Killabeez did mine so I should reciprocate. Plus maybe it will get me in the mood to write again.

Pick a character and I will give and explain the top five ideas/concepts/etc I keep in mind while writing that character that I believe are essential to accurately depicting them.

(oh come on, who else would I choose? *g*)

1. Patient; not a trait that many ascribe to him, mostly because of that explosive temper; but Krakatoa takes time to build up pressure. But all you have to do is look at his relationship with Jesse to see it; that kid would have driven anyone else up the walls; Dom takes him under his wing ( ... )

Awh - I love all of those, especially fatalism; I often forget that one. Thanks, I needed the reminders (looking for inspiration at the moment!)

Hope you're surviving the cold!!!!

1. Driven by Approval; First came his need to have John's approval, then Sam's, Bobby's, Cassie's, Lisa's, maybe even Castiel's; I think now we're seeing him struggle to come to terms with finding that in himself, rather than outside of himself. I think of all the things he both loves and envies about Sam, that's top of the list. Sam may have wanted John's approval, but he never needed it the way Dean did ( ... )

Arrgh. I had to look him up. I'm sorry. I don't watch White Collar. I have no clue on this guy.

John Winchester.

1.Mary: John loved Mary -- no one else ever came close. Not that he obviously has sought relief over the years or we wouldn't have had Adam, but when he went back, he went back to see his son, not the woman who bore him. Over the years, though I think his love for her became far more idealized. I don't think for a minute she would approve of what he'd put their sons through. In a lot of ways John is haunted by the memory of her, rather than the reality of who she was. He sees everything through the falsehood of that ( ... )
