Wow. I've been rping for 2 or more years now but I came back to Snitchseeker after a long time! I'm glad! Anyway when I looked at my profile, all I saw was her name is Jewel Rivera and she is shy and smart. She's also a muggleborn. Honestly Jewel Rivera is now overrated for me. I've been naming almost all my characters Jewel Rivera *shudders* I also used Jewel as a name a lot... I wanted to change it but her surname for me was good enough. As I was thinking, I'm not really sure what name I should use that's not commonly used. I don't know. Suddenly the name Raine popped into my mind. I guess it's because I watched this show and the main female character's name is Raine. lol. I was just tired and it seems to me that the name was good enough so I just used it. RR. lol.

Wait I suddenly remembered I need a middle name so I searched one right now and I decided to use Charity for her. Now it's RCR :p

Anyway I didn't realize it now but I think her name really suits her well. I found out information about Raine.

Also Rivera is something water so anyway....

I didn't change her blood status as a muggleborn since I know there's a lot of pureblood out there. I decided I wanted something new and not that popular. Her personality is still under construction right now but I know practical as well as shy and smart are there. I came across practical when I am rping at some shops and I think that's perfect for her. The downside about being practical is she's NOT practical if it comes about books. I might make her similar to me yet different. I'll just see.

Now about celebrity. I came across the celeb list and I wondered what celeb should I use. My mind came to Song Hye Kyo first but I realized she's a Korean and she doesn't have any Spanish blood in her. She just doesn't look like one. I need someone looking Spanish because of her last name Rivera. Anyway I saw Alexis Bledel's name and I decided she fits well. At that time her look just seems great but as I learned Alexis mom is Mexican and her dad Argentine with Danish descent (from wikipedia) so now she's perfect.

Wait... Wow. Weehh. A lot of ideas coming into my mind right now.

I think everyone already gave you all the information about creating a character. Every person is different. Sometimes I come up with a celeb first but there are times I come up with a name first and I start from there. Usually though I just get a random name and a celeb that I just like. haha. Good thing it fits them. Anyway I've learn a lot in terms of creating a new charrie and I'm still learning. Who knows I might get more ideas when I continued reading this thread
