Also antagonists are hard for me to write.

The hardest person for me to write is one of my protagonists/ love interests of the main character, Natiselle. His name is Strisen and his twin brother Kraio, grew up with Natiselle. Nati and Kraio already have a great rapport, but Strisen has to build that relationship. He's been sheltered his entire life so he is very different from his twin but I am still having trouble differentiating between the two. I want to make a huge difference between the agape love between Kraio and Nati and the romantic love between Strisen and Nati. So far when I try to write him, he comes out as a naive Gary Stu.

The hardest person for me to write is Raja. i want to make him more serious, and with when he was born in the family timeline it's hard for me to be able to get a good feel on how a person in his situation would be mentally. On the other hand Theodore is the easiest for me to write. He's a narcissistic psychopath so I don't know what that says about me but oh well.

The hardest characters for me to write is someone who likes drama. I have a very laid-back "I don't care about rumors or gossip and if it doesn't have to do with me then I'm probably not interested" attitude, so it's hard for me to put myself in the shoes of someone who wants to know EVERYTHING, especially without accidentally writing them as stereotypical and bland and annoying (because that quality doesn't immediately make someone an annoying person in real life). Same can go for a person who's curious, so basically any main protagonist of a thriller/mystery/adventure, I just don't get it haha.

Erin for sure. I have no idea what I want to do with her.

I tend to make my characters have a lot of emotional depth, so the hardest for me is a static side character who doesn't really feel things a lot and is just very laid-back with no character development. It's hard to figure out what he'll do next because he doesn't have that depth to him like my protagonists do. It's quite frustrating.

Also, when I collaborate, it's very hard to write characters I don't create because I don't know what my partner intends to do with them…
