ichigootaku replied to your post:Just the first, huh? Her name was Lily and she was pretty much started as a self-insert (yaaay 12 year old me). She was supposed to be Naruto's best friend and eventually became a love interest of course. But she was also Sasuke's in various other fics because why not, right?? Anyway she's got characteristics that I think are more her own and pull her away from the whole self-insert thing, but if I were to ever go back and flesh out more details, I'd put the most work into her.
Congrats! XD I had TONS of OCs that ranged from borderline self-inserts to potentially great characters, I wish I could find the list. There were a bunch…
Oh man I had so many. SO MANY. I had a sand OC with a really cute design. I wish I had done something with her but I never wrote any fics. She was a little grump, too.
