Making a character requires a lot more effort than I expected. It's not just deciding how they will look, but thinking why they will look this way, and how will this reflect their inner personality.
The main character is definitely going to be a female. However, I had to decide what makes her stick out from the rest of the women in order to get this empowering message across and show that you don't need to fit into the classic "standards" to succeed.
I tried to find common physical characteristics of empowering women, but what I ended up finding was so much better. Instead I found a website that explained the qualities that these powerful women share. So I decided to build on this and made a mood board with colors that represented confidence, intelligence, and approachableness.
Considering the film is going to be a rom-com, there has to be a love interest. Although the romance most likely won't be able to be caught in the opening of the film, everyone knows a rom-com when they see one so I figured the love interest must be discussed. I'm still deciding how he can add to the theme, but I think that will become easier once I've settled on a plot.
