happy sts :]

do you have any bit of particular characterization that you use to define your characters in their stories? for example, if there is an important historical figure relevant to the plot, what does it tell us about the characters that they refer to them by their full title vs their first name vs their surname vs a nickname. it doesn't need to be a person, it could be the government, a specific use of magic, etc

hai!! hmm i think i tend to add a bit of characterization in everything.. dialogue, the way ones room looks, how they decorate it,, obv im sure everyone does it i just overthink it LOL

or if someone acts ooc theres usually a reason for it. near the beginning of btsoyt (spoilers sorta?), rebecca starts the convo between them and amanda . shes usually shy but this time decides to open up. i feel like wanting to get to know amanda is a more powerful desire than clamming up from shyness, and if u feel like u click w someone, its a lot easier to carry the convo that way

i recently wrote a confrontation between ruri and nova, two chars from a shared universe me and @magentajuice r cultivating . i feel as if i did a good job establishing who nova is not just thru dialogue but introspection . how she tries to use logic to make sense of the situation, her defiance at being infantilized, her snippy lines ("yeah, right" or "its more than that, clearly").

ruri as well.. she's very formal, which makes sense bc shes fifty five and is traumatized from the loss of her wife, apollo. but i think her backstory rlly does hammer in the formality, how she may feel she doesnt know others well beyond herself bc shes shut herself out from the world for so long.. hence why it hides things from nova and their newfound strained relationship. shes a .. flawed mother, but it's trying its best!!
