This is a way to build a character with consideration to what this person is like on many different levels. I am using the 7 Chakra system that has been around for over 6,000 years. I'll cover each chakra for Aislinn in a separate post.
Name of character: Aislinn
Chakra 1 is located in the groin and relates to security/survival issues
Aislinn has so often had her security compromised that it is difficult for her to trust. She developed keen observation skills because of this as well.
Although Aislinn is Faerie, she was born and grew up in the mortal (human) world. Her mother, Neala, left her or was harmed or killed - she eenver knew for certain - when she was a toddler. Having no family or other connections, the child was alone for a few days until a neighbor discovered her.
From that point throughout her childhood, she was shuffled from one foster home to another. She did not fit in well with children as she moved with cat-like grace, not the typical awkward movements of childhood.
The effect of all this on her life now, as a young woman of 20, is that she has never felt truly safe. This is where we meet her in Rue the Day - and she has little reason to feel safe in her true home of Faerie either, considering that her life is in danger!
