Main character, a pioneer girl attending a winter dance

Sarah Jane Rowley

About 14 years old — face still softly rounded at the cheeks but beginning to lose childhood fullness, standing at the edge of young womanhood. Slender and slight, neither tall nor short for her age — a lean, girlish frame still growing into itself. Skin: Fair, with cheeks flushed a vivid rosy pink from the winter cold. Hair: Deep, dark brown — nearly black, Pinned up carefully for the dance in a simple updo with a few loose strands escaping around her face and neck from the cold and movement. Face: Bright, dark watchful eyes that catch the light — alert and observant; a small, straight nose; a naturally serious mouth that breaks easily into a quick, shy smile. Rosy cheeks that deepen sharply in the cold; the loose dark strands falling from her pinned hair give her a slightly windswept look; breath visibly puffing in small clouds in the night air; her shawl is clutched or wrapped tightly at the front with one hand as she steps out into the snow. Always in the SAME outfit every scene: Simple, modest wool dress in a muted color such as deep navy or charcoal gray, reaching to the ankles; a warm cream or oatmeal-colored wool shawl draped over her shoulders and crossed at the chest; sturdy brown leather lace-up boots with small heels, practical and well-worn.

Reference description (sent with every page)

About 14 years old — face still softly rounded at the cheeks but beginning to lose childhood fullness, standing at the edge of young womanhood.

Life stages

The same Sarah Jane Rowley at every age they appear in the series. Draw a stage to age it from the canonical likeness, or pin a real photo to the stage it actually shows — even an old one — and the younger stages age down from it. Give each stage an outfit (clothes are era and station — a boy in England dresses nothing like a father in Utah) and every page at that age keeps it. Lock a stage once it's right so it's never redrawn. Each is generated once and reused across every book.
