boneless manner in any chair she sits in.

4. Is she in good shape or out of condition? Is she muscularly weak or strong?

Bella is in great shape. She's constantly on the move and has to be.

5. How is her health? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?

Her health is relatively okay. She tends to drink on occasion, and her arm and leg on her right side are both replaced with clockwork (sparky! self winding) limbs

6. Is she physically active or sedentary? A fast or slow mover?

Fairly active.

7. Is she clumsy, awkward, graceful?

Somewhat in the middle of all three.

8. Does she move in straight or curved lines? Is she physically tight or fluid?

Whatever she needs, although when she's Sparking out, she tends to follow the path of least resistance.

9. What are her chief efforts?

To try and save people from the War, and from being taken advantage of.

10. Is the character good-looking, pretty, beautiful, average, plain, ugly, disfigured?

Bella is somewhat good looking, in my opinion, but I don't really play this up because it's not a particularly important aspect of her, unless she's dressed up for some reason or another.

11. Is the character aware of herself physically? Her looks?

Physically, yes. Lookswise can vary.

12. Describe her complexion and skin. Dark, light, clear, marked?

Palish, fairly clear, but usually she's got an oil-stain somewhere.

13. Describe her hair, coloring, styling. Is it taken care of?

Bella is blonde. The more correct definition is that her hair is a sandy sort of blonde. She usually wears it tied back in a braid, and at least tries to take care of it when she can.

14. How is her usual dexterity? Does she have good hands: Can she do things? Is she a worker?

Bella is extraordinarily good with her hands, even when you consider the bulkier mechanical hand on her right arm.

15. Is she physically tense or relaxed, nervous, controlled?

Relaxed until she hits the Madness Place, at which point it's a weird balance between controlled and tense.

16. What are her chief tension centers?

Shoulders and back.

17. What part of her body would you notice first?

Her mechanical limbs, or her height, possibly.

18. Describe her basic gravity factor. Is there a downward pull or buoyancy?

Uh?

Confident, usually.

Typical for her time period.

The Character's Voice

Incredibly smart and attentive, but tends to occasionally lack common sense. This becomes more pronounced the more into the Madness Place she gets.

Quickly and impulsively, and like above, this becomes more pronounced the more Madness-Sparky she gets.

Somewhat, but it tends to have more negative effects than positive, lately.

6. Can she command others to do her bidding, by word or manipulation?

Due to being a Spark, she has the charasmatic ability to influence others to do what she wants via the Madness Place (this is why her voice sounds off when she speaks while in it), but otherwise, she'd just ask.

7. How does she get her wishes daily?

Generally doing things herself. She's very hands on.

It's important in the fact that it's something that's good feeling to do with someone she considers fairly close, and she'd likely place a higher importance on it if she was in a romantic situation. She doesn't really do anything unusual except for the occasional use of, well. Let's just say 'superpower kink factor'.
