Day Five: Tell us about a character you wish you still played.
This is in both alphabetical order and order that I miss the characters wish is pretty cool!
Evie Anderson: I still have her at bnf but it's not the same because she's older and slightly more subdued (she sometimes uses full stops instead of exclamation marks!) and she's not Demi Lovato (although I do think Sarah Ruba works well for older her) and I just miss her! She's one of the easiest characters I've ever played, I could always think of something for her to update of and her reactions to things came easily and she was just a lot of fun. People that enthusiastic in life really annoy me, but I think that's because with them (at least, the ones I know) it seemed really fake whereas Evie genuinely was that excited about EVERYTHING. I also miss randomly capsing words and putting exclamation marks everywhere, although I do now do that more when I'm chatting with friends online. Anyway, Evie was a favourite of mine and I miss her!
Fred Weasley: In contrast to Evie, I don't find Fred easy to play. I always worry about whether what he's doing seems canon and whether he;s funny enough and everything but I still love Fred. He was the first character I picked up when I started Journal roleplaying and then playing him again at 91 was great! I loved the log where he made Lavender fly around the room and I loved his conversations with Meaghan where he made up family members and stuff. He's just a character that you can do so much fun stuff with and it would be fun to still play him.
James Potter: I go through long periods of thinking I don't even have my James muse anymore and then short periods of missing playing him. Currently I'm in the missing him stage which is why he's on this list. Like Fred, he's a challange because of the canon thing but at the same time I think there's more flexibility with James because he's in the books less. Also like Fred, he's the sort of character you can do sort of crazy stuff with but what I really love about him is his relationships with people, especially the marauders and Lily. Friendships are really great to play out and James has such close, interesting, fun friends.
Also sometimes I miss playing Parvati but that's more in a 'Parvati was really fun to play' way than a 'I want to play Parvati again' one.
