OK, what I like to do when I make a main character is write a paragraph about them in their point of view. I don't really use writing skills, so it's not vivid or anything. Just a little starting point.
I'm going to post one I just made and see if you guys think I should write the story. It would take place in either DS Cute, MFOMT, or MM. So, yeah. please read and give your opinion.
"My name is Idalia. I am 20 years old and I have Stendhal Syndrome. I absolutely despise guinea pigs. My guinea pig’s name is Brounswick. One month ago I passed out in the art museum. Then I moved to the country. To be exact, I moved to the country a week and three days ago."

"Stendhal syndrome, Stendhal's syndrome or Florence syndrome, is a psychosomatic illness that causes rapid heartbeat, dizziness, confusion and even hallucinations when an individual is exposed to art, usually when the art is particularly 'beautiful' or a large amount of art is in a single place. The term can also be used to describe a similar reaction to a surfeit of choice in other circumstances, e.g. when confronted with immense beauty in the natural world."
-Wikipedia
The reason she has a guinea pig is because she hates it's appearance. She's suddenly become paranoid of anything beautiful. So she gets an ugly pet. Inside though, she is really attached to it.

Okay, I've actually decided to revise that idea. The main character is going to be a woman, who moves to the country. I'm still deciding on whether or not she should have Stendhal Syndrome.

I think the Stendhal Syndrome gives it a nice twist; definitely something I would consider reading if it was portrayed properly.

Yeah, I'm actually putting that story on hold right now. The one I'm going to be working on came to me in a dream at the beginning of summer. I blew it off, but the dream came back to me again a few nights ago...so I'm definitely going to do it.
It's about ClairexLouis. He comes to visit Mineral Town for the summer and doesn't expect to fall in love with his total opposite.
