Help me pick a picture to match my next Heroine!!

I love this part of the writing process! It's so much fun to connect the character I've created in my head with an actual physical representation.  I normally do this before I even write the story, when I'm in the design phase and after I've fleshed out the main characters. I then use this picture whenever I'm writing the story and will refer to it often during the writing process.

Last week I gave my incredibly talented Motley Crew a brief physical description of my heroine in my upcoming book, Herald of Grace. And here are the actresses they came up with. Now it's your turn to read the character description of the heroine and vote for which one you think best fits the description.

No prize involved, just the satisfaction of having your voice heard and helping me a GREAT DEAL by choosing my next heroine.

Okay here we go!
Juliana Dutton is 21 years old, with sea-green eyes, and honey blonde hair. She is tall for her age and has a slightly athletic build.  Juliana is a hard worker, determined, stubborn, and independent. When she puts her mind to something, she never backs down. Due to her father's illness, she has been forced to take over the family merchant business in secret because women were not allowed to run businesses in 1692. Consequently, she bears the burden of her family's support, of getting proper care for her father, and of dealing with a lazy, pleasure-seeking brother.  Regardless of what society says, she believes women are equal to men and her greatest fear is poverty and loss of freedom. Which is why she never wishes to marry and become subserviant to a man.

Now, which of these actresses do you think best fit Juliana??   And thanks!


Amanda Seyfried
