How do you make a memorable, sexy female character? Beyond T&A here, I'm talking about memorable. Someone readers really want to know more about?

Characters I presume you mean personality’s of some sort if so here is a few.

Zeana and Gabriele. What do they really get up to between battles.

Mullder and Scully where could those guns be put other than in the holsters and how is it that they always have a torch?

The charmed trio could make an interesting episode.

Give her some brains. Readers cannot sustain an interest in air-heads with enormous silicone appendages for very long.

This is very true lay out the person in your mind and if you could be interested in the person in your mind then maybe others would be also

Sexy female characters

Hi Sweet,

I agree with the posts that say to make a female character sexy and memorable she should have some intelligence and should not just be perfect boobs and ass. This, in my opinion applies to male characters as well.

I think sexiness is something that a person projects and is not necessarily limited to the way she looks. I like to add some depth to my characters personality because I for one cannot stand stories where the female or male are just perfect in every way physically and just like to fuck. They need to be real, with genuine emotional needs and flaws and all of that stuff to be credible and for readers to identify with them.

Of course this is only my opinion and many may think differently, but I get a fair amount of feedback where readers refer to my characters as though they are real. That makes me think that perhaps I'm getting there.

Snooper is always right, even when he is wrong. His talent as a writer gives him the wisdom to give good advice.

I think a last name and a job also make a character real.

And maybe puting them in a specific town or city, real or made up. That sort of 'grounds' the story a bit.
 
you are right reality makes a story work and i think the same must be of characters.

Vulnerability I find adds to realism some times...

The same way you make a memorable, sexy male character, or a memorable, sexy alien charcter, or a memorable, sexy ghost character. Make the character believable, a real person rather than a stereotype, someone that make the reader want to invest some time in finishing the story.

I don't know that you necessarily need to give the character a job and a house -- a little mystery is a good thing. A story about an enigmatic female drifter passing through a small town would probably work quite well. "Memorable" and "sexy" won't arise from a description or a biography; it will naturally evolve from the actions, thoughts, and dialogue of the character herself.

good point- even superman has kryponite
 
Quick note, I like Smallville too and it aint for the boy wonder. He is good looking if that is appropriate to say being strait.

A real catch too sweeets, is in the name. You need a name that stands out Like "Veronica, Victoria, Gabriel" Then they do not get mixed up in every day names as an ordinary person. Just as "Clark" is not a common name. "Zander, Buffy, Zena, Tarzan, Conan," Just a few more examples names people remember as set to the character. Or give the character a good pet name that sticks out like a sore thumb, "Bingo, JR, Bozo, Cat, Elvira, Phildo".
 
I agree with what you said phildo you need a name that stands out and good character developement. speaking of uncommon names let's not forget I have a gorgeous, blonde girlfriend nicknamed buffy and there is nothing smallville about her if you know what I mean? And please be nice phildo no jokes:)
 
I'd echo what others have said, with this addition.
Remember that you are writing a story NOT A MOVIE.
Too many people writing amature erotic stories these days
take movies as their models. T&A go only so far in movies,
but seeing a sexy woman pictured on the screen goes one
hell of a lot farther than reading her description on the
page. There is nothing sexy about the characters "34DD."
OTOH, the screen can only suggest attitiudes and thoughts --
stories can report them.
So a sexy female could be a woman with a raunchy attitude;
or it could be a girl who is attractive in her modesty and
needs to be seduced out of that modesty by the boy.

This is one of the central problems in writing fiction. You'd might as well ask how do you write a good story.

I echo Uther's comment on movies. Movies have supplanted written fiction as the culture's primary narrative art form, and I suppose that's good news if you like movies, but it's bad news for writers. Too many people at Lit write as though they're describing a movie, giving us action without depth. This ignores the great strength that fiction has over film: that in fiction you can get inside your characters and describe their feelings and emotions and inner life. If you want your characters to have much depth or interest, that’s probably where you want to go.

Almost all fiction is about people faced with problems (except for porn, which is why porn gets such a bad rap. A story about screwing is just about screwing: no conflict, no literary interest), and one of the rewards of fiction is seeing how other people go about solving problems that are common to us all. A character is interesting when we understand enough about her to empathize, but not so much that she’s totally predictable. A character doesn't have to be likable to be memorable, but she does have to be understandable, otherwise the things she does just seem random.

On the practical side, one way to do this is to base your character on someone you already know. I think most writers do this, whether they're aware of it or not. That way you also get the guilty pleasure of getting inside her head and trying to figure her out. Another way to find interesting characters is to think about the people we gossip about. We only gossip about things that interest us, and the reason these things are interesting is because we all try and figure out the people involved and why they act the way they do. A good case can be made for seeing all literature as being no more than gossip writ large and told well.

As to sexiness, one thing is certain: it’s a character trait, not a physical attribute. It comes from the head, not the body (in fact, it’s been my RL experience that a lot of Beautiful Woman are just not that sexy in person, maybe because they just don’t have to be.) Speaking for myself, my typical sexy woman is one who has a certain amount of power and presence along with a kind of suppressed sensuality. It’s an old and common male fantasy that all woman are repressed sexual tigresses just waiting for his touch, that even the most sedate and innocent virgin will turn into a cock-hungry slut as soon as he makes eyes at her. At the core, I think this is the theme of most male porn. It’s certainly the most common male daydream.

My sexy women are very smart and together, but they’re also conflicted. I love the fact that so many women are conflicted about showing their sexuality. They want to be sexual—they are sexual--but they don’t want to appear to be sluts. At heart, I think this is probably the case in every piece of porn I’ve written. It’s only under the man’s insistence that they reveal their full sexual nature, and it’s the revelation of that nature that I find so erotic.

Okay. Lecture over.

Life, as always, is the best teacher.

Think about interesting people you know. What makes them interesting and memorable?

That's pretty much the technique I use.

Glancing up from the stack of dull paperwork with which I distract myself from my shameful, devil-induced sexual fantasies, I see Dr. Mabeuse's post on my monitor...Suddenly, I realize I've been repressing a need to suck this man's tongue, bite his thighs, and beg him to discipline me, ever since I read "Hard Boiled Dick."

Giving in at last to my wicked animal needs, I rip off my intimidating black pinstripe power-suit and reveal my usual daytime undergarments (black kidskin tightlaced corset with cruelly constrictive boning; garters; sheer black stockings with a seam down the back; a self-punishing chainlink thong of cold steel).

Leaping out of Dr. Mabeuse's monitor, I hurl myself into his lap and attach my mouth, leech-like, to his lower lip.

Naturally, the startled pornographer tries to dislodge me, but I fist my small hands in his hair and tug at it, inflicting just enough pain to make him stop fighting me. I suck his lip for a moment, and then bite it.

"Damn you, Mabeuse," I snarl, writhing in his lap and grinding the cold steel chain into my, um, down there, "you win, okay? Stop tormenting me with dirty stories, you heartless sonofabitch, and show me some hard-boiled dick action. You've ruined so many panties that I stopped wearing them - this is your fault, you bastard. Now deal with it!"
