Honestly, there is pretty much no character that is completly different from any other character in the world. That's why Ever After High OCs are fun to make. In this world, you can add many twists that wouldn't be found in other fandoms. In EAH, to me, backstory is everything to a character. The daughter of a friendly princess doesn't just end up turning into a demon. If the story doesn't feature something like that, it doesn't truly make sense. So I start by reviewing how their story could effect them and maybe even adding some twists to make it more interesting. Sometimes, as bad as it seems, I start with a stereotype (when they are in grade school), then I see what I can to to make them grow out of that stereotype. It helps me think about what kind of character they are and how they can grow even more. Basically, I read a tale, make up a backstory, see how that effects the character, make the personality, flesh it out, then make details to make them more interesting.

I feel the books did a pretty good job because they show things from the characters point of view. As for the webisodes..... Ehh not so much. I feel that they just make problems for characters and solve them, but I think the character become OOC to solve those problems. Still, I think that they need to focus on more charcters other than new ones/Apple and Raven.
