Though I agree that she does seem a little too perfect in her capabilities and resources. Perhaps have her be a bit more fragile due to a lighter body structure? Regardless, shallow as it may be, she's gorgeous and looks like a very fun character for the game!Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16460304057808720423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082475348653129580.post-28527775326223991282014-08-15T11:26:35.339-07:002014-08-15T11:26:35.339-07:00Thank you very much for both your comments!
I fig...Thank you very much for both your comments!<br /><br />I figured that she needed some "weakness" or something in order to make her not that perfect, but I had a hard time to come up with anything useful.<br />Anyway, I really love some of those ideas (well, actually all of them are great), so I'll include some of that stuff into her personality.<br />I'll edit the blogpost later.<br /><br />Thank you very much!Wolfenstahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00023356190717160734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082475348653129580.post-26810805275143174732014-08-15T05:06:52.024-07:002014-08-15T05:06:52.024-07:00I have to agree. She is a bit too close to perfec...I have to agree. She is a bit too close to perfect. The question is now, "Do you want to keep her perfect (or as close to it as possible)?" <br /><br />If no, then those suggestions BladeFire said are going in the right direction for you, I'd say.<br /><br />If yes, then...she has to be imperfect in a nonserious way, so as to make her perfect in serious situations, but outside of that, she could be silly. Flaws make things interesting. <br /><br />Though it might seem cliche or common with this personality, she could have a crush on someone, anyone, that acts similarly to a commoner and it frustrates her to no end, moreso than a normal commoner, but still likes them. Very close to tsundere, I suppose.<br /><br />Another side to approach this on is...how dark or light do you want her backstory to be like? Judging from everyone else, it won't be a dark one, otherwise she might stick out way too much. A dark backstory has a lot of options and a lighter one...well, I'm blanking without going to humour. Which seems to brings us back to square one.<br /><br />Hopefully you can come up with something. The thing with her, basically, is that she is haughty without being haughty. Normally, you'd "break" a haughty character, but since she isn't trying to be haughty, you can't fault her for it. It's hard to put her in a bad situation without feeling really bad for her, unless it was a funny situation. So, what I think would be a decent idea would be to add another facet to her personality. That way you can play with another side of her while leaving what you wanted for her untouched. An issue I see with this is that it could make her seem like two characters rather than one if not done well.<br /><br />Sorry if I went in a circle a bit, I tend to do that. I don't know if you're familiar with tvtropes, but it may or may not help. I hope I didn't ramble on too long. <br /><br />http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BreakTheHaughty<br />http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/PlayingWith/BreaktheHaughty<br /><br />Aside from all that, she seems like a character I'd tease and mess with. Not to hurt her feelings but just to get her to act out of character.

You think something's m...Great post, as always.<br />You think something's missing, huh?<br />Well, I think I can see why, so here is my thought on that:<br /><br />Right now, she seems a bit too perfect.<br />In comparison to the other characters, you didn't talk about her flaws. Instead, she is this great harpy-queen, champion (and kind-of daughter) of the phoenix god, that is very noble but does not look down on people and even interacts with commoners, trying to better them, believing everyone can live in harmony and having this utopian dream of a world where everyone is very intellectual and noble and excellent to each other etc.<br /><br />The only downsides you did mention was, that she gets frustrated with commoners sometimes and starts to force them to act better. But I think she needs a bit more.<br /><br />Maybe make her a helpless idealist, who always believes in the good of people (because she thinks everyone can be noble etc) and that is why she might not be able to see the sinister nature of some people and how they are backstabbing others with malicious intend. It would make her blind towards behaviour like that.<br /><br />Or she might be too merciful to bad guys if they plead to her, getting tricked by them and letting them escape.<br /><br />Or another flaw could be that she can't deal well with being poor or being in everyday situations where she has to act like a commoner, because she always was rich and wealthy and had all those servants around her who would do everything for her. <br />So if she would be on a covert operation and had to live in a common house or inn, she would have trouble adjusting to "commoner life" or something.<br /><br />Just a few ideas I had in mind, other than that I think she is a cool character, with being able to fly and the wind magic she controls, I can think of a few cool games with her.BladeFirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01678100509439524925noreply@blogger.com
