OC MEME! \o/ I shamelessly stole this from ~hakojo, whose artworks I adore. c: It's really long but it got me thinking again, which is good!

Who is:
Your loudest character?
My characters tend to be sweet and polite - annoyingly so - so Victoria takes the cake.

Your shyest?
Carina's part of my in-progress-and-probably-never-to-be-finished Vega trilogy. In the first book, she's extremely shy.. or at least quiet and introverted. She has so many opportunities available but she's too scared to try them. She changes throughout the years, at least. (In an early draft, she had a crush on a commoner friend of hers and he never found out until she practically died ten years later.. Yeah, she's shy.)

Your angriest?
Gieti, and, oh, how I love him for it. He's supposed to have dark blond hair and purple eyes, but lately his eye color has been shifting, in my head, to reddish-brown. He's a prince, by the way, so why he's all hot and bothered is beyond me at times. I've written for the story he's in over here ([link]). His sister Carina is the protagonist (he's a pseudo-antagonist), though, so there's not much of him recorded online.

Your horniest?
Nodia, Nodia, Nodia all the way. Her real name is Svetlana Vodianova (Nodia from Vo-DIA-NO-va) and she's Russian but working in Germany/Switzerland, I forget where. She's not really horny, but she's a black widow - she doesn't love guys, instead lusting after them and leaving them once she's had them. I love her so bad. [I've written as her here ([link]) and here ([link]).]

Your poorest?
I like my girls rich. Catalina probably is the poorest, though; she lives in a small apartment in London with her mother during her summer breaks, sometimes alternating with her father. Her father is rich and he works with an airline like mine used to, but now Cat's dad has been promoted and works behind a desk. Cat loves high-class things but she's content as long as she and her family are safe and happy. (Cat's PB is Lisa Origliasso. ~CatalinaLaBonita)

Oh, wait - I think Elisabethe and Margaret are the poorest! They live in pre-World War II Germany and their financial situation isn't good.. They're just fortunate that their mother is an old crush - er, friend - of one of the best doctors in the country. (: I never looked too much into it, though.. They're comfortable and thankful for what they have. Awww, they're too good.

Your richest?
Let's not pay attention to the goddesses/demons in my old stories, like Yukino and Kira! (I cringe when I think about them and my other old characters. Ugh.) Carina and Gieti are royalty, too. Let's talk about sorta-ordinary people.

Now Victoria's from an old family with old money, so theoretically she should be the richest, but she's down-to-earth so I can't totally consider her the richest. Nodia is the winner of this round. She doesn't gamble, but she indulges in retail therapy, splurges in Las Vegas and around Europe, and in other, uh, unmentionable things.

Your craziest?
They're all very normal. None of them reaches any psychological extremes, which is why it's so hard for me to answer this! Gieti, probably, though. Nodia's twisted, but she seems very sophisticated, not at all crazy unless she's talking to a, uh, victim of hers.

Your weirdest?
Riku/Amalia. I made her back in the sixth grade, and I was heavily influenced by Weiss Kreuz. She was a teenage girl during the day and an assassin at night.. which makes me cry tears of humiliation. How could I have made her?! D:

At first she was extremely airheaded, giggling and acting like the type of teenage girl I used to wish that I were, but as she grew up (with me), she became, like, quieter and more reasonable. She's currently in love with a tall, dark, and handsome young millionaire, which could be why she's trying to live up to the reputation of her guy, bwahaha. I love her because of the nostalgia, mostly.

Who was:
Your first character?
My first ever character was a winter/snow goddess named Yukino. At the time I was interested in snow goddesses because of a then-popular anime magazine called Questor, and there was a feature on snow goddesses in different anime series that caught my attention.

Yukino was so stereotypically.. ugh. You know. She was nice and polite and always wore a kimono. She also had blue hair and either red or green eyes. (I'm cringing now. Can you see me?) I don't like remembering the things I made her do since they're horribly embarrassing. But I'll always remember her.. How could I not?!

Skip this other character, Kira. Why don't I want to talk about her? Two words: Gensoumaden Saiyuki. I was influenced. I won't go into detail, but, as ~hakojo succinctly said, 'Yeah, I only ever draw from my 'official' OCs - everyone I made up before that is pretty much just a variation of OMG SPESHUL, and it's like D:'. Soooo. Yeah. 8)

Your most recent character?
Victoria Clymenestra Schmidt! I actually had a character named Isabella Marie Clarke who was supposed to be Catalina's twin sister (Isabella would have been done by Jessica Origliasso), but the RPG in which I tried out for Isabella thought that Cat and Izzy were too close and would end up interacting with each other more than with others. The RPG died, which is good (ha ha) so there is almost no record of Izzy's existence.

I'd been thinking of someone like Victoria for some time though, so I managed to change Isabella into Victoria. Tor was supposed to have tons of siblings, but a twin felt better. The twin, Konrad, is a bit of Dmitri, the brother of Ekaterina Ryazanova up there (I see Chace Crawford when I think of them) but he's darker psychologically. (I also get the feeling that Dmitri is gay. I can't see him being with a woman!)

All right, I take back my first answer. Konrad is the most recent, but I haven't used him yet; he only lives in my head. I've never written as him or from his perspective yet. Hmmm, new thing to do!

List three of your characters and three traits they possess:
Since they're underloved..

Margaret - compassionate, understanding, resigned
Dmitri - charismatic, loyal, protective
Catalina - conflicted, secretive, loving

Out of all of your characters, whom are you most like?
I have no idea! My characters are all, in a way, people I'd like to be, or whom I wish I had the courage to be. Catalina and Ekaterina are like me because of how seriously they take their studies, but they're far more awesome than I am.

Actually, now that I think about it, Ekaterina and Catalina are achievers, academically, and formal and polite. Isabella and Victoria are loudmouthed athletes. Nodia and Riku/Amalia are beautiful murderesses. Gieti and Johann are tall and angsty, though Gieti is more awesome. Dmitri and Konrad are dark and mysterious. Elisabethe and Margaret? Good gosh, I have no idea. I'm not as close to them as I should be. But, still, ilu both. c:

Do any of your characters have pairings? If so, then list a song that fits for each of three pairings. (I'm disregarding this. I'm listing songs!)
Johann & Margaret. I've got so many songs for them! (If it's not obvious, they're a very depressing couple. 8D) Margaret dies at the end, but that's not a spoiler. It's, like, the first thing I was sure of in the story. The songs marked with an asterisk, by the way, are the ones I'm unsure of; Elisabethe is also in love with Johann, and I made several playlists for Johann/Margaret and Johann/Elisabethe so I'm not sure if the asterisked songs are J/M or J/E. 8D

Victoria/herpastboyfriend. I forgot to write this about Victoria, but she loves men until they say that they want to marry her. She just can't be committed. She's loved and lost because the chase is more fun than the winding-down. She really loved the guy she was last with, but she doesn't want to be tied down in that way. (She's PB-ed by Sara B, btw. :> It helps that Sara's songs fit so well!)

Ekaterina/Dmitri. BUT WAIT! It's not a couple!pairing. It's a brother/sister thing. They have a weird relationship and history. Long story short, though, after graduation, Dmitri left Russia to travel the world and to get away from his and Ekaterina's oppressive parents. Katya (yes, that ended up being her nickname) has not seen him in years and she misses him so much. He's her other half. She will never get married, probably, because his leaving made her traumatized. :c Poor girl.

& DONE. It took me how many hours to finish this. I seriously love my very few characters so much. <3 Also, if it's not obvious, I ramble. But yes. (: Good one, Katya!
