development questions.

[Aria May Wright]

I found a whole bunch of character development questions here and I thought it would be really cool to fill them out for each of my characters as a development thing so I'm going to do it. It's based on fandoms and there's ten questions that relate to the theme of a given fandom for a whole bunch of different fandoms. You can check it out using the link think up above. I might do them out of order/not do some sets.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer

1. Does your character believe in the supernatural?
Aria doesn't discredit the idea. She's not going to say that it doesn't exist without proof, but she's not going to actively believe anything that she hasn't experienced.

2. Who is your character’s best friend?
Right now she's in a wanted ad, so I'm not going to name her. But they've known each other ever since they were little and now they live together. She brings out the best in Aria - or at least the more out going and adventurous side of her.

3. What was your character like in high school?
Pretty much the same as she is now, given that she's only been out of it for a couple months now. In her early high school years she had a bit of trouble with anxiety, depression and emotional issues but she eventually got a better hold of that and started excelling in her classes - mostly sciences and arts courses. She played in a band that struck out during sophomore year.

4. Who was your character’s first love? What were they like?
Aria met her first and only real love during freshman year, and they dated for a year and a half from the middle of sophomore to the end of junior. He was a good enough person, and brought out the good side of her. He saw her through the worst of her emotional issues and he was the best support system she ever had. She lost her virginity to him six months in to the relationship, and to this day he's still the only person that she's slept with. They broke up because their personalities were becoming too different, but she still cares about him.

5.Who or what does your character love to hate?
Her dad. Aria absolutely hates James Wright, and sees him as the cause of all the problems in her life and doesn't understand why he couldn't just love her mother forever like he'd promised to when he married her. He hates his life style and how he abandoned his family and everything about her.

6. Who or what is your character’s guardian angel?
Aria doesn't really have one, she thinks. She tends to be her real savior, seeing herself as the only person who can really care for her and using that to be best of her ability.

7. Who would your character dress up as for Halloween?
Aria hasn't gone out for Halloween since she was thirteen, but if she were she would go out as something rather obscure - make her own costume. Or add her own little touch to something - dead Alice in Wonderland or something.

8. What is your character’s biggest regret?
Aria tells people that she lives without regrets, but that's basically a lie. Her biggest regret is flirting like she did after her and her love broke up, going from boy to boy basically every week. She never slept with them, but her 'promiscuity' became known around her school and it was bullshit that she absolutely hated.

9. How does your character perceive strangers?
Aria's perception of strangers depends on various situations. For the most part she is rather accepting of strangers, seeing them in a mostly positive light unless they give her the creeps.

10. What does the term “fighting” mean to your character?
Physical, mental or verbal disputes with something besides you. Well, including you. It's possible to be in a fight with yourself, and she realizes that a lot of people suffer from mental illness and basically are fighting against themselves. Fighting means that Aria wants to avoid it.
