Children's Book Character Design Questionnaire

Let's bring your character to life. Describe your character the way you see them in your imagination. The more detail you provide, the more accurately our creative team can develop your vision.

1

About Your Character

If they're an animal or creature, tell us their approximate age or how old you imagine them to be.

Imagine you're introducing this character to someone who has never met them before. Who are they? What are they like?

2

What Do They Look Like?

For example: their big smile, curly hair, glasses, bright eyes, freckles, funny ears, or colorful clothes.

What color is it? Is it short, long, curly, straight, messy, braided, fluffy, spiky, etc.?

These are the details that make your character recognizable, such as a birthmark, missing tooth, floppy ear, or special glasses.

Body & Proportions

For example: very large ears, tiny feet, long tail, short arms, big paws, wings, distinctive walk, missing tooth, glasses, or a unique tail shape.
