Meme time!
Ganked from trialia:
Name a character that you know I write or have written, 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/thread/chapter/post/paragraph/tag/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character. This part may be a little tricky with SOME of the characters, but I'll do my best.
f. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future.
A list of the characters can be found here. I have written others, but not as consistently.

Oooh cookies!
She is made of contrasts. And also, she wasn't appealing to me until Small Favor added the extra drama/tragedy to her story.
I think in Death Masks, it's said that the knowledge is passed form mother to daughter at birth, while in Small Favor, it says that the Archive's knowledge is passed to the daughter usually after the daughter has already had a daughter of her own (yes, I do need to revisit my textev, but I think that was an actual contradiction - probably JB changed his mind), but the fact that it placed her as different from any other Archive before her suddenly appealed to me. Also, the stuff about her mother's suicide. Also, the fact that, summarily, Ivy-the-girl is pretty much almost broken down by what happened. I need to write her to flesh that out, but that was... fascinating.
Besides. She's cute.
b. One of his/her best traits.
Courage - and resilience.
c. One of his/her worst traits.
Not that much of a bad trait as a vulnerability - she's still a child. And, as recently discussed, she's facing adolescence in the near future.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.
Moderately. She's a bit too complicated to be easy to write, and I sometimes catch myself doing research before writing - because she's supposed to know. And I don't mean just scanning through things - actual in-depth reading up on stuff.
But her voice is still... clear.
And she likes kitties!
e. The story/thread/chapter/post/paragraph/tag/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character.
The fact that she did come out of her veil for Harry, and would have for Kincaid too. Despite all the many reasons to stay safe.
I still have to write something where I capture her character well.
f. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future.
Get to know her, first, and then figure out what she's doing next. But there's a lot to find out about her, before anything else.

Re: Oooh cookies!
Bah, another reason to find her intriguing - the parallels with Alia from Dune...
Re: Oooh cookies!
Kincaid says he's willing to follow her lead when she knows best, and he'd follow her lead or Murphy's or even the vampire's (I think he means Thomas) if they knew best. It's a matter of what's practical.
Re: Oooh cookies!
Gah, that's frightening.
... and Murph says he'd follow her lead so that he could watch her ass, not because any other reasons.
Re: Oooh cookies!
Heh. Kincaid is frighteningly practical. And he says her ass is well worth watching. Lech.
Re: Oooh cookies!
lol
And she says, I knew it.
