A Bit About My Characters

 

    I have already discussed, quite extensively, about having good character representation and what different groups my characters may fit into, but I feel like I left out a major part. Who even are my main characters. Well you are about to find out. As previously mentioned, part of my story will be based off of the movie “A Silent Voice’’, so it just makes sense that my characters will have a bit of resemblance to some of their traits; however, they will still be unique and have their own individuality.

Andi-

My main character, Andi, is a deaf girl who has grown up all her life mainstreamed into hearing schools where she feels like an outcast among her classmates. She lives in a single parent household, but they try to be supportive as possible to Andi. She resembles an INFJ personality type, similar to Nishimiya from “A Silent Voice”, which was due to influence from her past and being bullied in school. INFJ’s are very creative, gentle, and reserved, with high moral standards. They are very soft-spoken but enjoy thinking in depth, usually about the meaning of life. Her personality will play a role in her interactions with others including Vera. 

Andi typically likes more pale or neutral colored clothing with sweaters and jeans because it makes her feel comfortable and not stand out too much.

Vera- 

Vera, is the secondary main character who will serve as a good friend and love interest to Andi. She is hearing and has always been a go-getter, usually being the center of attention. She is an ENFP type, which are typically very energetic, warm, and optimistic. Vera is very passionate about many things and is liked by many, and just like Andi, she is very creative and artistic.

Vera has a very bright, colorful, and artistic essence that attracts many people and leaves a good impression on others.
