Wow, I'm really impressed with the amount of research and thought you put into your character! I'm really digging Skipper already~

I like the idea of her being hyperactive because of all that sugar. Maybe you could expand on this by making her character as quirky as she is energetic. Or you could make her as sweet as the sugar she eats. I like the idea of her being distracted easily, or being sort of childish (I noticed you mentioned that she might like plush toys - I think that's adorable!). Perhaps she's still trying to "grow" into the shoes of a sea captain - Maybe she feels a bit inadequate because of this, since people are always telling her how immature she is. I like the idea of her having this jovial, and yet still adventurous nature, and I think it'd be pretty fitting for her tale as well~

Some character trait ideas: Energetic, fun-loving, childish, enthusiastic, immature, impatient

Oh, and perhaps Skipper could enjoy tap dancing. I know it sort of sounds random, but I could totally see it happening if she's all energetic and jumping all over the place!

As for choosing a character from John Riley, I'm a bit torn over which role to choose as well! I'd suggest the role of John Riley, though, since it might be easier to make a pun off his name rather than the woman betrothed to him.

Plus, I think it might be a fun character to work with. If you made the son/daughter of John Riley, you could make them a compulsive liar who, instead of "testing" people to like the original John Riley, just likes to mess with people. Or just generally enjoys pestering people and is annoying and has no concept of personal space. A character like that could be surprisingly fun to work with~

Well, hopefully I helped in some way! Also, sorry for the late reply (today was a looong day)! And if you need any more advice, feel free to ask anytime C:
