Character

My marvelous main character's name is Savannah. She's 17, and is brave and deep in wanderlust. She has long dirty blonde hair and is a little higher than the average height. She lives on the west coast, and loves it there but it has worn on her- being her only home since she could remember. Her weakness is that she always puts other people's happiness before her own, and it causes some loss of friends and feuds when she finally decides to change that. Her pet peeves are stuck up people (who doesn't have that pet peeve, honestly.) and a couple others. She's a fairly accepting person, and seeks adventure more than often. Her parents are divorced and for the past 6 years her father has been living in Africa making a change out there, with her aunt and a couple of his friends. He recently passed away and that has a huge impact on Savannah, because her father was her idol and shes determined to travel to Africa and finish the change that he started and continue helping the less fortunate and exploring the world. Everyone is so caught up in reality around her, that shes desperate for a change and to flee away from her home to find herself and her sole purpose in life. She has a rather selfish mother, and an alright stepfather, along with his daughter who is 11 years old. Once she has her mind completely set on a goal, she'll get there no matter how much she has to sacrifice and no obstacle along the way can stop her anyhow.
