CHARACTER
FROM THE PAGE
Unruly
orange hair fluffed out like a dandelion, and patches of baldness
gleamed like polished bone. Grizzled facial hair sprouted to form
unkempt bushy sideburns. His narrow pointed face was deathly pale
like a porcelain doll, but marked with freckles on his cheeks and
purplish bags under his eyes.Ambiguously impish emerald irises danced
with laughter, betraying any notion of age-worn immortality. His
small pug nose and satellite dish ears decorated a slim, dainty
figure. Lady-like fingers held a green Abraham Lincoln-style hat in
his right hand, proffering welcome or wickedness. My heart danced an
Irish jig. He was a Leprechaun!

This simply draws the reader in John, excuse the pun! An exciting piece of characterisation which really brings this drawing to life! Keep up the excellent writing as your 100 WC tasks simply get better and better!
