Writing Question

would you be interested in reading about this character?

Name: Teagan Almeida
-16 yrs old
-loves nature; has a garden and raises trees
-strawberry blonde hair, blue-green eyes
-obsessive about keeping doors closed: symbolic for her shutting people out
-very withdrawn: prefers to keep to herself and work in her garden
-doesn't believe she's pretty: low self-esteem
-wears non-label, non-designer clothes. clothes always covered in dirt, grass, leaves, etc.
-parents work around the clock: mom's a nurse, dad a cop. as result: she's usually on her own anyway
-bikes to local private high school b/c she can't get a ride
-talented artist: prefers acrylics. paints the scenes in her garden
from time to time, wanders the woods and has secret hideaways.

i'm trying to come up with a story for her, as well as a male foil for her who draws her out of her shell. i have no idea where this is going, but any help would be appreciated.

What do you want this story to be? A mystery, Romance, Building-Self-Esteem type of Novel, what?

Mystery: She is captured by a stalker, or one of her parents dies, and every one thinks it's an accident. With the help of guy character, they get mixed up into something they've never dreamed of before. (sounds cheezy, I know, sorry :/)
Romance: You can probably see where this is going, with guy character, but maybe add into it a secret admirer/crush/lover from the private school. Then, she can have an akward love triangle inbetween one guy, the other, or just shutting down again, after all first character had done for her.

If you haven't made up how these two characters afore mentioned would meet, I would say she is sitting somewhere, in the woods or at a park. She see's him doing something, maybe feeding birds or playing frisbee with dog, something, and she see's the perfect chance for her newest addiction, profiles and action shots. She starts drawing him, getting lost into her own world, and doesn't notice that he'd seen her looking at him, and that he came over to ask her about what she was doing.
There, you have how I would have the two meet, and you can take it anywhere from there.
This is all just how I would begin it. If you think any/some/all of my ideas are cheezy or not what you wanted, I don't care if you tell me. I like to read books, and I'm trying to write one with a friend, and I have no idea where to take it next. Anyway, hope it all helps! :) :)

About origional question, yes, I would read about her. She seems very interesting, and Quiet people have more interesting thoughts to me.
