Samantha Hazel | Original Fandom | [ C- ]

Fandom: (Original) About my OC, Samantha, who is a teenager in a small town who struggles with introversion.

Name: Samantha Hazel

Hazel seems like such a cliche name.

Nicknames: Penny, (her middle name.) Sami, and Sam.

Age: 15

Gender: Female.

Looks: Frizzy, dark brown hair in a high ponytail. Has glasses that are made out of copper, and penny-colored eyes. (Hence her middle name/nickname.) Wears a light brown sweater with a white collared shirt underneath. The sweater has a cartoon sheep with dark brown wool on it.

Someone getting their nickname off of their eye color seems unusual. Her nickname is cute though.
Everything else is normal and cute for a character.
Is she based off of a sheep??

Personality: Generally awkward, unable to make conversation without an already brought up topic. She's mindful and compassionate, but people tend to think of her as rude since she tends to shy away from conversation as soon as humanly possible.

It's nice that you did add something else besides her introversion. However introversion isn't everything in a person, and I'd like like to see more characters that weren't so based off of their antisocial tendencies.

Likes: The color brown, apple and cinnamon oatmeal, her parents, and sheep.

That's cute. However sheep and brown are also found with her clothing and comes off as repetitive. Unless you make her focus too much on it, I think it'll be okay.

Dislikes: Bullies, people who never shut up, cows, and mutton.

Actually now I'm starting to think she's really based off her love of sheep. Yikes.

Strengths: Always a good shoulder to cry on, and is generally sweet to everyone.

Very nice.

Weaknesses: Her painful introversion, and she tends not to take a hit (physically or verbally) very well.

If you really wanted to improve her, please make introversion not as huge piece of her. It can still be there, but please minimize it.

Backstory: Lives in a small town in Nebraska, at Hastings High School. She was left to fend for herself as her best friend, Nicky Bonhim, had moved because of some serious family issues in Texas.

Wait she lives at high school?? Is she homeless?

Love interest: Nicky Bonhim, mentioned above as her best friend.

Nice nice.

Overall, she has areas to improve on. Her design is very very cute, but you kind of picked only a few (sheep, the color brown, introversion) and then made her all about them. Add some variety! Also try to explain why she lives at a high school.
