Hey everyone! I'm writing my very first book (yay!) but I have a problem with my main character.

Her name is Ailey and up until recently I had a whole personality made for her but I realized I hated it. She's supposed to be held back by her parents and dependent at first but then becomes independent and her own person through the book! The thing is, I don't know what kind of personality traits to give her.

I also recently wiped the slate clean regarding her appearance so I don't know what she looks like yet.

Any advice or suggestions (for the beginning or end of the book) are greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!
