crankyoldmanPick a character I write, and I will give you the top five ideas/concepts/other I keep in mind while writing that character that I believe are essential to depicting them accurately.
If you don't know a fandom I write, if it's a movie, there's a chance I've thought about writing for it. I've rated 1136 movies on Netflix, with roughly 40 of them being ones I don't want to see. Or hell, say "random original character". I have plenty of those. XD

2. It takes her a long time to forgive Cid for not killing her like he promised.
3. When she used to feel the weight of generations of sorceresses on her mind, she went swimming in very cold water. She's still more comforted by cold than by warmth when she feels unstable, though since she's lost her powers she has to be careful with that.
4. She's ridiculously well-read, part of the reason that she and Cid got along so well, aside from the Sorceress and Knight dynamic.
5. She doesn't deliberately withhold information; just people have always assumed that she didn't know anything and never asked.

1. The voices really are just in his head. Marni's actual ghost sometimes wonders why she even married him.
2. In some ways he likes idealized dead Marni more than alive Marni; in this state she's completely perfect, and flagellates him only as much as he wants.
3. Compartmentalizing is the only way he can function on a normal level at all. His strongest compartments are his Daddy Compartment, Repo Man Compartment, and his Talking to Rotti Compartment. When Marni was alive there was also Nice for Marni Compartment.
4. He actually did get over Shilo growing up, and with as little Marni-associating as possible. This was a big step for him. Too bad that was minutes from death.
5. He's exceeding proud of the preserving job he did with Marni's corpse.
