"I did what I had to do so I could stay in the ocean, concentrating on the salt water healing me, washing over my eye, washing away my birthmark." (Renee Rosen, Every Crooked Pot, pg.15)
My character, Nina Goldman, doesn't really fit into any of the character archetypes. She does, however, take some attributes from the shapeshifter archetype. Nina is a shapeshifter because in the beginning when she was little she always thought she was special and different because of her birthmark over her eye. But as she grew older she was teased to the point of not loving herself and having an unhealthy body image. She eventually shifts back to her old self when she outgrows putting herself down.
