When writing an application please be as specific as you can about their appearances and personality. What I mean is please do not use words with such broad terms.
Word like:
'dark'
'light'
'sort of'
'maybe'
'short'
'long'
'big'
'little'
'hazel'
Those are only a few words, but you understand what I mean. The application should be definite details about the character; if they weren't facts that have no need to be in the application and as such only makes it longer than necessary.
If you have any questions or concerns about what I am talking about please speak up and ask. I won't bite you.
