Character Sketch

I am doing my character sketch on Marie-Laure LeBlanc. Marie-Laure is a French sixteen year old girl. She is tall and has freckles. She is blind, but was not born blind. She has a very close relationship with her father. Her mother passed away so it is just her and her father. She loves to read and solve puzzles with her fingers. Every year on her birthday her father has a new one for her. She is able to solve them in less than 10 minutes. Her father is a locksmith and he works at a museum. She often spends time at the museum. Her father has built a small replica of her town, she mesmerizes the town by running her fingers along the model. She loves to drink coffee with lots of sugar in it. Marie-Laure and her father are running from the Nazi soldiers, it is not clear whether that is because she is a person with a disability or because she is Jewish. I look forward to finding out more about her.
