Violet Marie: I've always liked your idea of Violet having her nostril and bellybutton pierced, and Esme is certainly a cool mother for allowing it. And I, too, have always pictured Esme being 5'8" with a pale complexion.
892lgy7382: It's cool that you and Doc both see the Quagmires as being Asian, and I like your idea of all three having a bob-style haircut.
blakegriplingph: *laughs* I love that - something tells me it would be very in character for Klaus to have a different shirt/outfit for every mood. Hmm... I wonder what he'd wear when he's angry? :/
tk: Aww, you're not an uncreative person! I've always imagined the characters to look the way they're represented in Helquist's illustrations. Except for the characters he didn't draw, in which case I'll just form my own interpretations.
Okay, I'm going to do one now. I know I already did her several pages back, but my interpretation may have changed a little since, and I'm going to do her again.
Esme: I imagine her to be 5'8" with a very pale complexion and sky/ocean-blue eyes, with black, wavy hair. She has freckles around her nose and cheeks, but conceals them with makeup because Olaf claims they make her appear too childish. She has a birthmark in the shape of a heart on the left side of her face, and her lips are naturally pouty. To quote lswannabe, Esme is "impossibly thin", but in my ficverse, all that changes after the birth of her and Olaf's daughter, and her figure to take on a more curvaceous shape.

I imagine Carol Burnett (Miss Hannigan from Annie) as Esme. I imagine Carmelita Spats looking like Nellie Olson from Little House on the Prairie, but with red hair.

Haha, those two are perfect for Esme and Carmelita!

I saw a picture of Daniel Handler. He looks nothing like how I imagine Lemony Snicket. Big disappointment for me.

I always imagined Esme with small lips and not any makeup out of place. She also has fair skin and I always think of her when she pretends to be the police officer. In my head she always has that hair that's brown, but looks grayish. I imagine Violet as bucktooth and plain. Klaus, i never imagine his face and sunny has razor sharp teeth and wild hair.
I always imagine Jerome as Jasper from twilight. (Not the movie the book) "Slicked back honey blonde hair. Lanky, but muscular."

For some reason, I always picture Hector as black. I'll post more later.

Nice descriptions, guys. Vanja: We appear to picture the characters very much the same way; except for Carmelita and Fiona, who I imagine as being slender. But that doesn't mean I don't love your takes on them. yammiestyam: I've always pictured Esme to be obsessive when it comes to her makeup and overall appearance, too. It's also interesting how you picture Jerome looking like Jasper. I picture Jerome as having dark brown hair, but as a child I imagine he would have had blond. JTB: That's a cool image of Hector! I pictured him as being white for the longest time, but these days I think of him as being of Mexican descent. I'm looking forward to reading more of your descriptions when you post them.

Emma: Carmy and Fi are slender, but have a slightly chubbish look.

Thanks, Emma! Very kind. I'll do some random characters first. Olaf: High, set cheekbones, set, firm jaw, very scary, shiny eyes that bore into you. Arched nose, high brow, very gaunt and wiry frame with some underlying muscle. Josephine: I imagine her to be middle aged, very thin and frail, with white mixed with black hair; very annoying and very textbook-ish. Charles: Very muscular, built, tall, sort of pale, with very short, blonde-white hair. I imagine him to be in his late thirties to early forties and homosexual. Nero: Tall as well, but oddly rounded. Bald on top, with red curly hair on the sides. Very round face, almost like Churchill's, with piercing yellow eyes and clammy, pudgy skin. Wears cheap 90s suits. Jerome: Tan, short brownish hair, a cut jaw and very muscular but at the same time, very wiry. On the short side of the height spectrum, but not noticably. Very gentle blue eyes and very white teeth. Esme: Tall with a sallow, thin face but very distinguished, highly-arched features. White with dark, shoulder length, wavy brown hair. Medium breasts. Hector: African American, light brown skin, graying, thin hair. Very muscular. Morgan Freeman, in essence, but with lighter skin. Hal: Bent, with short gray stubble and a longish but aged face. Neatly combed white hair and thick, black glasses with gentle, wisened blue eyes.

You're very welcome, JTB, and I very much enjoyed reading your takes on the characters. Our Jeromes seem to be the opposite of one another: while you imagine him being short and muscular with blue eyes, my version is tall (about 6'2") and chubby with green eyes. However, he does have dark brown hair. You're the second person I know (not counting myself) who imagines Esme's hair as wavy. ;D Except I've always pictured hers being black rather than brown. Also, Morgan Freeman would make an excellent Hector.

I think Philip Seymour Hoffman would make an excellent Hector.

Yeah, I can definitely see him in overalls (I think it's mentioned that Hector is wearing them, isn't it?).
I'm not sure which actor I see portraying Hector. But as far as imagining him goes, I've always seen him being in his late twenties, very tall and gangly with messy hair that sticks up.
