Physical Features Brainstorm List
			Here I have compiled a list of body parts and possible adjectives you could use to describe them in a character description.  I have mainly included permanent traits more related to shape than color, but there are exceptions to this. Combine however many of them in the way that most suits your character.  Just remember that there is more to the way that your character looks than the standard hair color and length, eye color, and skin color.  Please do not feel limited by the presence or absence of any adjective or feature.
