Core description

When writing a character description be precise and descriptive! What does your character care about? What do they do? What do they think about? How do they behave? 

Description
Princess Nectarine is a princess of the Truffle Kingdom and a video game character. She has been a damsel-in-distress in all the video games she's been in who keeps getting kidnapped by a bad guy,  King Browser of a neighboring kingdom, and then waiting for a plumber named Markio to come save her.

However, she's sick of being a damsel-in-distress and wants to save herself next time. She is extremely gentle but also adventurous and stubborn. She loves the color pink, the Truffle kingdom, her friends, and helping others. She loves to joke around and can be tough when she needs to be. She spent years becoming good at hand-to-hand combat and is very crafty. She wants to star in a video game where she saves herself.
