Which kind of character? Like the traditional pampered rich girl, or the cliche honest and good rich girl?

PM me.

I'm usually no good with names. I go to google (or whatever search engine you may prefer) and search things like "cool girl/boy names" "unique girl/boy names" "fantasy girl/boy names" "popular girl/boy names" depending on what sort of story I'm writing. You can get a lot of sights with a lot of names.

I would definitely avoid "rich" stereotypes, because not all rich people are mean, snobby etc. I think rich people may take things for granted, but I imagine a few downsides:

-- What if she goes on fabulous holidays all the time, but feels homesick, or just hates the constant interruptions to her normal routine? I, for one, would hate that.
-- What if she's rich enough to be in a socialite-type "class", but is below average income for that group, so despite having more money than most people, she still feels left out? Despite the fact that she's taking things for granted, readers would probably still have sympathy for her?
-- What if her parents got rich through an occupation that doesn't appeal to her (doctors and she doesn't like blood, lawyers and legal stuff bores her...)? And they're pushing her to do the same thing?
-- What if she's sent to expensive after school activities every day of the week, but hates them all (no... too clichey! Hating all is unrealistic, but hating some of them would be better)/gets exhauster/would rather do something else?
-- What if her parents are overprotective, or so rich that she needs a bodyguard? She could also be scared of the threats, or think they're overreacting with the security, but I think a combination of both would be more realistic (hates the privacy intrusion but secretly really frightened).
