Pick a character and I will give and explain the top five ideas/concepts/etc I keep in mind while writing that character that I believe are essential to accurately depicting them. Any and all characters welcome (including ones I haven't written but might know about...)

1. Susan is practical, because she thinks nobody else will be. Which is not entirely true - but in fairness to her, her siblings have been leaving practical things to her for a long time.

2. Susan had sex in Narnia - kind of a lot of sex, actually. She knows what she likes, and she's kinda hella good in bed. Going back to English adolescents left her very sexually frustrated.

3. It's not that Susan doesn't like Lucy, it's just that sometimes she thinks Lucy comes from another planet.

4. Susan was "the Gentle" for very nearly the same reason Ed was "the Just": because she's actually fairly judgmental and harsh, and she fights against those tendencies in herself.

5. Being sent away from Narnia broke Susan's heart. She didn't get what she needed there - Narnia validated her beauty, but the world around her has always done that. She feels abandoned, and like it's her fault. She was angry when she heard that Lu and Ed got to go back again, and she didn't. She doesn't feel very much older than Lucy - but apparently Aslan doesn't care how she feels, just how she looks.

Oh, <3, as in breaking mine.
