This month, the character chosen was an obstacle character. What is an obstacle character?
An obstacle character is any character who stands in the way of the protagonist as he/she moves toward his/her goal. Obstacle characters are generally not the main antagonist, but could be anyone from a villain's minion to a random stranger in the street to the protagonist's best friend. Regardless of who the obstacle character is, his/her beliefs or own desires or goals set him/her in the protagonist's way.Originally, I thought I would do a character from my own stories. But then I decided I didn't want to reveal too much about that character yet. Sorry.
Luckily, my friend in Washington and I took a Goldstone Wood photo-shoot, and here is the character I chose for this month!
ROSE RED

Certainly, Rose Red doesn't seem like she should be an obstacle character! She's Leo's truest friend! But the Lady of Dreams whispers in Leo's mind that the goat girl stands in the way of his dream. Also, Daylily, his betrothed, sees Rosie as a threat to herself, and wishes Leo would send her away. As time passes and peril becomes ever more eminent, Leo is forced to choose between Rosie's friendship and the respect of his entire kingdom...
Read the story of Rose Red and Leo in Anne Elisabeth Stengl's books, Veiled Rose and Moonblood!

That picture is really neat! You made me want to read Stengle's all the more now.
I should get back to doing Characters in Costume on my own blog too.
Lovely picture! You truly captured Rose Red. I'm so glad you did one of Anne Elisabeth Stengl's characters. I absolutely love her books. :)
Cool picture! It makes me really want to read those books. :)
Rosie! Oh, wait, it's you, Hannah. Lol, nice picture.
Thank you! It was a lot of fun to do! And yes, all of you who haven't read the books really should!
