My faves alternate between a few but right now (and for much of the past 6 years) it’s Vesper.
I love her in just about every way. I think she’s a very admirable person, flaws and all. She is powerful beyond reproach, and bears a rare combo of pride and selflessness about her overcompetence: she gives herself completely to service of something greater, and thinks everything that goes wrong in her vicinity must be her fault, because she clearly has the capabilities to prevent anything from going wrong ever. She wants to keep everything in control, and she is so stressed. I love her so much.
Do they relate to you at all?
Yeah, in a way. Her internal conflict is one I deal with a lot myself—viewing one’s skills + efficiency highly and demanding too much of oneself as a result. She’s also nonbinary and asexual, which, oddly enough, makes her the only OC of mine who matches me in both those things.
- Have they changed over the years (if applicable)
After the initial change (from when she was a crazed killer to her current more refined personality, a couple weeks after I created her), not much. She’s gained some depth since I’ve written a lot about her, both in the story she’s from and in other material, but at the core she’s always been a cool, hypercompetent ww2 soldier/weapon with electric powers, who thinks she has to be responsible for everyone in her line of sight.
- Do you buy or request art/physical items/stuff about/for them?
Not much. I have seen very few artists who grasp her “aesthetic” and can capture the specific look I have in mind for her (I’m very particular with art I buy) and I’ve only commissioned two drawings of her so far. My friends do draw her a lot as gifts (because they know I like her, rightly so) and I wish I could find more artists to draw her.
