How's My Driving

Do you think I am playing Chigusa wrong or out of character? Do you think that I need to review her canon?

Then post here with your comments about how I can improve on her here.

All comments are welcome!

Hello, Donna! As someone who played Chigusa from movie!verse as well, there's just one important thing I'd like to point out about your portrayal of her: Chigusa was nicknamed "Robo-Bitch" by her classmates for a reason, and I think yours could afford to be a lot more colder and anti-social towards people, especially those she doesn't know well.

For example, in her intro post, it's reasonable that she'd be shocked and have the expression to go with it, but she wouldn't be nervous and stuttery---She'd probably be more defensive and angry. In general she should be more curt and blunt when talking to people, even when she's distressed, and not shy at all. For example, she wouldn't be so hesitant on using the worth 'death'. Nor would she smile or be polite unless she was particularly close to anyone. She also has a bit of a foul mouth. To be blunt: When I see you play Chigusa, all I see is Polka. Chigusa is not Polka

This is my first time playing her, so I am grateful for the crit.

When I wrote up the application, I had watched the movie/blu-ray and read the novel as well, but you are right, I was really worried when I posted the application in the first place and then felt I wasn't doing her justice at all.

I wasn't trying to make her into a Polka clone or anything, I was focusing too much on one part of my application rather than on what makes her.. well her.

As for the name clarification, thanks.. I will fully admit she isn't the only girl I've messed up the name of :(

Thanks for offering me your icons and I will look through your posts to improve on her voice.

In general, thanks. I feel really bad because I am a big fan of the film and the novel.. and figured I would know her characterization better that I do.

Sorry if this is too rambly :(.. As I said above, I've been worried about her voice for a little bit.

No problem! My threads are pretty old so my writing style's vastly different, but I hope they'll come in handy. This and this are probably the best ones I have at hand. I can't really remember where I put the rest of them. |D;

Oh I also forgot to add... Unlike in my Chigusa's intro post, she's supposed to talk less than that. Her tl;dr was from my first time musing jitters.
