Week 1 - A short character sketch concentrating on appearance and any particular mannerisms.

Felicity is a typical teenager, entirely focussed on herself. Her clothes are the current teenage uniform, black jeggings, an overlarge plaid shirt in shades of black and blue and on her feet, genuine Ugg boots, despite the fact that it's a beautiful warm autumn day. Over the back of her chair is a black quilted jacket with a blue woollen hat poking out of the pocket. She is practically identical to the two girls on either side of her.

She is holding court with at least one of them, who appears to be hanging on her every word. The other girl is being distracted by a small boy on her other side. Felicity is using most of her lithe young body to maintain her companions attention. Her kohl lined eyes widen with every comment she makes and her hands and arms are as vocal as her voice. More than once her hands cover those wide eyes to express distress. She never covers her mouth when she laughs, rather she throws her head back in a gesture of great, good humour. Felicity is far more concerned about the impression she is making than the actual content of the conversation.
