I need to lock down Gwen' s height. Does she get her hope of being over 5ft? Or did calling herself a pixie ruin that chance?

More importantly, will her ears grow pointy…?

I wasn't going to say anything: I rarely interfere with creative flow, but since you asked. Gwen's over voluptuousness combined with shortness makes her a stereotype. If you're drawing on decades of dumb and sexy, that's fine and I'm along for the ride. If not, you need to do something to not get caught in the troupe. If overly endowed is in the works, look to Sophia Vergara, a tall woman who's added two cup sizes during the run of her TV program. As for self-definition via curse/whatever. Did you say it was irreversible? That's interesting, but NOT as interesting if she/he can make changes. The latter gives lost of dramedy (drama + comedy) opportunities as changes are literal interpretations instead of intent.

I think stereotypes are going to be playing a role in the story, in general. Gwen has her biases that are kinda guiding her, and how that affects her. Also there is her reacting to other people's preconceived notions, and how others treat her. I think this is a interested area to explore, even if a stereotype. Although, I'll note, since I've said this elsewhere, Gwen won't become a dumb blonde. As for the rest, I'll be more vague. He words still have power, but some traits are starting to settle and going to take hold. I'm not going to say that anything is 100% set in stone at this moment. There are a lot of different paths to go down. Last thought on height. I realize that from my last story, Harper ended pretty short, and Gwen is pretty short. It's been in my head for a while that at least the next story I put out will have a taller protagonist.

Good, you're doing one of my fave things...playing with stereotypes. i'm good with it. I have to, I do it all the time with my "Causality is Optional" novels.

By my calculator, the average height voted for would be 5'1" exactly - the height with the least votes!
