My best friend is tall, slim and is in her mid teens. She's got an oval face, her nose is small and she has lovely big, blue eyes. She has a lovely character and is always happy and cheerful. She’s very generous and I can always rely on her but she tends to be a little selfish at times. Friend´s physical appearance
