User blog comment:BladeOfHope/When creating characters.../@comment-34633311-20161123200448

When creating characters, I try to make mine lovable but flawed - they always have some big flaw that makes them hate themselves at times. I also try to differ from the norm - for example, in my human characters, the male ones aren't necessarily "handsome" and the female ones aren't necessarily "thin" either. Society always tells us that we have to look or act a certain way, and that's something I try to avoid when making a character. I will not let society tell me that my main character needs to be straight or attractive or anything.
