hi there! i saw that u left a comment on chiffony's wall about help concerning ur oc. but i have quite a bit of advice for u so i thought it might be best and easier if i leave it all on ur wall instead~

so, first of all, i would say that you should start by using the character page template, so that ur oc's page is organized, neat, and in uniform with the rest of the ocs here on the wikia. the link is right here and all u have to do copy the entire thing, edit ur oc's page, and paste it all in c: and then fill out the template as much as you would like

i would also focus on making your oc as realistic and "canon" as possible. so basically, ask urself "would a real character from ever after high have ____?". its a good tip to keep ur oc relatable, realistic, but also still fits well with the world of ever after high. i use that tip all the time myself when i write my ocs. of course, that's not to say that there are some things we just don't know about the eah world yet so its fine to have some creativity. but i would suggest that maybe rose witch doesn't have a super huge room that fits 100 ppl in it? because it doesnt seem like that would be possible - all the characters we see (apple, raven, briar, maddie, daring, etc. etc.) they all have one roommate they share a room with. so keep that in mind c:

i also noticed that rose seems to be connected with all fairy tales? i would suggest against that. it would be absolutely fine if she had maybe two destinies, but that would be the majority i would suggest to give a character. otherwise, it gets confusing, it clutters up her page, and i dont think its within the realm of reality to have her be connected to all fairy tales. there are just some tales ur character won't be apart of, and thats ok c: its better to focus on one story because it allows u to focus on developing ur oc without having all these destinies trying to define her

and my last bit of advice to give u is to always make sure ur oc is balanced. don't be afraid to give rose some weaknesses and flaws. that is what makes her endearing and relatable to others. if u make her too powerful or too perfect, then theres no way she can be developed. and developing an oc is part of the fun of making characters in the first place. or at least i think so! ^-^ keep in mind that even fictional characters have good traits and bad traits. for example, maybe rose is gullible? maybe she doesn't like to share? maybe she gets angry easily and lashes out at others? all of those things make a character interesting, flawed, and realistic. it's all about finding a balance

hopefully this advice helped in some way!! and if u ever need any more help with pretty much anything (character design, personality, backstory, etc. etc.) i'm always happy to help! c: i'm excited to see how u develop rose < 3 i have faith she'll turn out wonderful!~
