A Guide To: Writing Bitchy Characters

There are two types of characters I think we all struggle to write at some point - be it playing them ourselves or playing them against other people. The anti-villain/villainous types as well as the ‘bitchy’ characters — they’re generally mean, have a hard-edged demeanor that makes talking to them a bit intimidating sometimes. They always seem to have snappy, witty remarks or know just what to say to get your character’s blood boiling.

So, how do you write one? 

Tone is one factor.

Words can be carried a number of different ways - by tone and body movement. Is their voice rough? Do they speak with an irritated tone? Is it deadpan? Sarcastic? Defensive? Blase? Abrasive? Authoritative and demanding?

Now, with that in mind, think of mean things to say - they might not be things you would say but they’re probably what your character would say. Meaner characters generally tend to lack a ‘polite’ filter, they’re more crass - and while what they say may not be honest, it sounds honest with the tone. Think of the things you think about saying or do actually say when you’re mad - sometimes that’s an easier approach. Is what they said just a throwaway comment?

Along with tone, phrasing is important - a simple ‘what?’ can sound very upfront and demanding if it’s got an abrupt tone and uptight reaction. Mediator comments and passive ones aren’t typically used by these types of characters - though sometimes it will be used mockingly to taunt the person (but they can also be sincere if they want to be). For example, “I understand that…” versus “I know you…” What they say is more direct, more finger-pointing like they’re out to blame or accuse someone, even with assumptions, they sometimes even lack the ownership of ‘I’ and use ‘you’ and/or ‘they’ instead when it comes to owning up to things. It’s like a redirection away from them to make the conversation about the other person or to make the person feel like they should take responsibility or blame for whatever it is your character is saying. 

If you don’t know what to say, think about their gestures, their movements.

Are they huffy? Do they get defensive and cross their arms over their chest, closing themselves off to the world because how dare you? Do they kick their foot up a little or take a confrontational route by getting closer to the person they’re talking to? Are they the physical type (leans towards controlling when this route is taken), do they grab wrists or elbows? Or do they shove and swat/slap? What’s their demeanor like? Is it really intimidating, standoffish, nonchalant, reserved… 

Body language makes up a huge part of our communication - so it makes sense that their communication also would rely on that. The body can say more than words can. Mean/bitchy characters tend to be more confrontational - they aren’t afraid to say what’s on their minds, be it alone or in a group of people. Sometimes what they say/do has a motive (big or small, from getting a crowd to laugh at their target or to sabotage their target’s career), and sometimes it plain doesn’t and they just say something snarky because it’s a natural thing to do.

And why do they do it? Is it a defense/coping mechanism of some kind? How were they treated by their parents, siblings, friends, and other peers? What did they experience for them to behave like that? While sometimes the answer may not be readily available and it’s easier to say “they’re just that way,” try to find a reason - don’t use that reason to justify their behavior but to explain it, because once you can find a reason they’re like that, the easier it is to find resources on how people behave and depending on how they coped with it.

*They will more readily jump on the defense when anyone tries to insult them, attack their character or talk to them about something serious that may be effecting the other person.

It’s similar to writing villains. They have a more assertive or aggressive stance in conversations, sometimes they’re meant to challenge the plot and characters, and sometimes their roles can be really antagonistic in general because of that even with personable traits involved to humanize them. 

The easiest transition I can think of as a base is giving them witty and sarcastic remarks. What I want you to do is think of phrases such as:

Oh, golly, gee

I wasn’t aware that…

Seriously? 

Right, because…

Excuse me?

Read them with a condescending and/or sarcastic tone in mind - imagine your character rolling their eyes, shifting from hip to hip and canting their head. Imagine your character looking at their opposite incredulously with dagger eyes or a complete look of indifference as they deliver those words deadpan. 

Visualizing what they do/react and hearing how they say it can really help make that transition from taking a simple line that could be comedic into something rude. Keep in mind, though, that they’re not always mean - and can just say things flatly or be humorous even if what they say might be offensive or upsetting to an extent, because they’re insensitive about a certain topic or don’t care about whose feeling they hurt.

