: Re: Physical description of characters Does a physical description have to be specific to make a character feel real, or can the physical description be general and the details be left to the reader's

I certainly agree with Mark. Not much to add. But always remember POV. Who's telling the story?

Without a doubt Emma Richards was the most beautiful girl in the world.

A valid opinion if your narrator is a love-struck high-school boy.

And, for me, "relative" description are far better than specific facts.

Mr. Roberts was 6'2" but his wife was only 5'4

That is a rather bland statement of fact.

"You don't want to be late on your first day," said Mrs Roberts, wrapping the scarf around her husband's neck and standing on tip-toes to kiss his cheek.

This conveys the required information without pausing the story.
