Heya akina

I don't resemble Helena at alll I am more outgoing and over the top while she's more shy and in her own little world sweet girl I would befriend her but total opposites her and I for sure.

Ok so Asa has had a journey lol. She's not a self-insert, no, but a lot of her story map draws from my personal experience and so do aspects of her personality.

So at first she was kinda angsty and ugh I'm embarrassed by the threads I wrote with Angst Asa lol. I had to remind myself that she is, in fact, eleven, and decided to make her more spastic, light-hearted, and less in control than she once was (similar to me at eleven). She's just a facet of myself, as are all my characters even in my original works.

good night guys

i think a lot of people forget they're playing young characters at first its a learning experience

Felt this it is hard to get in a mindset of an eleven year old but like that age is also a bit of a struggle because of the changes going especially going to a school away from your parents and their are things that can be added that works for this age group for sure angst be more for thirteen age but eleven would be more of a curious and nervous approach or at least I feel like that at least.

You're both absolutely correct!^^ It has a bit of a learning curve, especially if the character being played is adapted from one that has always been an adult prior to this setting. There is no shame in "angsty" or "cringy" writing (or characters, I absolutely adore them), it is all in good fun and is essential for growth as both a writer and character creator!

It is such a learning curve but honestly I think everyone does pretty well, you're all such good writers!

Actually, Astra is adapted from an adult character I had no story for and when I spontaneously decided to sign up for this site I did not read the rules so here we are lol. That's why her aunt is also named Astra, cos she's the original Astra Norrick

Two Astras
