Choose either Marie-Laure or Werner and do a character sketch. Mention appearance, age, mannerisms, defining characteristics, personality, circumstances, main goal, and primary conflict (so far).
Werner Pfennig is a young boy in Nazi Germany. It is mentioned many times that he is "white-haired" (pg. 7). On page 24, it says Werner is "undersized and his ears stick out and he speaks with a high, sweet voice; the whiteness of his jar stops people in their tracks." At the very beginning he is 18, but when it goes back in time, he is 7. He loves his radio. A lot. He is always reconfiguring it and fixing it and messing with it and listening to it.
He wants to be an engineer or scientist but can't because he's in Nazi Germany and the only thing he can do is become a soldier or work in the mines. He obviously becomes a soldier, as you can tell from the prologue. I'm excited to see how he gets there.
