It's goin' round!

Name a character that you know I write or have written, and I'll tell you:

a. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.
b. One of his/her best traits.
c. One of his/her worst traits.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.
e. The story/thread/chapter/post/paragraph/tag/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character.
f. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future.

*eyes your icon and spittakes*

a. She's *gorgeous*. I mean...wow, what a challenge. She's poetic and dangerous and insane. I could gush, but *you* know. She just captured my brain in a very...almost *cautious* way, sort of prodding me until I apped her. :)

b. Best trait: the fact that she loves Simon so very much. In a way, it's the key to the whole Serenity movie, that relationship. The line "My turn," always echoes with me, whenever we thread Simon and River.

c. Worst trait: This is hard to pin down! I mean, the girl's insane. Playing this sort of insanity is the most difficult part about the character.

d. River is difficult but enjoyable. Sometimes I have to wait for the right thing to tag back with. I can't force River, or have her just say some throwaway line. Each tag is something I have to think about and something that takes time. But I feel there's always something gorgeous in every one of her threads. That's a great feeling.

e. Well, there's River and Simon's first thread. I like how they interact with each other in it. :) And then there's this thread of River doing something appropriately genius-level. :)

f. I intend to keep playing her and playing her and figuring out what the character wants to tell me. It'll be interesting to see how her story progresses at the Outpost. ;)
