Nice one! :)

I do notice a curious lack of bastardly heroines though! You guys surely must have some favorites.

What is the definition of a bastardly heroine?

Should he be reckless? Self-centered? But nevertheless does some good without willing it?

I just meant that all of the suggested descriptions have been of male characters so far.

I suspect it's largely because the majority of female characters in fantasy fiction are described entirely by their clothing (or lack thereof).

Let's give it a try...

She has brown, unkept hair and dirty face. Her eyes are narrow like she's constantly mad at the world.

She is older than Arya and from another TV show.

Okay, one more tip though -- don't begin a description with "he" or "she" ... Instead, make a statement about what or who she actually is. If we indeed had talked about Arya then "A young girl with brown, unkempt hair and dirty face" gives a much better picture of the character. Try and modify your description for just that extra punch of flavor.

Okay, a bit edited version :)

That's way better, but I can't think of any dirty faced females aside from Arya off the top of my head.

I'll tell who she is a bit later in case someone else wants to guess. As a hint both characters I have posted are somehow connected.
