A Series of Unfortunate Events 2 (book 2) 1/19/15

Prompt - List the physical characteristics of the main character (clothing, physical features, etc.)

     In this book, A Series of Unfortunate Events - The Reptile Room, there are three main characters; the Baudelaire orphans. Their names are Violet, Klaus, and Sunny (in order from oldest to youngest). In the series, they are described as brilliant. 

     Violet Baudelaire; the eldest of the three is 14 years old and she has brown eyes and dark brown/black hair. Her hair is described as flicking or curling towards the ends. She always wears a ribbon in her hair when she is thinking hard about an invention. She is very good at inventing things and her hair distracts her when she is thinking. Violet dresses differently in all of the books and sometimes she disguises herself, but, she is drawn on the books wearing a purple coat. In the first book, she is said to have pleasant facial features and is very pretty. 

     Klaus Baudelaire is 12 years old and he has black slightly curled hair (his is all according to the covers of some of the books). His eyes are brown and he always wears his glasses. His glasses are black and rounded. He dresses semi-formally, he is always wearing a bow tie on the drawings from the jackets of the books. 

     Sunny Baudelaire is the youngest of the three orphans and she is an infant throughout most of the series. Sunny cannot walk until the seventh book. She is known for talking in a weird baby talk when she says a random thing that is nothing but she actually means something. This language only her siblings understand; an example would be "agydeegi!" which would probably mean: "I don't like Count Olaf!" She is also known for having strong teeth which she used a lot to help her and her siblings escape from Count Olaf.  In the books, she has black hair and eyes, and her hair is in a ribbon on the covers of the books.
