9. The worst and best moment of their life so far.
Moments with his mother. Moments with his father.

10. How would they react if a stranger offered them a lift?
Smile kindly and shake his head, he would prefer to walk.

11. How would they react if they saw a child, crying and alone?
He would feel sad, but be too frightened to approach the child.

12. How would they react if they found a purse full of large denomination notes?
He wouldn't bother picking it up, if he did, he might hand it in to the police. That or it would sit on his shelf and make him feel guilty. He wouldn't use the money unless of an emergency.

13. Think about introducing your character to someone you know at a party – what single sentence would you use to tell someone about them?
This is Andrew! He's shy, but you'll love him, I just know it!

14. Write down everything you can think of about your character that has not been mentioned in either list.
Mother was sexually abusive. He is frightened of children, and is edgy around the police. He's good at painting and loves art, but he hates to be anything like his mother so he pretends he doesn't like it. He's friendly, but does not gather many friends, except for David, who knows about his past. He wants to be someone, and is afraid he wont be remembered, but he's not willing to do what it takes to be that someone.
