This is one of my sparradic challenge threads. I do these when I want to challenge myself or I'm feeling starved for a certain type of thing in writing (ie, imagery).
For this one, I'm trying to challenge myself to show my character more. She's the main character from a saga I'm working on. I'm not connecting to her right now, so I figure I need to build her a little bit.
So the rules for this thread: Posts at least 25 words. Okay, a word or two shy is okay, but I'm trying to avoid one-liners. Make your character show through. (If you have trouble with this, just follow my examples) Imagery somewhat, plz (describe char and whatnot)
-----------
A girl of fourteen laid in the middle of the forest, passed out. Her fiery red hair was splayed out all around her like a burning halo. She had her right arm covering her eyes and sh shuddered a bit. A silver charmbracelet glinted in the bright noonday sunlight.

A humanoid figure that resembled a hedgehog, walked along the path, his ice blue eyes looking around at the scenery. He only wore shoes and gloves. The hedgehog turned and saw the girl in the middle of the woods. He walkd over to her. He looked at her. He leaned down and slightly shook her shoulder.

The girl's eyes snapped open and she sat up, looking around wildly. Her eyes were bright green and piercing. She had no idea where she was. It didn't look or feel anything like Isera's forest and the weird creature next to her...

The hedgehog smiled, glad to see her awake, or even alive. "Hey, something wrong?" He saw that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what it was. "I'm Nathan."

"What are you?" Her voice wobbled a bit with the fear she was clearly trying to suppress. She glared at him. Though she was scared, she was clearly a fiery soul that wouldn't be able to tamed.

Nathan nodded a bit. "Most people don't know about my kind. I'm half- animal, half- human. Like a Pokemorph, but with animals from my world, like hedgehogs. That's what I am." He lookd at his clock. "i'll be late for lunch.."

She blinked, her eyes wide. "What...the hell is a Pokemorph...?" She shook her head. "This is impossible... Goddess, help me..."

"Well, do you know about Pokemon and things like that?" Nathan adjusted his spikes on the back of his head. He dusted himself offd and stood up.

"What...the hell is a Pokemon...?" She stood up, backing up until she was standing against a tree. She closed her eyes, then nodded. "Right... That anime that's popular for Goddess knows how many years..."

"She's dead," Jana said. She licked her lips as she looked to the sky. The sun was setting and she could see one star. Though she was in a completely strange world, at least Star and Moon hadn't abandoned her. That had been her biggest fear.

"Oh." He looked down. "Well, I guess that's what happens when you don't have any friends or parents... You don't get important info like that."

"Was all over the news, talk of the world..." she muttered, clearly getting the information from elsehwere. She was extremely unfamiliar with the world, but her information intake hadn't been affected at all.

She flicked her hair behind her ear and smoothed out her jeans. "Well then, I'm going. No need to stick around. I need to figure out where I am and why I'm here. Dynth must have done something..." She started to walk away, her red hair like a brand of fire in the fading light.
