: Re: How to represent jealousy in a cute way? The main character (which is a girl) of the first romance I'm writing would feel jealous sometimes of her love interest, but I want it to be a cute

Jealousy isn't, and shouldn't be seen as, a cute trait. Is it human? Understandable? Absolutely. But make no mistake, the possessiveness of your fellow man, no matter how understandable, isn't a 'cute point'. It's a flaw.

And that's fine; treat it as a character flaw. There's nothing wrong with this, in fact, generally it gives characters depth. I think it's better to include the jealousy and treat it as a flaw than include jealousy and give the character a 'free pass'.
