a. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her. Heh. I discovered Pollyanna as a book rather late (say, age 24?) and in many ways, it was a revelation to me, at that point in life. Then for a while I was channeling her for a very long while (there are many comments on my MUN Lj where people call me Pollyanna-like even ;) ) Then I started roleplaying (yes, later) and I discovered that I could open my wings wide, writing muses (eventually), and I just said... let's try this and see what happens.
b. One of his/her best traits. Um. It's Pollyanna. The Glad game. I don't think she plays it, anymore, she is it.
c. One of his/her worst traits. She's naive. She will believe what people tell her.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character. Heh. It's actually difficult, because she's a content person. And I've not grown good enough at plotting explosions in characters' lives on my own yet to actually put her to activity.
e. The story/thread/chapter/post/paragraph/tag/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character. "I am glad." ... sorry. I haven't written her enough to come up with stuff of my own...
f. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future. Actually get to write her. There are a few justprompts things I'm getting writing ideas from and I do want to explore the story from her PoV. See if and what ways she can interact with people who RP (although to be honest, a lot of the muses on sws honestly scare both me and her >.>) ahem. Generally, write her! ;)
