a. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.
Generally I like the fringe type characters. JK gave us just little glimpses of Andi in the books. A mention here and there but I always thought her story would be an interesting one to explore.
b. One of his/her best traits.
She's extremely loving. Andi never loves by halves.
c. One of his/her worst traits.
Stubborn. Ridiculously stubborn. Once she has an idea or a feeling then she's not likely to change it anytime soon. (or, you know, ever)
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.
I like having Andi around in my head. It's never dull. I don't know that I always find her easy--but she's comfortable for me. I hear her voice quite clearly. Good or bad she's never really quiet about things.
e. The story/thread/chapter/post/paragraph/tag/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character.
The ficlet with Andi and Harry after the war, dying and coming back with Sirius. I think those two are pure Andi.
And thank you for picking up. When she tagged on that SWS (IIRC, who else is small or in trouble?) that really really got me - and, well. Teh Tonki lover her mum.
a. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.
I think I identified with Lily because I'm the youngest in my family too and I know how I would have felt watching both my older siblings go off to something as great as Hogwarts without me.
b. One of his/her best traits.
How much she is like her mother. Lily's strong like her mum.
c. One of his/her worst traits.
She over thinks things to the point of making herself crazy.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.
Sometimes Lily's Ravenclaw side is hard for me to tap into. Because I'm less think-y than she is.
e. The story/thread/chapter/post/paragraph/tag/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character.
I think the moment during the war where Harry was kidnapped and just about all of her family had been in the infirmary and tortured and Lily was sitting in the hall doing Harry's world famous 'Bounce Catch' because even at 9 years old Lily knew just how bad things really were.
f. My plans (if any) to write the character
( ... )
a. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.
I think the original idea for Saiah was that there were so many cute lil' orphans running around and then Mia and Natalie. I wanted there to be a not so lovely or cuddly kid. A lost Death Eater baby. Once he showed up it felt like there was more to him than just what his parents were.
b. One of his/her best traits.
He's a Slytherin but he's got a Gryffindor-like loyalty to his family. (He blames Minerva)
c. One of his/her worst traits.
Teenage Isaiah lacks judgment. He's not quite on an even keel just yet so he feels things deeply and tends to act out- mostly by getting himself beat up, drunk or arrested.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.
He's very easy for me to write most of the time. More as an adult than a teenager.
e. The story/thread/chapter/post/paragraph/tag/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character.
When he found out his mother had been kissed by a Dementor.
a. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.
I believe Sinclair started out as 'Professor Hottie'. I didn't have any real long term plans for him. But the more I got to writing him the more layers I could see he had.
b. One of his/her best traits.
His uncanny ability to spot the wrong thing - and do it anyway.
c. One of his/her worst traits.
The way he beats himself up worse than anyone else ever could.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.
Sometimes it's very hard to get inside Sin's head. He's extremely internal.
e. The story/thread/chapter/post/paragraph/tag/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character.
Hmm...I think with Leo on on drugs.
f. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future.
Continue to train his puppy army. Infiltrate teh kittehs and learn their secrets.
