  She has a scar on her arm from a long ago childhood incident that she doesn't speak of since it was just a small accident. On the back of her neck is a tattoo of a heart and her mother's name, Therese.
  
  
  
• Personality
  
  She is a very determined individual. Her heart and soul belong to her music. She believes that if she practices enough and believes in it enough, she can do anything with her instrument. She loves to put a smile on anther's face with her music. She has a great love of not just music but of others. To inspire others, she smiles while playing her music and only plays songs that inspire others. She is outgoing and loves to talk to others as much as she possibly can. She sometimes forgets to let others talk. She is bubbly and happy. She is usually laughing with friends and seen smiling.
  
  
  Of course, not every person is all good. Under all that good is her darker side that comes out when she most does not want it to. This darker side streams from her thoughts and how she views the world. In her mind, she tends to put people who waste their intelligence away by doing nothing and the others for sitting in front of videos all day. She pretends that they don't annoy them, when....honestly she just wants to punch them. She gets annoyed easily and doesn't put up with a lot. She also does not handle her own anger very well. If she is angry, it is very evident.
  
  
  
• History
  
  As a young girl, Adair had always been fascinated with music. Her mother and father encouraged to keep her love of music and so she did. Her parents always told that she could do anything she wanted if she stayed strong and pushed through it. She kept at it and always believed what they said. When she first heard a violin, she knew that she was meant to play it and to bring it to life. She would listen to the violin being played for hours simply because she loved the sound of the music it made. Her teacher was a performer who had noticed how the young girl would always listen, even if there was no one else around. The performer offered to teach her how to play and she gladly accepted.
  
  
  Over the years of going to practice and learning how to play, it was clear that the girl had a talent for the instrument. After several competitions and several losses, Adair was ready to give up. Just at that moment, she learned that her parents had been fighting disease and would probably never hear her play again. This renewed her determination and she fought through the losses to give her parents one last performance, even if she lost. She couldn't let everything happen and not give them one last time to let their daughter play them a song. She would never know how much that meant to them.
  
  
  Even though she lost several competitions, she will always say that they were her greatest accomplishments because from them she learned how to be better at her instrument and because she had succeeded in her own mission. To her, the winning had nothing to do with what she was trying to get to. Her teacher, being proud that she had learned the value of music, praised her music and gave her hope that the next day would always be better. She would smile and agree for she knew that it was true.
  
  
  When her teacher died, instead of giving up, she put all of her effort to bring more music to the world and see others smile. That was her new mission and she would not stop until it was completed.

Andair Kendrik is a wonderful character with many great motivations.


It's not often that I see a character whose motivations are invoked through music and a passion.

I'm getting a huge Bard feeling from her but overall, I can sort of feel that love for music she has and


how she loves making others happy with it. There is plenty to like here and its well met!


I'm glad you added a negative to her character as she at first seemed a tad one dimensional but


her inner feelings make her so much more interesting. She loves to make people happy and she


has an issue with anger. She hates it when people waste away and this goes with with how Adair


herself is a hard worker in what she loves to do. It would make sense for her to have a reason for


feeling the way she does in that regard. Great job in that aspect.


History


It seems a lot like this story could be actually based on true events.


That's always a nice factor to have as it just adds to the believably.


The ups and downs that we all have are there and it's balanced and


for her character, I think it flows smoothly for who she ended up being.


The motivations are there. Her character is justified and that's great!


While everything seems to be nice and bundled up, it seems as if though


the story is meant to pretty much end there. Not saying that it's a bad


thing that it does end with a nice bundle but that there could be more


perhaps something she was never told of or learned with the death


of some close people. What more changed in her and perhaps what else


could have happened to open up a new chapter to her story other than


'Now she just wants to make people happy'


This is a completely valid motivation but for me, personally


I'd think there would be room for something more.


Equipment: A Violin.


While this is quick simple and pretty much gets the point out there, I can't help but feel


that a tad more could be added here. Maybe an image of it's design or more details about it.


Is there anything special about it that hasn't been mentioned or what other significance does it have.


Skills: Gifted Music, Kind.


This pretty ... empty. She has have more skills than just being good at music and kind...


What about her determination and willpower to keep going? Though, I'm not sure but perhaps


what she learned in her classes and studies could be listed as 'Skills' since skills in our world are like...


"Coding" and "Calculus" and stuff along those lines, again, just an idea.


Final Critique


The character is pretty well fleshed out and nothing really seems to stand out that


makes me want to say "what." and that's a great thing. You did a wonderful job


telling this characters story as it was condensed and well presented but I do think


more could be established for her as she is well off, a few things do go unchecked.


I think more details in the conflicts department toward the end of her history for


the story to continue on would be good.


Perhaps more details about her family and origin of the instrument


she uses and perhaps the 'cliche' special reason she uses THAT instrument. Again, this is


merely my input and I do hope you considered my thoughts.


Wonderful character!

I have no clue what to say but thank you. I will most certainly keep those things in mind.
