3: Is there anything challenging about writing your muse?
I think a challenge I have is keeping Sharon’s reactions to people in check. Reminding myself that while she’s a very strong woman, it is acceptable for her to want to tear up or cry over something, get angry, get upset. I can’t just portray her as happy or the like more often than not, because her character is so much more multi-fasceted than that. Also keeping her reactions to characters in terms of canonical feelings for them is something I have to remind myself about a lot. Break would be the biggest case in point, since canonically it’s heavily implied that Sharon’s in love with him, but at the same time there’s only one Break RP’er that ships the ship in the same fashion that I do, so I have to be careful in that I’m staying true to canon but I’m not letting my mighty need for ship feels take over when I’m RP’ing with people who don’t view them in a romantic manner. I’ll never be that person that forces a ship onto people who don’t want to do it.
9: Is there a certain writing style or colloquialisms you have to use for you muse that changes from your own?
If you say, had my Skype conversations and my RP replies held up side by side, you probably wouldn’t know it’s the same person writing both things. When I’m just talking myself, there’s no character behind the words that I word vomit up, I don’t put in effort to look for more applicable and descriptive words, keyboard smashing is fairly common, as are acronyms and whatnot. My actual writing writing (I like to think anyway) is much more fluid, I put more effort into making narration and actions suited to that exact muse (like for example I would write Leo differently than I would Sharon, since their character dynamics are very different, if that makes any sense). Just my writing for a character is much more……aesthetically pleasing for a lack of better words, everything just flows better.
14: [Canon] Was there anything that made this muse difficult to work with ,i.e canon death/canon location?
Not particularly, since the fandom that I came to Pandora Hearts from (that being Kuroshitsuji) is set in a similar time frame, as well as the generalized setting of being in a high class society for the time, it wasn’t that big a jump from one storyline to the other, just a different set of characters and canonical events. Although if you ask me this question again after when/if Break dies in canon, the answer will be much more different because to sum it up quite nicely and with a pun, Break’s death will break Sharon, so there will be new things to consider depending on what part in the canon timeline I’m RP’ing her.
