Dragon is 9, and most of the time the closest age I can get to that in media to compare her to is 10, so I think about characters like Ezran who is ten(in s1-3) and then how I have Dragon act and it leaves me feeling a little weird because I think I have her act a bit too immature for her age.
Which is also confusing because I’m trying to find this balance of her being really into pretend and sometimes even a bit naive, but I also want her to be a bookworm that knows stuff and can also be quiet and thoughtful and blah blah. It’s like I’m having a hard time deciding how loud and silly she should be versus being more calm and stuff like I had her originally when she was 11.
I want her to be cute and all, but I’m not trying to force it and I don’t want to sacrifice her character for it. I would prefer both. And right now I feel like I’m sacrificing her character for it.
This is a problem I’ve had for a long time. I’m not so sure I can have both things and it’s hard decision to make. I want her to be a kind of silly kid at times, but I don’t want her to JUST be a silly kid that’s not taken seriously when the time is there.
Honestly sometimes I think I’ve ruined her from what she once was. It’s a feeling I can’t seem to shake, and yet I have zero desire to roll her back at all either so. All I can do it move forward until she feels right.
