Dear Elisabeth,
thanks a lot for your answer.
I thougth about your text some time and spoke about it with my writing girlfriends.
I understand why you choose to keep Pirio's hair color out. But I think after we know her race, eye color and body type almost in the beginning, and after her hair color was more or less important in the end (when she had doubt with her father) ... Yeah you maybe understand that I would have prefer to get mentioned it earlier.
I am also really pro details. When I as a reader get the information about the charakter's look after I create my own picture I may be suprised or sometimes I was disappointed.
That is why I as a writer like to give my readers a light or stronger direction about the protagonist looks even when I write in first-person perspective.
Maybe it's only me and my head but yeah: I really like to have a little discription so I have a nicer picture about the protagonist and they people :)
Have a good write!
Claudia

Claudia, Thanks for your suggestion. In the book I’m writing now I describe the character only as “tall and angular,” but you’ve made me think and maybe I will give more description now! Happy writing, Elisabeth
