I'm not certain I describe characters, as such. Odd lack, but laziness inculcated by fanfic written without an outside POV I suppose.

However:
1. She was a dark, squat figure, given to decided opinions and decided occupation of space, not pleasant save when smiling, and then often spoilt by a certain slyness of expression that sat uneasily upon the round, good-natured face not overly changed since childhood. Perhaps the hair had once been more profuse, or the body slimmer, in early youth, but the earnest child lingered in the determined chin, and looked out from the large bespectacled eyes, and persisted also in the ungainly gait and unformed hand-writing. Some early accident of betrayal had left her with a deep cynicism and as deep a generosity: expecting little of most, she was easily pleased and easily surprised.

I can't tell, really, whether I think very well of myself, or very badly.

16. Well, mostly column B, but I'm trying very hard for Column A as my stories seem to finally have decided they'd like some plot to go along with the vignettes.
