Okay, so I really want my characters to have some phobias and possibly some quirks, lik how Jemmy is obsessed with cake. I need them for

Taylor Evernight

Jemmy Larson

Lisa Benson

I'd perfer that the phobias aren't of heights or spiders, especially for Taylor, but anything else is fair game. Also a few quirks wouldn't hurt either. Thanks.

Mattie | 4 comments Is it too late to answer this or have you already figured it out??

Mattie | 4 comments You could go to www.phobialist.com for the phobias (I use that place all the time!).

I found a website (a wee bit too big to copy and paste) and they had a character quirks list that I found quite helpful! I'll list a few and if you want, I can post the link.

Here are some:
Snores
Paranoid
Idealistic/Naive
Competitive
Tuneless whistler
Speech impediment (stutters, lisp, etc)
Hates sleeping
Abhors violence
Fails to recognize danger
O.C.D
Can't say 'no'
Allergies
Bad with names; gets names mixed up
No short term memory
Never gets seasick
Always keeps her cool
