ONE TOUGH COOKIE Character Aesthetics

One Tough Cookie Character Aesthetics

Meet the cast of my debut foodie women’s fiction ONE TOUGH COOKIE through their aesthetics. When I first started to outline this book, I had a lot of fun looking through Pinterest for inspiration, and it really helped me develop the characters and give them specific traits to make them unique.

All of these characters work together at Singular Cookies, Inc., a fictional cookie manufacturing plant located in Fort Pierce, Florida, which serves as the novel’s setting.

Karina Cortés

Age: 27

Sign: Aquarius

Relationship Status: Happily single

Job Position: Production Floor Supervisor

Karina is OTC’s protagonist. She loves her single, independent life and her job. Though she has work-friends and a close relationship with the company’s CEO, she’s more of a loner. She loves to eat and spending time at the beach.

Ian Feliciano

Age: 28

Sign: Virgo

Relationship Status: Single but open to meeting someone special

Job Position: Maintenance worker

Ian is Karina’s love interest and the hot new mechanic at the company. Though Karina is mostly attracted to his looks, his desire to make her feel special and the way he can see through to a hidden part of herself gives her more than she can handle.

Ian loves jogging on the beach, working with his hands and tools, and cooking for that special someone.

Lacey Adams

Age: 34

Sign: Scorpio

Relationship Status: It’s complicated

Job Position: CEO and founder of Singular Cookies, Inc.

Lacey is Karina’s boss and mentor. Though their relationship has become less friendly and more professional throughout the years, Karina still looks up to her until she learns Lacey is dating the new quality assurance manager at the plant (which leads to all sorts of trouble).

Lacey loves to bake and spend time with her family, especially her uncle Roy who helped her build the business from the ground up. She’s empathetic, diplomatic, and a fair boss.

Cordelia is one of Karina’s work-friends and the only one who’s married in their group. She always needs to look put together, lives for gossip, and loves to cook. She’s totally invested in her new husband and into being the best homemaker she can.
