I took this from owlmoose because it looks interesting:

Pick a character I write, and I will give you the top five ideas/concepts/other I keep in mind while writing that character that I believe are essential to depicting them accurately.

I think you know precisely who I'd mention. :) But to avoid getting a taste of my own medicine with a smart response, Rosa from FF4!

1. She thinks and sees a good deal more than she ever says out loud.

2. She's known for a while that Cecil might be King. She knew that if she married him, she'd be marrying Baron too. She's come to terms with that, and she's willing to be Queen, but every now and then she daydreams about running away with him to the mountains.

3. She chooses her fights. Always. She has realized she doesn't have to look strong all the time; she simply has to be strong when it counts. She keeps most of her iron will hidden for this very reason.

4. Her first love has always been and will always be her White Magic. It colors everything she does.

5. She actually has a very sly sense of humor, but she prefers to keep it a secret, because she likes surprising people. (It's one of Rydia's favorite things about her.)

Feels accurate to me too. :) As you know I always felt there was a lot more to Rosa's character than most people see in her, and I think what you said captures all of it well. Thanks for answering!
