Beautiful People

So I saw a few of the blogs I follow doing this thing called Beautiful People created by http://georgiepenn.blogspot.com/, where you answer questions about your characters you created. It seems fun so I'm going to try it!

I'm doing my character Dakota Wright from my new book Flawed, which is still in progress of being written. Almost at 10,000 words!

That is a visual of Dakota. She has curly brown hair and blue eyes. This is pretty much how I imagined her. Maybe a little shorter and skinner but you get the picture.
