The Little Girl is the most important character represented throughout my work. She is the main character of my novel, my self-portrait, and a representation of my feminine side. Growing up as a little boy I was always shy and sensitive. Many things that I thought and still believe to be normal characteristics were perceived as effeminate, and therefore negative to my boy peers. In my storytelling, assigning The Little Girl the role of an all-powerful main character inspires open dialogue and self-reflection into the everyday stereotypes we hold onto. Since the beginning of time little girls have been raised differently than little boys, and forcefully assigned a more submissive role in society. In my work, The Little Girl is always the focal point, her actions most important, her demeanor grave and stoic.
