Character Motivation

I am a curious young girl in England old enough to explore on my own but too young to marry. My father, the most loving person I have known, died a some time ago. Leaving me to live with my mother and sister. My favorite outfit is an off white corset with a blue skirt that is held up in the front by straps coming from the corset. I come from a very wealthy family, though to others it might not look like it because the skirt is worn and faded from wearing it all the time. My shoes are very comfortable; black flats with a bow on the end. Not very practical for running or traveling long distances, but they seem to fit me well enough. My long, curly blonde hair is usually always pulled back into a braid.

I am very outgoing and polite, which is why I was surprised when the white rabbit completely ignored me and went along running around. I heard him saying something about being late. I wanted to know what he was late for so I followed him. Through the maze we went, me trailing a few feet behind him. I should have expected to find him going down a rabbit hole, but I guess the size of the hole is what really shocked me. I was always up for an adventure, so I just crawled in the hole finding myself falling for a few minutes. I was wondering if I was ever going to reach the end. I wondered if since the rabbit was smaller he would fall faster. He must have done it a lot to know exactly where to go.

Why, how impolite of him. I asked him a civil question, and he pretended not to hear me. I say, Mr. White Rabbit, where are you going? He won't answer me. And I do so want to know what he is late for. I think I will follow him. Wait for me, Mr. White Rabbit. How curious. I never realized that rabbit holes were so dark . . . and so long . . . and so empty. I believe I have been falling for five minutes, and I still can't see the bottom! I wonder how many miles I've fallen by this time. Oh, I think I see the bottom. Yes, I'm sure I see the bottom. I shall hit the bottom, hit it very hard, and oh, how it will hurt!
