1)
Patience and Caution - This may sound silly, but the longer I read, the longer
I am convinced more characters need to be cautious! So many characters dash off
into danger without a second thought. So I appreciate the character who has a
solid plan.
2)
Loyalty - When characters are disloyal it drives me mad. I want a strong friendship group or a strong trio or a strong romantic relationship. Any kind of disloyalty is frustrating to me.
3) Playful but not Rude - Banter is the starting point for so many relationships I love in my books. However, I love it when it is playful without going into cruel or rude remarks.
4) Shy - I'm usually a shy person and I like to see genuinely shy people on page. Unlike so many characters who are described as shy and have a very different disposition once they are half way through the story. *eye roll here*
5) Responsible - It might just be my personality creeping onto the page because along with Patience and Caution I want characters to be responsible. Please be sure to check we have all the ingredients for a spell before we start please and thank you.
6) Loving - 🥰I honestly love it when characters show their affection for each other rather than the author telling us about how much they care.
7) Not Afraid to Ask for Help - This is one I roll my eyes at all the time. Characters who think they need to do everything alone are frustrating.
8) Clever - This goes for authors too. I love it when a reveal or plot twist is clever especially if there are clues. I want clever reveals balanced with things I could figure out. Is that too much to ask?
9) Understanding - This could also be labeled compassion. True heartlessness isn't very interesting to me. Warm hearts under tough exteriors is actually the best.
10) Communicative - USE YOUR WORDS.
