Which character of yours do you relate most to? Why?

All of them! I can't really get into a character if I can't relate to them on some level, so all my OCs have a little bit of me in them.

Carey is the most blatant example - I draw from a lot of my own experiences writing her, and bits of her personality match up with mine (no filter, rambles a lot, needs to keep her hands occupied when talking, same sense of humor.)

Darla is relatable in that, in the in-character chatrooms, she presents herself as very silly and lively, but she's actually quite happy on her own and values her privacy. We also both tend to hold grudges and struggle with our inner demons.

Emily is relatable in a very personal way - she was incredibly sheltered and had everything done for her as a child, and so struggles a bit navigating the world as an adult. She shares my stims, and my childish temper / how I sometimes overcomplicate and oversimplify situations.

All my characters are exaggerations of my own traits, experiences or desires/dreams in some form.
