In one of my classes in me escuela, we had an assignment where we had to create a character and just write a descriptive paragraph about their appearance, including physical traits, as well as the type of clothes they wore. I thought it might actually be fun to write somethin' like that for me Millard High characters here, even though I think most of you already have an idea how they're supposed to look through the pictures and stuffle wuffles. :V

So uh, here are some descriptions I came up with for Samson and Dominick, for example.

Samson
 * Physical Traits: Despite his ravenous appetite, Samson is incredibly skinny, to the point where you can almost see his rib cage under his shirt. Nobody's exactly sure why this is the case, but it's possible that he just has a very fast metabolism. Thanks to family genes, he's also very short for his age. His somewhat short, bushy medium brown hair, which matches in color with his large, friendly-looking eyes, covers his head like a mop, and is usually around 4-5 inches long. He also has a small button nose and a very round baby face. The combination of all this gives him a very youthful appearance; most people mistake him to be much younger than he really is.
 * Clothing: Most of Samson's clothes comes from sporty, athletic brands, like Puma or Nike. Occasionally, he also wears funny t-shirts, sports jerseys, or merchandise inspired from his favorite cartoons or video games. It's hard to find anything exactly his size, so most of the stuff he wears is baggy and too big for him. Usually, he dresses in warm colors like red, yellow, and orange, as well as blue or black.

Dominick
 * Physical Traits: Like most boys around his age, Dominick is in the middle of a growth spurt, so he has a somewhat thin frame for his height (although, he's not as much of a stick as his friend Samson). His naturally arched brows and somewhat thicker lower lip give the appearance of a moody pout; this often gives people the impression that he's cranky, even when he's fine. He also has a sharply pointed aquiline nose, and a sharp, square jaw to match. As with most people of his ethnicity, he has a swarthy complexion, with olive tanned skin, dark hair, and almond-shaped, dark brown eyes that look almost black in most instances except in direct light. His straight, jet black hair is usually very short and ranges from a crew cut to around 2 inches. At its longest, it may occasionally look a little disorganized.
 * Clothing: While Dominick's fashion sense isn't bad per se, it's nothing remarkable either. Most of what he wears is very basic, including hoodies, t-shirts, polo shirts, flannel shirts, and...not much else. Almost all of his pants are some variant of blue jeans, save for a few cargo shorts, and maybe one pair of sports training pants. Colors are usually green, blue, red, or black, but generally he's not very discriminate about the colors he wears, as he also has some yellow, and orange tops (but he does avoid more feminine colors like pink or purple).

You peeps can try it out with your characters too, maybe to exercise your descriptive writing skills a little or somethin'. Or...if you're too lazy, well, you don't have to bother.
