Tell me not to dig a pool in the back yard

Update- yall were successful, thank you

I was raised by rednecks so theres an ingrained 'just do it yourself' thought process and I really want a pool/pond.

So, logically, I dig a big hole, I put a liner in it, some sort of fountain or bubbler or whatever like you do in aquariums to keep it from being still water, and then put the water hose in it.

I have a shop vac if I need to drain it, and we can use a pool net to keep it clean?

I know there is something wrong with this plan but Idk what it is. Someone tell me why this is a bad plan before I make a mistake

Getting to know a character?

TLDR: Im having trouble getting to know a character, does anyone have any tips?

Longer, rambly version: I'm writing my first book. I loved writing as a kid and have decided to embrace the phrase 'write shitty stories' I'm not stressing about making it good, I just want to make something.

Anyways, my favorite part of writing is creating the character and I can usually sit for hours and write notes and it feels like meeting a new person, they just tell me about themselves as they get more confidant. Aloric, however, is giving me trouble.

Aloric is a banshee-blood, and a member of the 'rebel' group. His appearance is pretty clear, and I can tell he keeps ppl at arms distance, not in a broody way but using sarcasm to protect himself. He always seems to know more than he should and is usually annoyed with his companions. He has a bit of a bard archetype, and a bit of a healer archetype. He is very use to death (his magic tells him when anyone he passes is going to die, and how likely it is they'll be able to survive it, including soldiers which makes him very good at triage.) He's not apathetic, but he is practical. He also has a dog (a saluki enchanted to have a longer lifeline) who is very well trained. I can also see his appearance fairly clearly and know he's trans but that is everything I can find on him

I can't find any of his history, parents? How did he end up at the circus? Etc.

Most of the rebels have their own motivation- (Kage is loyal to his cousin, Junni wants to help people, MMC wants to put himself on the throne, Azolla wants to fuck over the royals, etc.) But I cannot figure out Aloric's motivation.

What exactly is his role in the group?

What are his main story points?

Im also barely getting any scenes that he is in, other than the original.

Its driving me insane, so, any advice?

I think I have the right size, but what type of bra do I need?

Hello! I just got myself measured and ordered some new bras from bravissimo. These to be exact;

Offbeat Half Cup Bra
FY507 White 38FF

Superboost Lace Bra
GS107 Burgundy 38FF

Posey Bra
LG417 Pink Floral 38FF

That's UK sizes, amd they seem to be the correct size but they dig in on the outer side of my boobs, so I think I need a different shape. According to the internet i have either relaxed, or bellshaped breast? So, any advice?
