Will you rate my character description?
YEs well it STILL sounds painfully cliche. I'm sorry, but you can make a much more interesting character w/a hard life just by adding some quirky characteristics - make her seem more real. Plus, I'd stay away from Orphanages - try foster families. I feel like this whole thing would be more convincing if she wasn't kidnapped, but molested and abused by a foster dad. Kidnapping is very serious, hard to pull off and brings the whole criminal charges, reaaaallly big deal, missing child thing into it. Even if it's fantasy, try to keep the situations realistic. Plus, though you might be attached to it, I would stay away from Anastasia. It's not disney princessy enough to be legitimately funny, but not sweet and innocent enough to actually be used as a name by perfect parents. Its a mouth full, and it seems like it would be used by more edgy parents. Try something like Anne, or Clara-Marie or, if you want to go with big, try an unused disney type name, like Daphne or Anette or something. As for being shy, it seems like a girl in this situation would be more fierce, like she's trying to prove she can take care of herself and nobody can mess with her. Like she's really hurt and sad inside, but has snide comments and weird habits.
