Main Character Sketch-House of Many Ways

Charmain Baker lives in High Norland, England. She has red thin hair, pale skin, and reading glasses that make her green eyes look huge. Her mother makes Charmain dress respectable, even though she does not like it. She is average height and is really skinny.

Charmain is intelligent and lazy. She strongly dislikes anyone better than her, especially Peter, her Great-uncle’s apprentice. Out of being intelligent and lazy, she also is a huge daydreamer, she loves to read. In the beginning of the book, Charmain discovers that in hard situations, she has luck and magic on her side.

On the outside, Charmain dislikes Peter, but on the inside she admires him. Charmain is trying to show him that she can be responsible and patient,but its hard to keep up with him. When Charmain gets a job at the royal library, the King sees her as a responsible, polite young lady.

Charmain wants to show people that she is more than she looks. By entering herself into an adventure, she will try to help the king and his friends find the elfgift.

During the book, Charmain tries to prove herself responsible. By overcoming obstacles, she finds that she can do anything she wants to as long as she has faith in herself.

I'd like to meet this Charmain. She sounds like someone who has the strength and courage to show the world her true self.

Charmain's mother sounds a little bit like Rueben's dad. Her mother sounds pretty strict, and Rueben's father is too. Charmain sounds like a very interesting character.

I thought your sketch described the book very well and it sounds like a great book.Charmain sounds a little full of herself, espescially since she doesn't like anyone better than her.

I think Charmain is trying to impress everyone including the king by completing the tasks or obstacles the king gave her.

I think that Chairman (an amazing name) sounds like a very interesting character. You describe her as being very "weak" appearing on the outside, but strong on the inside. How do you think her character will develop and will it show in her outward appearance?
