Its a useful technique, to never describe your protagonist in a book. Allows the reader to customize, imagine themselves in the role, to really identify. I know 'Twilight' is famous for Bella's blank aspect. Also an old childrens' book "Harris and me" had a main character that not only was never described; they never had a name.
