Pick a character I've written/am likely to know about and I will give and explain the top five ideas/concepts/etc I keep in mind while writing/imagining that character that I believe are essential to accurately depicting them.

Holy CRAP that was fast haha! Okay our girl Anna...be with you shortly on this. It may be long and involved.

[aerilex]

I'm glad you did. :)

Okay, Anna:

- Anna is strong. As an angel, she ranked above Castiel and Uriel and her Grace was enough to harm a high-level demon. She's tough enough to back her convictions, and she always follows through when the most undesirable plan is necessary. She's strong enough and tough enough to put her chin up and overlook how broken she feels, but she can't always mask the bitterness her experiences have left behind.

- She loves feeling. She envies humanity their ability to feel, because without the passion that fuels human emotion, she exists only as intent. Her human life granted her a glimpse into that depth of emotion, and she clings desperately to the shreds of it that she still has.

- She's tragic. So often she makes sacrifices, and is rewarded with misunderstanding and betrayal. She Fell to be free of the cold, unfeeling existence of the angels - and still it held onto her, clung to her mind until she ultimately lost it when she took back her Grace. She risked capture and punishment to aid her

Ooh! I'm going to be evil and give you Cas. ;)

Right, because asking me to talk about my favorite character (and the character I connect to best) is totally evil. :D

Okay:

- Cas is a soldier. A tactician, really. Up to meeting the Winchesters, all he knew was receiving and obeying orders and faith in his Father. He's intelligent. More important, Cas is wily. He's slyly devious and he knows how to play the system, as it were, to get what he (read: Dean) needs and get around what red tape he can. If he can't get around it, he'll go through it and suffer the consequences

[cymbalism219]

OMG, you did that so fast! It took me *days* to answer for Cas! Man, you're a champ. (And, damn, I forgot about faith in my answer. doh!)

Dean has been very intriguing - and then treasured - to Castiel
Oh, Cas. *wibbles* Come back and make Dean whole!

[aerilex]

Haha, like I said - I definitely connect best with Cas. Secondly to Dean. But Cas. He's my baby.

<3!
