Me, trying to write a sanguine: What would Chester Arthur do?
#the brainstorming of the arateph rapunzel retelling has me musing over camreth's character again (which has always been tough to nail down)#i've always known he had a very strong sanguine temperament#but as an introvert with a heavy melancholic streak i had a tough time wrapping my head around it#specifically how to reconcile his cheerfulness with his intense survivor's guilt#and today i was reminded of chester arthur and the fact that he was a sanguine#and it was super helpful actually#the guy dealt with some devastating losses (specifically his wife)#he had big emotions (i think camreth would have better self-control)#but then he'd just keep doing things and making friends and distracting himself#i'm also expanding camreth's character by considering some scarlet pimpernel and robin hood connections#he's not just a terrified fugitive hiding from all eyes#he's got a bit of a con artist side#a touch of the trickster#a friendliness that can charm people so they don't question him too closely#perhaps some joy in the art of disguise#which is helpful as i try to imagine how he survives when he's not inside zemma's tower#but the chester arthur connection is the funniest and most out-of-the-blue#adventures in writing#arateph
