i want to create a character who is quite quirky and has their own mannerisms and little habits. but i am sick of the usual nail biting or hand gestures. If you have any ideas for little mannerisms please send them to me. thanks!

well when i get nervous i usually play wih my feet (not like actually touch them). like i'l just keep shifting from foot to foot, put one foot on it's toe stuff like that.
another thing i do is i play with my fingers, or clothes idk why though

fidgeting, humming, pacing, doodling, tapping fingers, staring into space, not able to sit still, sitting a weird way, picking at clothes/skin, doing random things with their face (randomly blowing up cheeks in the middle of a conversation), looking around them

Probably one of the weirdest things that I do is pick at my eyelashes, and pull them out. I don't realize that I'm doing it until someone points it out.

why is this in creatures

lol idk.

I bite my nails and bounce my leg.

I run my hands through my hair.
