Some fun character quirks/traits that I came up with/took from other fictional characters:

-stuttering when nervous

-scratching a certain place on their body (like their neck or head) when faced with a problem to solve

-really, really bad at lying

-bites fingernails all the time

-has random spurts of energy for absolutely no reason

-hates to fight unlike every main character ever and just hides out when there's some action going on

-when fighting, time seems to go by really fast and everything is sort of a blur

Character ideas:

-approximately 30 yr old (or equivalent) mom with a ton of kids who joins protagonist's group just so she can get away from her annoying children

-person with unnaturally bad luck but they're not really affected by it (e.g. cars crash around them, but don't get in their way; it starts raining wherever they go, but only 2 minutes after they've left; their umbrellas always break but someone always has an extra)

-person with unnaturally bad luck who just doesn't care and is used to it (e.g. it rains all the time but only where they are, they always carry an umbrella on them; their pens run out of ink very fast, but they have like 10 extras with them at all times)

-a gang of orphans who live without adult supervision but do pretty okay for themselves

-a cat who sits on stuff all the time and eventually the protag figures out that the cat always sits on stuff that the protag will need within the hour (e.g. cat sits on a book, half an hour later the protag goes to read it and find important information relevant to their quest within it)

story idea:

In a fantasy world, two sixteen-or-so-year-olds are in an arranged marriage. They aren't married yet, but they'll have to marry eachother when they each turn 17... which isn't in very long. They absolutely *hate* eachother. Thus, they decide to go on a quest to do a heroic thing that will make them really popular and, depending on the reason given for the arrangement, will make it so the arranged marriage is not needed anymore. The pair begrudgingly work together to reach their goal. One (or both) of them doesn't care about the heroic thing; for example, if the heroic thing is to get rid of an evil queen and save others from her minions on the way, then one of the pair doesn't really care about the people they save, just the fact that soon they'll get out of the marriage. However, by the end, they are an actual good person and are glad they saved all those people. Extra twist if wanted: throughout the story the pair begins to like eachother and by the end they're in love, despite having hated eachother at first.

stuff I really want in the story that I've made some of in my mind and that I'm trying to write

  • friend ravens
  • cute rats
  • a cool fantasy language
  • funny villain
  • super short mom who has like 10 kids and joins the protag group because she wants a break. also really good fighter.
  • person who rarely, RARELY speaks. like, the other characters only learn their name waaay later because the character won't talk.
  • at the beginning it's clear who the villain is but it's eventually revealed that they aren't the actual villain, there's someone even more powerful than them to defeat
  • cute sibling relationship

Story prompt I wrote for a family member

 

You feel the vibrations from the music pulsing through the floor and up your legs, encouraging your body to move. 

You lower your torso to your feet, your back curving like a cats as you slowly pull yourself up, your fingertips brushing against your legs

Your hands slide along your body, around your hips, up your midsection, over your arms and are raised above your head

You sway to the beat of the music, the people around you each dancing in their own unique way.

The intoxicating smell of sweat and perfume fills your nostrils as you take a deep breath, your lungs already starting to give in to your exhaustion and asthma.

You can't stop, even for a moment though. None of you can. You are dancing for your lives.