A mean/bitchy character can speak with any and every tone, it’s more their mannerisms and the words they use - they can take something as simple as a compliment and make it sound completely backhanded. And sometimes, they do relent and back down from conversations if their heart just isn’t in it or the effort to cause an upset isn’t arising soon enough. (They can be compared to a bully, they’re encouraged by reactions - so if a character feeds into it, it only fuels them on).

In the RP community, we’re all at a big advantage with being able to format our texts for emphasis and providing gifs for our characters reactions. While that may not always help, it’s good too. But in paras, try to think about their body movements.

And I know I just gave you all a brief mental task above but now, here’s a miniature assignment:

If you’re struggling with how to find your character’s voice, I suggest writing a 300 to 500 word self/solo para just imagining their bodily movements and gestures. How do they breathe? (Huffy, fast and heavy…) What do they do with their jaw, tongue and cheeks? (Puff them out, clench, bite their tongue/lips). Do they pace around or sit down? What about their hands? Clenched, shoved in pockets, what? But most importantly: what are their thoughts?

Put them in a scenario that gets their mind going with all kinds of thoughts — maybe they’ve just been in a vehicular accident, maybe they’re under a ridiculous amount of stress, maybe they’re attending an event they loathe going to. Now, take one thought and have them blurt it out. Allow them to speak their minds. And see where it takes you (and them). Allow yourself to write freely, don’t try to control/police their voice in this assignment - let them think and say what they want, that can help you get a better grasp on what they’re like/what they say.

Hopefully that will help you break that wall.

Base Code

preview + code 

Due to popular demand, here’s my base code! This is pretty much what I use to make all my themes now, but I did fix it up a bit so that it can also be used as a theme on its own!

There are instructions all throughout the code, and I did my best to explain what everything is, why I used it, and how it works.

Using this base code, I explain how to make/use:

Custom post sizes (500px on permalink pages)

Hover tags (using translate)

Optional full sized background image

How to incorporate global appearance (mobile theme features like avatar shape and title font)

a drop down selection menu

rotating CD styled audio posts

speech bubbles

day pages and permalink pagination

localization

I also included the minimum requirements for submitting a theme to the theme garden and pointed them out in the instructions for reference!

Here’s the code without instructions!

Please like/reblog if you’re interested in using this! If you use this to make your own theme, feel free to send me a link to it!

quick resource for anyone looking to name a japanese OC

if you go to jisho, it has an entire option to search names based on census data. this means that all the names and readings are actual real names that real people have, which is something that it’s easy to… not accomplish if you’re trying to name a character and aren’t familiar with the language’s naming conventions. with the fact that most names can be written more than one way (even within kanji usage that uses the actual readings of the kanji, and this increases exponentially when you consider the trend of “kira-kira names”, AKA names whose readings and kanji aren’t related) this also means that if you know a name you like the sound of, or you have a meaning you really want to work into your character’s name, you can find it by that as well. plus, a lot of the options are surnames, and some full names come up too, so you can make sure all around that your character has a legit name (and you’ll sound less like a weeaboo. no one wants to sound like a weeaboo.)

all you have to do to search names is put your search term (whether it’s a romaji reading or a kanji character) in the search bar and add #names after it. (you can also use this site to look up anything, since it’s also a general dictionary. this is really helpful if you do want your character to have a name that means something specific and you don’t know the word or kanji in japanese. add #kanji after the english word you’re searching for if you want to look for kanji specifically.)

for example, let’s say i really want my oc’s given name to be “yuno.” all i’d have to do is search “yuno #names”, and look? you get a ton of results with lots of different ways to write it.

or maybe i know that i want my character’s name to have “star” (星) in it. just search “星 #names” and there are pages and pages of results of names that have that kanji in it.

plus, you can use this site in combination with lists of most common given names or surnames in order to find how you’d write those names in kanji (as many english sites listing surnames, in particular, don’t give the kanji at all. however, here’s a site that lists some common surnames with their kanji, and explains a bit about japanese surnames as a whole.) after all, they are the most common, so depending on the setting, a lot of the time it can be much more realistic to have a tanaka (田中) or a yamamoto (山本), for example, than a really unusual name.

have fun!
