@planet_leesti All of that will help shape the character even if none of it finds its way onto the page

@planet_leesti I do in most of my longer stories. I don't always for shorts.
People tend to treat us differently/make certain assumptions about us based on what we look like. That will in turn effect how we approach situations and interact with people, what expectations they have of us, etc.

I loathe shopping.
I hate driving there, parking there, spending ages finding your size, sweating in a tiny changing room with nowhere to sit to take your shoes off, discovering you're two sizes bigger than you thought, finding out it had been mistakenly put on the sale rail and

bought what basically amounts to a school uniform and will look like a 14 year old who has had a horrendously difficult life. Hate it. Hate it all.
