Similarities and Differences

When working on a character it's important to note the differences between yourself and them, but also the similarities so as to differentiate similar traits or contrasting actions. Having similarities help you to relate to your character, and in the case of Wendla and I, it will help both Devan and me to find certain characteristics we can both echo to keep informing the audience that we are the same character.

List of Differences:

1. She is 3 years younger than me
2. She has dark hair and brown eyes
3. Thinner than me
4. Unsure about how reproduction work
5. Only has one sister
6. Her father died when she was young
7. Immature but wants to be mature, but approaches it in a younger way (whereas I am mature but in an immature way)
8. Wants to know everything she can about people and life
9. Her favorite subject is Latin
10. She doesn't like to dance
11. We approach problems differently 

List of Similarities:

1. Same height 
2. Uncertain about the future
3. Trying to grow up (although we approach this differently)
4. Curious about the world we each live in 
5. Naive
6. Both have a close relationship with our Mothers and sister(s)
7. Both enjoy school
8.  Both enjoy music 
9. Mischievous
10. Both relish life
11. Enjoy the company of other people  

I noticed the similarities between Wendla and I are mainly hobby related or a personality trait. I think this will make it easier when trying out new decisions with my character as I will be able to slightly relate to them.
