Re: Clarice Starling - Character
Yes-- what ATB said -- that's why I asked.
11 is a good age in my opinion. They're starting to assert their autonomy and start keeping secrets from parents. Hormones are on the rise as is interest in the opposite sex. (Some parents are in denial about the sexuality of kids this age.) Same gender could offer some options too. Kids the same age/gender often have the same toys, posters, and other stuff in their rooms which could impact the cop -- as if she's looking for her own child.
There's a lot of good stuff to mine and, as others have said, if you avoid mommy cliches it could be very interesting.
