This meme entertains me. A lot. And I want to participate. So.

Name a character that you know I write or have written, and I'll tell you:

a. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.
b. One of his/her best traits.
c. One of his/her worst traits.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.
e. The story/thread/chapter/post/paragraph/tag/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character.
f. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future.

I think I fell for Asyr when she takes Gavin to a party (a Bothan party), and her friend from school, upon hearing how they met, says 'you always did play rough'. I just. Man. That opened up so much of her character, and her youth, and I was all l;djaf;lksdjf;alksdfj;sld. So. *g*

One of her best traits is her sense of honor--seriously. It's what lets her keep her self respect, it's what lets her face things head-on and with an eye to seeing them through. She cannot be other than what she is, and she doesn't even try. There's no point. It's--she knows what she can compromise and still keep her self-respect, and I adore that. It serves her well.

Her Bothan pride does not serve her so well, in some ways. It's what leads her to leaving Gavin at the end of her part of the series--she wants to stay with him, in some ways, but she's also very Bothan. And she's going to give the entirety of her life to the effort she needs to make (the reform of Bothan society), and she doesn't leave him the choice to take part in that or not. Her reasons for not are understandable, insofar as those kind of reasons ever are, but--it's on the self-serving side. So.

Asyr is pretty easy for me to write. She's reasonably straightforward, pretty friendly, and she loves to learn new things and absorb new facts. This makes playing her in-bar extremely easy, even with the friction of being Bound to deal with, too. Yay!

I think I captured Asyr best both in her conversation with Wells, early on, her initial talks with Gavin and Wes, because--yeah, and perhaps the most recent one with Emma, because that was a little of her mischief coming out, and I'm glad I got the chance to showcase that for once. *g*

Boy howdy do I have plans with her. I am really looking forward to seeing what I can do with her and playing with what she brings to the table both for Star Wars at large and for Milliways in general! Whoo!
