In 5/12/13's lesson my group of Sachelle, Kat and Chloe really developed our piece more. We also worked on characterization for our characters developing the idiocies and habits of their personality.
I decided that my character generally looks down upon people and judges them - hence why she has a gossipy side. She's constantly concerned about her appearance as she doesn't want to be judged herself - unable to take what she gives out. However, she is worried about her husband out at war and uses the gossip as an escapism away from that constant worry. On developing her idiocies, I decided to go with: fixing hair and checking nails - as a sign of her vanity and judgment, and the twisting of her ring of her finger - given to her by her husband - as a reminder that he's always there.
