Abbott — B), E), F)

B) What inspired you to create Abbot?

I made Abbot when I was in middle school, so the initial inspiration is verry hazy. I think it was because I wanted a character who's presence would ask for trouble for the group, and runaway royalty felt like a no-brainer. Going forward, a lot of his tonal and character inspiration comes from the idea of "wonder" as vague as that sounds. He's an amalgamation of everything I grew up with that instilled joy, magic, imagination, and curiosity in me. As a result, he reads like a Disney prince, but sprinkle in my love for astronomy, fairytales like The Little Prince, and you get the superior starboy.

E) Are they somebody you would get along with? Would they get along with you?

I'd like to think we'd get along! Although, in full honesty, I'd be worried my first impressions of him would be negative due to his naïvety. I try not to let first impressions inform the rest of my relationship with someone, so I'd hope I'd give him another chance </3

F) What do you feel when you think of Abbot (pride, excitement, frustration, etc)?

Nostalgia, joy, and anxiety. The latter applies to any character apart of Nebula. I put a lot of pressure on myself to write these characters to be the best they can be, but as a result I end up talking myself in circles and never making decisions. I hope to break that cycle at some point. But the nostalgia and joy? That'll never go away. Abbot's been with me for nearly 10 years now, so he's filled with all sorts of memories. So many different iterations of his character exists through so many different iterations of myself. His character is more definitive and explored than my own at this point. I cherish him dearly, which makes him even more hard to share and talk about.
