About the fairy tales:

I grew up reading lots of books with fairytales. I had a lot to choose from, so I grew up reading both popular ones (like Snow White) and not-so-popular ones (like Bearskin). Because of all this, I've always harbored an extreme love for these type of stories and I basically choose my favorites to make characters out of.

What I find to be embarrassing is that some of the fairytales I've read aren't the right version. I was given a collection of stories (not all fairytales) several years ago. I thought they were the novels, but it turns out they were actually summarized and simplified versions. I was mortified, because I thought that I had read the Wizard of Oz, Jane Eyre and some other stories, including the Call of The Wild and Beauty and The Beast. So, I have a few other OCs in the works, but I don't know if they are truly accurate because of this development.

So, yeah. I kind of base my characters off of certain traits or people or even objects and ideas that I see and build a person based on that only. I'm glad someone enjoys them because I usually hate my OCs :3 I think they aren't "good enough" and so, I'm surprised they get good feedback.
