Who Inspired My Main Character

Vanessa Marano Pictures

Today I wish to share some information about my main character Hannah David, who is inspired by the amazing actress Vanessa Marano.

HOW DID I CHOOSE MY MAIN CHARACTER'S NAME

I originally name her Stormy Ann David.
But I want to get the idea that she descended from King David is the bible so in the 2nd draft named her Hannah David.

DID I MAKE ANY CONSCIOUS DECISIONS ABOUT HER APPEARANCE?

Vanessa Marano with her performance in the TV series Switch at Birth inspired my character in looks and maybe behaviors.  I'm not sure Hannah acts like anything like Vanessa's character Bay now.  But if I picked an actress to preform Hannah, Vanessa Marano would be my dream pick.

There a little bit about Hannah.
