“Imagine being the descendant of a fairy tail. Hah! Couldn’t be me!”
Character asks!
These are more focused on the background stuff rather than the usual "what would the character do in XY situation" kinds of asks. I've been looking for something like this for quite a while and in the end decided to make my own. Feel free to use, go wild, enjoy
- What was the original thought that led to the creation of this character?
- How long was the process before the character reached its final version? (or a version that would be clearly recognizable as the character?)
- What was the first thing you decided on, the character's name, appearance, personality or their role in the story?
- And reverse, which one of the four things did you struggle with the most?
- How did you choose their name and why? Was it simply based on vibes or is there any specific meaning behind the name? Are the reasons behind their name different in- and out of universe?
- What was the thought process behind their appearance? Did you go mostly for the aesthetic or are there other reasons they look the way they do?
- What is an aspect of their appearance that you like the most?
- What is the origin of their personality? And let's be honest - how much of it is projecting?
- How big is their role in the story? Do they make a frequent appearance or are they a character with little "screentime" but big influence? Or are they just a favourite background guy?
- What is their main character arc in the story? Where do they start and how do they develop? Do they get a happy ending or is their story a tragic one?
- Is there any existing character from other media that your character resembles? Was the resemblance intentional or was it a coincidence?
- Do you have a playlist for the character? What songs do you associate with them and why?
- Do you have a voice claim for the character? What do you imagine the character sounds like?
- Do you have any quotes tied to the character, either from the story itself or from another source that fit them?
- Have you ever made a moodboard for them?
- Is there any memes or running jokes associated with the character, both in- and out of universe?
- Are there any motifs or symbols associated with the character? How are they represented, in their design, personality or in some other way?
- Does the character have other characters connected to them? Do you have a family tree and "offscreen" connections made up for them or do they exist in a vacuum purely for the purpose of the story?
- What is your general favourite thing about the character? What is your least favourite?
- Bonus question: share any additional thoughts, art, favourite scenes, anything you've been waiting for a chance to ramble about

Cassy and Pilripat 20
Heheheh, had the feeling you would go with this pair
20.-What is their best memory together?
For Pirlipat it would be their meeting, seeing the this curious hummingbird flying to her window, the most curious part is that the hummingbird had a human head, and that she didn't had bad reaction towards her cursed appearance.
For Cassy wouldn't be one specific, she really liked when she brought Pirlipat a gift and her eys lighten up, her favorites one was when she brought her flowers and she loved it so much, as she never saw flowers before. Turns out that was the case, which sadden her, so she made an effort to bring her different kinds of flowers
Thank you for the ask Beth!
