Good question Stryder. I’m ok with or without. Like, it shouldn’t matter. But I know writers (myself included) like to know who these people are that we are portraying. So do as you like! But that leads me to character art. 

I think for this one, all character portraits, if you like to have one, should be animated or AI. Non-real. Because otherwise the option is that you’re going to find a picture online of someone’s actual minor (no thanks) and make use of it, or you’re going to grab a picture of a celebrity like Malcolm from Malcolm in the middle… And I think these characters should be anonymous. Seeing pictures of celebrities that we recognize gives preconceived notions.
