I agree with like...everything in this thread. ESPECIALLY ANNA because she literally took the words out of my mouth.

Right now I'm teaching 12 year olds, so the same age as Caleb, which is great for inspiration haha. But as far as skill level goes, I think it's important to remember that even if you have a character who is SUPER DOOPER SMART and knows everything - that's just as realistic as a firstie who doesn't know much at all. I teach writing, and there are some kids in my class who could literally write college essays right now. Not many, but a few. Then there's a few who are way, wayyyy behind as well and need a bit of extra help to catch up. It is totally possible to have a smarty pants first year who DOES know everything simply because they paid attention to their surroundings when they grew up, or read a lot growing up, etc. It's not unheard of, but it is nice to see people struggle a bit. Caleb didn't like it when I did that to him, but it was fun having him NOT know EVERYTHING.

As far as face models don't even ask my opinion because I am TERRIBLE at picking out models haha. There's a reason I usually start my RP charries at 5th year haha.
