Rene Hayashi asked Jen Flanagan:

Do you ever base your characters from people in your personal life?

Jen Flanagan Great question! Sometimes I get inspiration from people I know, but they undergo overhauls to fit the style and need of the book. Other times, they are just created by the story and developed for voice and interest.
