Are your characters based off real people or do
they come entirely from your imagination?
Characters
are one of the key parts of the story, to make them relatable they have to feel
real. I don’t necessarily base characters off certain people I know, but occasionally
I find that it’s easier for me to write characters if I have an image in my head.
Whether it’s a mannerism or eye color I’m affected by things I encounter in
daily life that helps me in the creation of these characters.
It’s
impossible to say whether or not I’ve based an entire character on someone, because
I’m so inspired by random things and random people. From coffee house baristas
flipping cups to strangers pushing a cart in Walmart (that’s the best people
watching spot after all.) I believe I’ve used some tidbits I’ve seen and
incorporated them into my books. But, there are two specific characters that I
know for a fact I’ve conciously based off of actual people.
Amanda from The Seraphina Series is based off my
real life best friend, Miranda. From her personality, to her appearance, to her
driving a little black coupe they are very similar. She just seemed to embody
everything a best friend should be, so it was easy to base a character off of
her. I’ve also noticed the other best friends in all my series have the same
qualities—they are usually the comic relief and a smidge promiscuous.
The
second character I’ve based off someone would be John Smith from Uncovering
Officer Smith. He was based off a bouncer at a bar my friends and I used to
attend. There was this one bouncer that was major eye candy. In the story, I
just emulated his appearance and the way ladies would swoon and dance over in
his corner. I’m a shy author in real life so I’ve never spoken two words to the
actual guy. But it was fun to fantasize about him and write this crazy story.
So
all in all, there are only two characters I’ve based off of actual people. Most
of my characters are just a figment of my imagination. Those tend to be the
harder characters to write, in those cases I try to choose a celebrity I can
imagine playing them in a movie and that usually helps me to write descriptions
of them. Plus, multiple books later it helps me keep my characters straight in
my head!
