@sakurasan Just in case you didn't get my message in Skype, Stasya is currently on the floor in her room, though the door is partially open.

#GirlsAreGettingABadRapAroundHere :)
All I'm going to say is that lets try to be civil with one another. Otherwise it's just no fun for anyone.
@DarkwolfX37 You were already using breasts as an example of measurements your were trying to figure out. I just expanded on it. :)
But yeah, the vast majority of the time, or at least I find it to be, nobody really cares about what the exact numbers are when it comes to writing.
I like to use the Height Principle. Is it really important that we know a character is 6'4", or could you just as easily say "tall" and let us paint the picture for ourselves?

@DarkwolfX37 Ah. I won't speak for anyoneone else, but in my own experience there are only three reasons that you would need to know specific measurements for your character.
1. That information is of particular importance to your character (to use your example, a small breasted girl who tends to suffer from size jealously)
2. They are clothes shopping and that information would come up in conversation
3. You're writing an explicit sex scene ( and even then, this one is a big if)
Otherwise, it's just numbers that you most likely won't use and others would be better served with approximations (large, small, average).

@DarkwolfX37 may I ask what measurements you're referring to?
Tucked against the back wall of the room, the bed was immersed in darkness. Were lights to appear, one would see that the sheets had become completely wrapped around the bed’s sole occupant, giving the appearance of a cocoon. At first, they lay unmoving, curled up into a tight ball, and they remained that way for some time. Eventually, however, small movements began to happen, shifts and twitched that were accompanied by whimpers and moans. Occasionally something that might have been akin to words could be heard, but what they might have been or what they meant was unknown. When the door lock clicked, all movements immediately ceased, replaced by rigid awareness. Inside the cocoon of sheets and blankets, eyes snapped open into darkness, and began shifting in response. Even as they settled, the figure made no movement or sound.
When nothing else disturbed the silence, the figure began to move again. Soft tearing sounds came from the cocoon as the fabric caught and ripped, and soon the figure emerged, crawling to the edge of the bed. Back and forth it swept its gaze, then focused on the thin, distant strip that signified the door. For a moment it remained still, as if considering its options, then slipped from the bed and began creeping towards the door. The sound of voices on the other side made the figure pause. It glanced back towards the bed, then to the door, then back and forth again before continuing its advance. The voices sounded young, not old, similar to itself. Reaching out, the figure grasped the door knob with unerring accuracy, pressed its ear to the door for a moment, and slowly began to open the door.
At that moment, the lights came on in the room.
Pain shot through the figure’s eyes, eliciting a shriek clearly audible in the hallway as it threw itself to the floor, hands clamped over its face. Now fully illuminated, one could see that it was a humanoid figure, garbed in nothing more than a light green hospital gown that did little to conceal its body. Or the shiny black scales that completely covered it, save for the sand-coloured hair growing from its head.
It was at that moment, blinded and crying on the floor, that Stasya Volkov decided that the entire world hated her.

Can I make one recommendation?
For those characters who primarily speak something other than English (my own character included), if you're going to write things out in that language, include the translation so that we can all understand what's being said.

@lovely complex It seems that I just can't get away from you :)
@Wick :) Good question! XD You'll have to see to find out!
