THE VELVET RAYS OF A RARE WINTER SUN.

Reflective. Frosted. Archival.

Snow-soft. Stone-cold. Sea-churning.

Enduring. Introspective. Hushed.

DESCRIPTION:

This is a whopping fourteen-page Google Doc template designed to be used for a single muse. Did I get carried away? One might say...absolutely. But for those of us who are yappers and still want a pretty lil template to house the mountains of words that spew out when we get excited about a new character...well, here we are. On the other hand, this can be very easily slimmed down for those who want a more streamlined approach.

Complexity Level: It's definitely toeing the line of a bit advanced haha.

Page Order: Cover, TL;DR, overview, appearance x2, personality x2, details x2, backstory x2, and relationships x3.

TIPS ON MAKING IT YOUR OWN:

• For full editing capabilities, you will need to access this template on a computer. Templates are viewable on mobile if you toggle the "Print Layout" option (likely to be found in the top-right menu).
• Text, colors, and layout elements can be adjusted to fit your needs. Nonetheless, do not remove the linked emoji (page one) and credit links (page eleven and fourteen) that direct to my Tumblr.
• Elements are added as a mix of images and Google "drawings". Editing drawings requires double-clicking them first. This will open the drawing editing window.
• Avoid copy-pasting images directly into the document, as this may disrupt the formatting. Always use the "Replace Image" function instead.
• Be mindful of text limits and the sizes of text boxes, as exceeding what is already in the template can disrupt the formatting.
• The "Backstory" page is formatted in a way that will allow you to use more pages without any formatting issues. The text will simply continue on in a two-column manner and push the last page back. However, the background image and lil middle line don't go automatically onto each new page, so you'll need to manually add that. You may also choose to add decorative foreground images to these pages, but that is up to your discretion. Not having images in the master template was the smoothest way to ensure your backstory length could continue on however long without ruining any formatting.

YOU WILL RECEIVE:

• A PDF with a link to the template's Google Doc.
• This includes instructions on how to make your own copy and protect it properly.
• A PDF with usage instructions and troubleshooting support options.

NOTES:

• The faceclaim pictured here is Deva Cassel.
• Page two was inspired by this pin.
• I had to compress the file size of the ninth photo (pic with every slide) to fit to this site's requirements, so apologies that the colors are a bit wonky in that one.
