Writing Friday

Happy March! Today is Writing Friday which means I will introduce you to another one of my characters from my work-in-progress novel, Swept to Sea.

Today you will meet Lady Ivy Shaw, who I intend to be the female main character of the sequel to Swept to Sea.
Ivy grew up with Eden and they have been friends practically since they were born. She has wavy golden-orange hair that she typically wears in a tight bun. She gets annoyed when her hair comes out of its confinement. She has pale ivory skin and her face is dotted with freckles that multiply every time she steps out in the sun. Dark, stormy blue eyes the color of the sky before a storm display her emotions. She is nineteen years old.

I imagine her looking like actress Molly Quinn in this photograph.
Ivy is self-sacrificing, generous, and loves to take care of others.

She lives in England with her mother,  father, and younger brother Christopher. Once a wealthy family, they lost nearly everything when her father made a poor business investment. Her mother has been sick for the last couple of years and her father took to drinking after their loss of wealth, so Ivy has found herself taking care of her brother as if he were her own child. During Swept to Sea, she sets out on an expedition with her close friend Aimee to find Eden because they fear for her safety, running off alone to the Caribbean.
So, now you have been introduced to Ivy Shaw!
What do you think of her? I need you to please ask her whatever questions you want, and she will answer them in an interview next Friday! So, feel free to ask her any question you would like. Thanks, and have a great weekend!
