Alrighty, so for names, I'd say anything related to the word 'pear' is going to be key here. Pearis, Pearnelope, Peartricia, Pipear, Pearle, Pearsephone, Pearlina, Prospeara, Pearene, etc. etc. Definitely feel free to get crazy with names (I know I did)! As for her surname, I would suggest going with either Little or Small or Klein or anything that means/translates into 'little'. Personally, I like the name Pearnelope Little - I think it's very cute~

So, for personality I first thought of this character as being shy, obediant and timid - Not entirely sure why, but it just feels right for this sort of character. I mean, she's destined for a Happily Ever After (presumably) and even marries a prince, but her tale is not as well-known as, say, Snow White or Cinderella is. So, perhaps she feels self-conscious about that fact? Perhaps she's a Royal who wants to go through with her story and follow destiny so that she brings honor to her family - Maybe it's a secret desire of hers to make her story more well-known, but her shy personality makes it hard for her to do so. I like the idea of a dutiful Royal character who comes from a lesser-known tale, but still stays true to it for her legacy's sake

Or, you could do the opposite and make her very loud and outspoken - Sure her tale's not that well-known, but she's loud and proud of it anyways. Perhaps she's on the Rebel side because she feels like she doesn't get the attention she deserves, and she's supposed to be the main character of her story. I've never worked with obscure fairytales before, so I can't really give you any good tips about it, but I know that it's definitely going to be fun to work with that sort of character!

For appearance and design, I have one word: pears. Just pears. You could give her pear-green eyes, or a pear-shaped body, and a color scheme that's pear green, yellow and brown - Y'know, cute little pear motifs that relate to her story~ I don't know why, but I really like the idea of her having like a sort of 1950's vintage look to her. I could totally see her with a cute dress like this or something! I could see her with either dark brown hair with green streaks or golden blonde (because I know there are such things as yellow pears, so blonde hair would fit too!). Also, probably green eyes, like I mentioned before. Oh, and I like the idea of her having tights with like a pear tree silhouette on them - I think that'd be cute!

Well, that's all I have for ideas right now~ Hopefully I helped in some way, and if you need any more help or advice, feel free to ask ^^

Also, I will get to reviewing and critiquing your characters as soon as possible! I apologize for the delay, but I'm a tad busy with some stuff IRL right now. I promise to get around to reviewing them whenever I can! C:
