Letter To The Character- Talitha

Dear Talitha,
                        What do you want?  Every character wants something, so what is it that you want?  It has to be deeper than "get over that guy."  I know it's deeper than that.  Forgiveness?  Is that what you're searching for?  Love?  Someone to listen to you?  You've got that, you've always had that.  But, if that's not it, what is it?  Please tell me soon, I'd like to continue on with the story.
                       From,

Every character has to want something.  We all want something, it's what we live for, whether we know what that is, or not.  In this case, I know what she wants, but that's just what she knows I know she wants.  But I also know she wants something else, I don't know what it is.  When I find out, I'll know what really drives her to be who she is.  That way, I can shape her character better.  It will make her a more well rounded person, and it will show her change in a more pronounced way.
