Ecu's undead journal from heck.

So, I'm currently working through the editing of my second draft of my nano novel. I've actually got a few of my excerpts completely polished and edited as stand-a-lones, for work and my creative writing course, but now I'm making a start on the work as a whole, properly. And to help myself focus on my character's continuity (my novel is character and relationship-driven, after all), I've decided to post and illustrate some of my character files from my scrivener scribblings from way back in November. Look out for spectacularly bad art coming soon!

Freddy

Ruth’s former best friend. Seen as a bit ‘up herself’ by many of the others that know her, (i.e. "The Cockney Girl") and is followed around by "The Hipster Squad" (A group of people who are a bit sloane ranger-y, very posh and dress like Jack Wills models).

 She is the to-go person for 'new' music, as she listens to inner-city late-night radio shows and makes old fashioned mixtapes and CDs- “the only way to get around copyright these days”.
She is “Lizard Friends” with Ruth at the beginning of the book, but quickly drops her after she thinks Ruth is a lesbian; possibly has some bicurious tendencies toward Ruth, though is probably firmly in the ‘Gay When Drunk’ category.

She’s got a bit of a quick temper and won’t let any argument rest. 

Helps her older brother with his cigarette-selling empire and even has a pencilcase made out of malboro light packets.

Classes

She takes Music Tech and philosophy (plays the guitar and lugs round large textbooks).

Appearance

Pale skin and curly/frizzy (although well-managed, so only frizzy when she is off-guard) ‘burnt orange’ hair. She has slight ever-present dark circles under her eyes from staying up to listen to late-night radio and callused finger tips (from playing the guitar).
She is extremely thin and always wears a selection of charity-shop baggy jumpers, cigarette jeans and various battered shoes.

One of the sorts of hipsters who would never admit to being a hipster; a bit of a bitch.
