Elsa Chang

I recently got into contact with Elsa Chang who is a character designer.
I wanted to ask advice on how to recreate Alice. Elsa reminded me that personality is an important factor in the creation of characters. I realise I had forgotten this in my haste to simply create one, I had not thought of Alice's personality. I had not thought about the story that I'm trying to tell.
So, to create a target again, i decided upon the Alice that I wished to represent. I want to create a naive and curious Alice. Now I must create physical representations of these personality traits in order to successfully create a character based on personality.
