A List of 500 Character Quirks and Traits

List 1

**We've all had writer's block before. It's one of the most frustrating things ever, and we can all agree on that, right?! I wrote this a few years ago, and I never thought I would be able to help so many people. Thank you all SO much for the awesome feedback and support you've given. Lastly, thank you for helping me get this list ranked to #2 in this genre! I am planning on coming up with new quirks, organized into different categories, so please keep an eye out. 

Thanks again,
