i feel like a good portion of my teenage years was defined by trying to find an identity, or trying to fit in. in the case of Ever After High, one's destiny can sometimes become one's entire identity – or alternatively, it can be so different from one's identity that you can't possibly imagine yourself filling in those shoes.

upon thought, i feel as if my OCs reflect that? i think what's present in my OCs is that constant struggle for what they believe in, whether that be justice or merely being themselves. they all have some sort of inner strife or discomfort. it could be in themselves, or in the world, but whatever it is, they are never wholly satisfied.

(and if they are, well, they won't be for long)

so yeah, i'll say what keeps me interested in my OCs is conflict. often it's between themselves and their identity, sometimes it's between themselves and others.

(im sure there's other things that keep me invested, but conflict was the one that first came to mind!! i'll comment again if i think of anything else.)
