Let me guess, it's jaybie. It sounds like she's going to be a vehicle for your issues with your own parents, so my suggestion to you is to avoid making her so over-the-top awful that she descends into caricature.

LOL....vehicle for...what?

Pffft hardly. Yeah I get frustrated with my parents lately but I wouldn't class them nearly this character . Hell I actually love them a lot and while I get really upset with them and say stupid OTT shit in my emotional state. I'd never create a character to bash them because they don't deserve that. There's a reason I go anon for complainy shit , so I can get the bitching off my chest and just forget about it.

(though really it's more my situation than anything waiting for calls is so damn boring. I even got an interview with this publishing house that was all "Yeah welcome to the team, we'll email you later!" nada. I try not dwell because it makes me sad.)

The character is actually my attempt on creating a good scary female villain that was not "turned evil because a man hurt her /made her ". Or whatever. Sort of like Lady Macbeth. I remember reading her in 12th grade English and going "man we need more of this type of female character in lit." Then BOOM, this character in her original form was born. Also I'm inspired by reading psychology and watching Criminal Minds.

(around then my parents and I were cooler with each other.)

She's not all pure evil. In her own way she does want to care about them but she sort of has a weird way of doing it. Her own original parents were fucked up in that they were all concerned about appearances being the wealthy elite, convinced themselves they were good people. She does have a hint at some serious empathy and sociopathy type issues. In this timeline I guess (it's an offshoot story of another work I enjoy working with) where she wasn't the favored child thus in her mind she's decided she's the 'scapegoat'.

I don't want her to be a caricature because , hell that's not even slightly effective. She cares about her kids in her own way. She also cares about getting whatever she thinks will fill an emptiness she feels and make her truly happy. But like any human being it's impossible to be 100% happy there's always the thing we still want.

Though you are right on one. I DO go by Jaybie online. :)

I'm impressed. It's pretty damn hard to find out one persona if they use anon half the time.


TO ANON
