Character Bio Writing!
Hello human beings, elves, dwarfs, and other mystical creatures out there! Today I am going to be talking about Character Bios!! (In case you didn’t read the title) In this blog, I will be talking about a few things to ask about your character, and then a template of things you should let the reader know about your character. Because there is a difference between what you know about the character, and what the reader should know.
Some Questions to Ask
- What textures can they not stand? (For example, I cannot stand sand.)
- Would they rather 3am or 3pm?
- Do they leave their dirty clothes on the floor, or on a chair?
- If they could eat only one food for 20 days what would it be?
- Favorite color?
- Favorite Mythical Creature?
- Do they believe in an afterlife?
- Would they re-read a book?
- Hot or cold showers? Long or short?
- If they are alone and hear a noise, what would they do?
So, yeah! Here are ten questions you should ask. If you want more go here.
What your Character Bio should have

Hi Alex. I’m Hanna. I would love to read one of your books. What else have you written.

Hello, Hanna! Sadly, I have not published any of my writing yet, but I have written a story blog, called the Epiculo Forest. I update it whenever I can, which is normally once or twice every two or so weeks, it depends on my schedule. Here is the link if you want to go read it!
https://theepiculoforeststories.edublogs.org/
And if you want to read more of my writing, you can go to Wattpad, where I actually like to put my writing out there to see how the audience reading reacts to it, and if I should change anything in my writing before trying to publish it. My username there is I_AM_THE_FANGIRL. (I made my username when I was around 12 years old, and sadly I can’t change it, haha.)
Thanks for being interested! Hope you stay safe!
