 How autobiographical are your characters?


Just for fun, and because I'm a tad bit bored (emoticon ), I want to know how alike you and your character(s) are. Do you share many of the same traits or are you completely different?

I'm very like Thea, or rather she is like me. Both stupid over animals for one thing. emoticon But yes, I base her on myself when I'm writing, so she's rather quiet and likes spending quite a bit of time on her own with her own thoughts, and prefers being with close groups of people rather than large gatherings.

I think she will probably turn out slightly more aggressive than me when provoked, but nothing too far removed from Jen.

I didn't really intend for Cailinn to be exactly like me, but a lot of who I am flowed into her character while I was writing. We look somewhat alike, although I do think that she is prettier, and have almost all of the same personality traits. Of course I am not twenty years old and my father wasn't killed by Orcs when I was four (emoticon ), but we share a lot of the same interests and hobbies and such. Both of us are very lively and talkative, and we each have a bit of a temper. *laughs* Loyalty and honesty are also things which are important to myself, as well as Cailinn, and we will each stand up for what we believe in.

I guess you could say that Cailinn is kind of like an older version of myself (with the exception of her being an Elf of courseemoticon )...perhaps she is how I'll be 5 years down the road..emoticon emoticon

I think that Asenath reflects me on some level, since she represents me in a way within our Company. I think there is a better picture of that in my tale's revision. You can't help but place yourself a bit in your writing when so many people know you by the name of your character. emoticon

Fairly close..though I'm more level headed, and not so indecisive with the men emoticon

I'm much more like Anne with boys...they're all fine and great till they want to get close, then I freak. I've been on...2 dates. Lol.

Blossom's about half autobiographical, half non-autobiographical. I am generally closer to some friends than others, but then again, I wouldn't go soak in someone's bathtub and end up marrying him! :laugh:

Well, I don't have Luth's dazzling beauty and gorgeous voice, but I pretty much have her same personality and think of myself as her especially when I'm with Lemon and Az and we call each other by our Company names.

Rea is like my opposite!! Lol

although I think she represents an overexaggerated version of what I want to be, and I have found myself becoming more like her over the years, she is kinda a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Mine has a little bit of me flowing through her, but she's a bit more daring than I would be. I think that she is my counterpart the person whom I would like to be...but I'm not quite there yet. emoticon
