He had a square face with a round nose and cheeks that puffed out just a bit. Tufts of light brown hair fell out over his ears and down his forehead, almost obscuring his muddy green eyes. His nose was small and inconspicuous, hovering over thin lips that were often pursed in an inquisitive manor. A slight fuzz of hair was barely visible above his upper lip. His hunched shoulders produced a somewhat meek stature, at odds with his height. Though he was nearing the end of his teenage years, he had not yet shaken the clumsy mismanagement of his limbs that came with puberty. Despite his generally disinterested demeanor, he was capable of a broad smile showcasing rows of straight white teeth.
He looked like a cross between a playful young child and a pensive old philosopher.
Wow- the first description was great. I really like the line "not yet shaken the clumsy mismanagement of his limbs that came with puberty".
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kasey, I think the line about his awkward limbs was great. The whole description is very powerful, and one to which I can certainly relate - he sounds like a teenager that we all know.
