I was basing Veronica off of legends of a ghost girl in a radio station don't ask who is seen as a black apparition but sometimes as an ordinary girl with a bullet wound. I can probably just have her become an apparition when scared or something as a compromise
Veronica also is tied to the place. She can't leave. I probably should put that in other. I thought that would be a cool thing to put down to make her story even sadder.
@DemonGoddess, the ghosts in this storybook can't really become apparitions even if they're scared. Like I said in my last post, they're just like normal people. I'm sorry, but that wouldn't work with this storybook. That's the same thing with being tied to the place. If they're tied to the place they died, the ghosts would have never met and wouldn't be going to various haunted places together.
I was thinking that the external death wounds could be a sad thing! They'd be something really personal for the ghostly half of the cast, and would also provide a heartbreaking visual aspect as well.
If anyone wants to see a character profile to reference when making their own, I posted one for my ghostly gal Lottie. Once more characters are in and we have more participants for the storybook, I was thinking we could each write up a post about the relationships between our characters and the others that fall in that category. For example, I'd write about Lottie and Veronica's relationship, as well as Lottie and @Elinor's character's relationship.
Millie is done! Let me know if anything needs changing.

@saentiel I was thinking our two characters would have a very interesting relationship since they're both physically fifteen but Kirsten has been a ghost since the 1950s so she's old enough to be your character's grandmother.

@ThemagicalEbonyFox, I put you down for a ghost hunter! Since we have things evened out more now, I think I might start this storybook up soon. If people become interested in joining, we can figure out ways to add them in.
@Steggy, Millie looks perfect! I can't wait to see her in ghost-hunting action.
@Elinor, I agree! It would be really interesting to see them interact with each other, and it would be cool figuring out how they became friends in the first place.
When, chronologically, did you want this to start?
I'm a fan of developing the relationships between our characters and figuring out how we all met and became friends/figure out how they ended up in the penitentiary/maybe writing up some posts. I'm not sure what you had in mind.
I've done google docs for storybooks in the past where we all find a time that works and get together to figure this out, but whatever works for you!
Maybe, as a new ghost, Lottie stumbles on Kirsten aimlessly wandering in the woods, and they find Veronica together?
