Hi! So I have this WIP and I'm a little confused on how to introduce the characters in writing. For some side characters, I have this:

“Have you heard the news?” Rachael asks, dusting a crumb off of her freckle covered shoulder.

“No,” Felix replies as he pushes a rare stray black hair out of his face, uncovering his dark blue eyes.

“Apparently Liam, one of the most powerful electrokinetics, has been chosen for the game. Whoever goes up against him is a dead man.” Rachael says.

“ Or woman,” I chime in.

“Yes, yes, or woman,” Rachael replies.

“Hey guys!” A tall skinny boy trips over his own feet as he comes over, nearly spilling his chicken and covering his brown puppy eyes with shaggy blond hair.

“Hi Milo,” I say already bored.

Is this a good way to do it? Are there better ways? Do you have any advice on how to make it better? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

I can't figure out how to write from my characters perspectives and show emotion.

People have said to imagine yourself in their place and how you would feel, or to get into their heads to see how they would view the situation, but I can't really do that because I have aphantasia and can't picture things in my mind.

Does anyone have any other advice to how I could show their emotions and perspectives when I can't really get into their mind or imagine myself in their place?

Hi. I have this character in a piece I'm writing, and I just can't find the right name for her. I want something melodic, and kind of "pretty" to say and hear, but also hinting at darkness, or feeling a little dark, and also preferably long. I've thrown around names like Nezzera and Azora, but none of them feel right.

So basically, she's kind of cold, and calculating, and the kind of person who takes everything in and asseses it well and harshly. Like in some shows and stuff where they just have all the numbers calculating around them, and their brain kind of labels things and people- thats her. She likes to observe, and does not care much about other peoples feelings. She has long, dark hair, stormy blue eyes, and pale skin. The actual plot is that there are some people who can control light, to either create illusions, have speed, heal, or conjure things temporarily. But she controls darkness.

I'm just really stuck on names and would really apreciate some help if you have any ideas.

I'm currently working on a project that has a lot of perspectives, and I'm having trouble personalizing them and making them actually represent the characters. For example, I have a character who is supposed to be really sweet, and almost impossible to irritate, and then I have multiple scenes where she is being impatient, and anoyed with people, and not at all like what her character is.

I also feel like a lot of the povs are just really similar and run together. It could lead to the writing feeling very dull, or repetitive with all the similarity between them and I don't really want that. I'm wondering if theres a way to help show the characters personality in my writing, or if you any tips to improve it or make it work?
