Ta Da! And now for the main event!
Willow Brown is the heart of An Ordinary Fairy. You can read the brief description of her in the book summary, but here's a little more information: she's blonde, beautiful, has small dark brown eyes and a very muscular build, which accounts for her relatively high weight to height ratio. Oh yes, she has wings - dragonfly wings, though hers are attached differently than they are on the primitive insect, which allows them to pivot down her back. Hence, a Dragon fairy (such as she is) can dress in normal street clothes and conceal their true nature. They wear a lot of loose clothes to conceal the hump where the wings connect and can't wear backless or thin outfits. More on fairy lore in a separate post.
Originally Willow was loosely based on a real person, but very soon after I started writing she became her own person. My image of her detached itself from the person and took on a life of its own. Actually, Willow's entire character (not just appearance) evolved as I wrote. She became shorter, stouter, and cursed with issues, which cause some friction between her and Noah. She became a computer geek (she's an expert hacker), and is handy with tools.
Willow was the very first character to be imagined. She just popped into my head one day, and the rough story line and the other main character, Noah Phelps, soon followed.
