Musing on writing, plus meme

winterI've been writing fanfic sporadically at best over the past year or so, but that doesn't mean I haven't been writing. Several original projects are circling at the edge of my consciousness; Roses for Lucifer are threatening to blossom into something even bigger; and of course there is the cowritten soap opera that I promise will be available for consumption. Soon. I've got it all saved until mid-July, all 400 scenes of it!
In the meantime, meme - and even though I haven't posted anything with them yet, I'd love if someone asked about POTC characters. I may have signed up for a ficathon, and this time no Project From Hell on the horizon to interfere with it :)
Name a character that you know I write or have written (or roleplay or have roleplayed), 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/chapter/paragraph/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character
f. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future

That, I believe, would be one Maki Ichiro. And Vlad Draculea's reaction to hir legs. Then se started talking about hir origins and hasn't shut up since.
b. One of his/her best traits
...se has good ones? Probably diligence, and honour.
c. One of his/her worst traits
The list is a mile long, but the tendency to read three times too much into any word or action tops it.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character
Se. Won't. Shut. Up.
e. The story/chapter/paragraph/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character
Probably the Tara storyline, the scenes with Amidio, Tara and Ildri where what se did to keep Tara alive is revealed. Especially the Ildri scene, because that's what Than is - obsessive and dutiful enough to feel that punishment should not be avoided if se transgressed against the Death laws, even if it means hir own end.
f. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future
*GLARES*
Also, finish up hir and Vlad's love story.
