{forty: heather freaks out
Comment with one of my characters (past or present) and I will tell you the following:

1. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.
2. One of his/her best traits.
3. One of his/her worst traits.
4. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.
5. The story/thread/chapter/post/paragraph/tag/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character.
6. My plans for the character in the near future. (In the case of previous characters, this question reads as "what I planned to do with them.")

1. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.

I believe it was you and I talking about how awesome it would be to major in American Pop Culture, and then we were talking about teaching, and then we were talking about teaching at Lowood and then somehow you ended up with Hemingway and I ended up with Fitzgerald, who both somehow sort of fulfill the dream of being Pop Culture whores.

2. One of his/her best traits.

For Scott, I would say his best trait is his charisma. He has a talent for speaking to people, and explaining things to them. He knows how to make his point and, better still, knows how to make other people see his point. I am fairly certain that the only reason he wasn't kicked out of Lowood on a few occasions was because of this charisma.

3. One of his/her worst traits.

Scott mopes. He gets caught up in these cycles of mind games, turning the situation over and over in his mind until it all looks infinitely worse and everything is ruined forever. Once something's gone wrong, Scott is more likely to complain and worry over it than to actually do something proactive towards fixing it.

4. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.

Scott is absolutely easy. I don't recall ever having had a problem with him, actually.

5. The story/thread/chapter/post/paragraph/tag/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character.

Scott laughs. "If only you knew, Dot. If only you knew. Now." He leans in fractionally, as if telling a secret. "Here is the plan. I am going to order us one more round. Just one. And then you and I are going to leave." Pause. "And pretend we never encountered each other here. So tell me, Dot. What is your favorite drink?"

Seriously. Nothing but trouble. (We should scene Dot/Scott as her being TA.)

6. My plans for the character in the near future. (In the case of previous characters, this question reads as "what I planned to do with them.")

Haven't the slightest! Getting into more trouble, I assume. And fluffy little things with Zelda, I hope.
