Beautiful People: July

Once against it’s time for the Beautiful People link up (which I have managed to wait until the last day of the month to join in with.) Beautiful People is a link up for writers to get to know and share their characters with other people. You can find out more about this tag HERE if you’re interested. Thanks to Notebook Sisters and Further Up and Further In for hosting this link-up. As before, I'm only answering a few of the ten questions asked for this month.

For this edition of Beautiful People I'm going to be using Nicola. She is short, blue haired, aquatic mutant from my series of rewritten fairy tales. She's currently one of my favourite characters to write, and I can't wait to give her a book of her own.

What’s their favourite food? (Bonus: favourite flavour of chocolate!)

Nicola’s favourite food is double chocolate chip cookies, best served with a large cup of strong coffee. It does however, have a tendency to make her a bit hyper. Not that she isn’t overly energetic normally. She’s always bubbling with energy. As to her favourite flavour of chocolate, in her mind, there is no such thing as bad chocolate. All chocolate is her favourite flavour.

What do they absolutely hate?
Any form of work. Nicola, while being a likeable, bubbly person isn’t above trying to get out of work at any opportunity that presents itself. Which she seems to have quite a talent for really.

Are they a night owl or morning person?
Definitely a night owl. Nicola wakes up so grumpy that it’s not advisable for anyone to approach her before she’s had her morning coffee and a swim. But she’s always far too hyped up to go to bed at any decent time at night.

Do they say everything that pops into their head, or leave a lot unsaid?

Nicola is the definition of untactful in the extreme. Often her friends actually have to hush her up before she speaks her mind and makes a problem worse. However it does make her a very honest person, and you can always be sure that her immediate reaction is the most truthful.
