Darryl

I find darryl a little harder to write, but my recipe for him is something along the lines of - earnestness to the point of severe secondhand embarrassment, beginning sentences with ‘oh!’ a lot, excessive fawning over people/things he loves and a degree of rambling that usually ends with a silly/naive/clueless interpretation of what’s actually happening.

Rebecca & Heather???

rebecca: hmm, rebecca is probably one of the characters I’m less consciously aware of how I write, because I tend to just hear certain things in her voice with very clear inflection that it annoys me it’s hard to indicate in text. her dialogue is usually a fun mix of rambling contrasted with high articulation, often in a single sentence:

“So I feel like there’s a teaching moment, here, about blindly propagating media you haven’t actually critically assessed for yourself, but I’m going to table that for hot sec and ask if you could maybe, I don’t know—what is the opposite of sharing? Can we de-share it? Print-slash-post a retraction? Is that a thing?” [x]

a playfulness in most situations that lends itself to theatricality, silly voices, etc. unabashed horniness. very tactile. a particular brand of self-assuredness, despite her various insecurities. a tendency to get carried away, but make it endearing. rebecca is a really fun composition of contradictions, and I think she comes across best when you pit them against each other. she can also be incredibly single-minded, and you can push that almost to the point of absurdity/the confusion of everyone around her by tying it back to an emotion she’s feeling with her whole heart that others aren’t necessarily privy to.

heather: heather is the character I’m most similar to, so I kind of lean on my own voice, there, just filtered through her classic drawl. noises, like grunts and ‘ugh’s. I tend to use ‘like’ (to the point of agonising over which placement in the sentence gives maximum nonchalance) and ending sentences with ‘so’ a lot in her dialogue. a stubbornness beneath the chill. my favourite thing to play with in injecting heather into a scene is her wry, observational quality - she’s super fun to contrast with characters like rebecca and nathaniel when they’re being delusional/trying to put on a facade, so I guess a key part of her characterisation to me is putting her opposite someone she can see right through for maximum entertainment.

You’re a hedonist through and through. You're not great with moderation. Instead, you prefer to chase your own pleasure, follow your instincts, and take risks. People might find you to be intimidating at times but no matter what, there’s no denying you have a certain allure.

Veronica from FE Heroes for the character writing meme (I love the way you write her!)

The Cold Little Sister: I personally think she is very icy and very introverted. I believe she sort of has her more ‘positive’ emotions on mute. She’s very much repressed and very much living an act because it is expected of her.

A Robbed Childhood: I’d personally bet that she hasn’t had much of a childhood. She is in her mid to early teens and leading an army through a brutal war. So, when it’s all over, I’d be willing to bet that Veronica’s interest in childish things will skyrocket because the Askrans will likely give her a safe place to heal from her own traumas.

aaaand I can’t think of anything else unfortunately since she is a very paper thin character by nature of only appearing in the mobile phone app but I love her lots anyway and I personally think she deserves a Redemption Arc since she’s a very sympathetic villain.
