How Do I Look?
When I sit down to write a book, I start out with an idea or image in my head of what my characters look like. But as I write, I let the characters take me wherever they go. And as their personalities come out more and more throughout the book, that image can change and become more defined.
The same thing happens when I read a book. Images of the characters form in my head. However, discussing a book with other people who have read it, I have discovered that not everyone has the same idea as to how each character looks. Even if we all agree on hair and eye color (the author usually give you that), we don’t always agree on everything else.
That got me to thinking. And I wondered what images you see when you think about my Shadow Falls characters. I have posted pictures of Kylie, Lucas & Derek, so you may have a pretty firm idea of how they look. But what about the other characters? What about Della? Miranda? Burnett? I thought it would be fun to post some photos of possible characters and let you vote on them. So, today, we are going to see what you think Della and Miranda look like.
First, let’s go with what we know. Della is Asian and has dark hair and eyes. Kylie thought she was a goth at first because she had that whole pale vampire thing going on. But what does she look like to you?

Now, how about Miranda? Well, she has black, lime green and pink hair. Of course hair color can change, and it was hard to find photos of girls with multi-colored hair. So, you’ll have to give me a little on that one. So, which one looks most like Miranda to you?

Della #3, Mirands #1. Boom.
I think the #1 looks like my Della and #3 for Miranda. But speaking of other characters is it just me or do you think Karl Urban would be a perfect Burnett?
I vote for Della #3 because the other 3 are too innocent looking and Della is more badass, dangerous looking and total kickass personality which is the look that Della #3 is giving. Plus the other 3 look more pure Asian blood and #3 looks like she’s mixed. So yeah Della #3Okay now on to Miranda. This decision was a lot harder than Della’s, because none of them fit the Miranda in my head. But I finally decided on either Miranda #2 or #3. Miranda #2 because she looks more like a flirt; but she doesn’t look innocent enough or clueless enough for Kylie and Della to keep little and some big stuff from her sometimes. But if you pick Miranda #3 then you have that innocent look, but not so much the flirty look. So I say get a mix of Miranda #2 and #3 or just go with #2.
So Basically
DELLA #3 & MIRANDA #2
Della 1: Della in the books would never be caught reading or studying books and Miranda 1 she suits the Miranda in the books
Della is number three and Miranda is #1!!!
Della *3 because she looks like a bad girl and looks pale, just like i pictured Della looking.Miranda *1 because she kinda looks like a witch. If she would have the hair color like it says in the books, then she would look just like i pictured her. The other one's look too geeky.
Della 3 and Miranda 2 (but with all of the colors)
Della 1 or 3 and Miranda 1...Very hard to really chose, because in my head the pictures are all so unique...
