Quistis.

SQUEEEEEE!!

(a) Um, that she's like me. No, really. First of all, she looks like me, which is entirely superficial. But we also share a lot of the same traits: a semi-precocious, talented, mature young woman in a man's world who can be extremely insecure and sometimes has a really hard time knowing how to deal with other people and doesn't really understand the basic nature of "feelings" and how to express them.
(b) Motivated, talented, efficient
(c) Desperate need for acceptance/approval
(d) Actually, it depends. Normally I find Quistis very, very easy to write. However, if it's a bad day, we have serious arguments inside my head problems.
(e) Well, Shine Like Gold is all about her, but I don't necessarily think it's my best portrayal - although maybe the first chapter is still pretty good. HNtDB has also been successful.
(f) Um, all the time. Finishing HNtDB, and my cracked-out Sorceress FFVIII Prequel.

Oh god, that reminds me of the Sorceressy connector story that I've redone the format on like five billion times. I know what I want to say, I have ALL THE META but goddamn if I don't know how to put it in a story format.

I might have to do something very strange, as I really want to tell this story. XD And now I've got the politician!Rinoa thingy in my head after being disappointed on a review of this story and wanting to make FF8 make sense.

But yes, I wanted to jump on the Quistis one, as I was the first poster. XD

wanting to make FF8 make sense.

That's impossible. :P

I know what you mean about writing vs planning - I've got all of the meta worked out for my FF8 crackverse Prequel, honestly, I've got pages and pages of notes, but when it comes down to writing it in a way that doesn't read like a history book, I'm boned.
