New direction in my use of this journal - Character Profiles

Since I can't seem to get motivated to write daily any more have decided to begin using this blog to work on character profiles.  Today I am going to work on the characters in A Pioneer Woman's Journal.  The two primary characters are of course The pioneer woman herself and her husband Barry Kirkpatrick.
Scenario:  At the beginning of the journal is a newly married woman who has come with her husband to a dry land ranch/farm in Sheridan County Nebraska in an area just north of Gordan near Camp Sheridan and the Spotted Tail Indian Reservation as well as the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.  The area is called Albany.  This is in an area called the Sandhills region.  The Kirkpatricks had followed the trail laid by the Scammahorn party the year before in 1883 but went on further north of the Antelope Valley where that party had settled.
Hannah Kirkpatrick:  Hannah was a sturdy young woman who stood five foot six with a classic hourglass figure and as a woman once told her somewhat impolitely the perfect hips for birthing babies.  She had long, thick red hair the color of an Irish Setter and shocking blue eyes.  Even at a distance a person could detect those bright blue eyes.  For the most part she had a gentle personality but had a quick temper which quickly abated once she had blown off steam.  She had freckles splattered across the bridge of her nose and onto her cheeks.   She was not what would be called beautiful but pretty was more descriptive.  She was well educated which was unusual for women of her day and she loved to read and write.  She managed to place several books and a writing journal in her boxes of necessities packed for her new home.  She also managed to pack a few niceties of the time in the boxes also.  These included dollies, tableclothes, and napkins.  She could also sew and had several quilts as well as bolts of cloth that were included.  She had sacrificed the family piano leaving it at her parents' home so that she could include a trundle sewing machine and collapseable quilt frame.  She also knew how to ride and shoot which was a benefit on the prairie. 
Barry Kirkpatrick:  Barry was six foot two inches tall with a slender build that belied his strength.  He had a quiet even temperment.  He was not talkative but when he spoke it was direct and to showed his quick grasp of situations.  He was also well educated for a man of the time.  He knew how to read, write, and do math.  What he most enjoyed was being out in nature.  He loved working cattle and being a part of the land.  He was not overly fond of farming and only did as much as needed to be done in order to provide extra feed for his cattle and horses and a littl profit.  He was a natural at dry land ranching/farming that was the prevailing vocation of men in the sandhills region after people began to settle the area.
