Question: Who's My Favorite Character(s) to Write?

No one asked the question, but for archive purposes, I'll label this as a question - who is my favorite character to write? 

Cyras has clearly become my mascot. She's even my representative, my ambassador. If I'm writing with someone, she's the first one I send out. This is partially because of how malleable she and her story are. The main parts really are just: -She was born somewhere else, she's not used to the customs where she's at now, and where she's at now is someplace different. A very universal theme, and with her curiosity, she can always move forward. 

She can be a lot more nurturing or a lot more antagonistic and violent. This isn't to say she has no set personality, just that there's plenty of parts to tap into. She's not rebellious; she's just not trusting of the law, and does, in fact, work for the Empress. 

Anyway, so I use her the most in roleplays. But that being said, is she my favorite to write? 

In the sense of in general, yes. But for emotional scenes, to be honest, I find myself more in tune with Lilu a lot of times. She's either the awkward person in the background or the one making everything awkward. I find her very understandable. I also tend to enjoy having her bully Ahmond or making sarcastic remarks, where she doesn't really seem to mean anything to the same extent that Rosod might with her viciousness.

I find Owlis probably the most difficult to write for, then Rosod. For Rosod, a lot of the case is that I can't really showcase most of her trauma that's clearly happening off-screen. In Owlis' case, she's just a wild card. 

But then again, Cyras is easiest and funnest to write, but I feel like a good Owlis is worth her weight in saffron. 

Alright, well that's my thoughts.
