i'm someone who really hates first person and almost always am going to avoid it. but one thing that stands out among the worst first person is when the character spends a lot of time talking about themselves, describing themselves, or just focusing on themselves. so probably don't have them do that.

Well. Tbh the plot is literally about a murdered woman in her past in the afterlife sending her child self letters to steer her away from her eventual fate so there's probably going to be a lot of self reflection by nature.

That sounds like a fascinating idea.

Er, maybe stay away from scenes where the character looks at herself naked in a full-length mirror and contemplates exactly what she looks like - but I suspect you weren't going for that, anyway.

First person is a *great* way to bring on an unreliable narrator, if that's something you enjoy - have your narrator describe events as they're happening and draw a totally wrong conclusion from what the audience is likely to. Maybe they catch on later, maybe they don't...

'I looked first at my pert breasts, so pert they seemed to be waving at me with every shift of my body. My luscious golden hair spilled over my shoulders, almost hiding my magnificent bosom. Like golden tree branches obscuring two perfect twin moons.
I'm sure there were other parts of me present, but I'm afraid I can't recall.'
