Certainly! Sorry for such a delay, life got in the way and illness as well prevented me from answering this.

I think the secret to having an unique character is a complex personality, one that is both human and not. We have to be aware that they do exist in another world, but it's always good to have a touch of humanity so that people can connect to the character.

Now that I've said my typical spiel, let me start the review.

Rather than saying cynical of people, Súil should be cynical with people. Anyways, her other characteristics are neat, but undeveloped. Like I always say, I'd like to see more motivation and elaboration.

For example, maybe say that she is pleasantly surprised by having company, but isn't used to it lasting long? Maybe, she really doesn't like company all that much, but is ok with people wanting to hang out with her?

I think an interesting concept would be if she views humanity apathetically, as if she were a different species. Or maybe her curse actually forces her to distance herself from others. I'm grasping at straws here because when you're sick, you don't have good ideas.

As for Truly? Kindness is a very general trait, which is where I come in. What sort of kindness? Is she... Kind to people she likes talking to? Kind to people that talk to her? Kind to people who are in need of charity? Everyone? Animals? Family? Friends? Teachers? Children? Prisoners? Elaborate, elaborate and elaborate!

Like I said at the beginning, you don't need to use a specific archetype. Just combine different traits and flaws until you feel you've gotten a unique idea. That's how I roll, anyways. There should be parallels between OCs, but not too many, you know?
