Creating a character... I need help with a motivation

For my story that I'm working on, I can't figure out a good motivation for my main female character. Any ideas would be great

@RedTheLoveless

It really depends on the personality of your character though. Justice? Romance? Curiosity? Revenge? Genuinely it only depends on the personality of the character.

@CWTurtleOfFreedom

It also depends on their situation. Is she fighting to stay alive? Is she trying to get into a good college?

@CWTurtleOfFreedom

(That sounds lame :))

@RedTheLoveless

No, it's not. Situational motivation is just as important and goal-achievement motivation is

@Bluestar5

Yeah I think the survival motivation sounds good. The story is about these people who are trying to survive in this alienated world so that would make perfect sense. Thanks so much!
