(no subject)
Ganked from KB. Rikku for now, perhaps Reno at a later date. They're the only two I really think of as 'complex'. (This counts for both Rikkus I play, will make note as to which I'm talking about)
Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is she heavyset, thin, short, rangy? Rikku's pretty short and thing, but she, surprisingly has some muscle. In XI this is from swimming and running, in TST it's from running.
2. How old is she? 17 in XI, 19-almost-20 in TST

5. How does she move? Is she clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid? ...Okay, Rikku's a klutz. But a graceful klutz. She moves fluidly and is a bit like a cat minus the 'always landing on your feet' thing. She lands on her butt.
6. How attractive is this character physically? How does she perceive herself in the mirror? She's about average-not quite average on the pretty scale. She's more cute, and she really doesn't always think she's the prettiest/cutest, though she know that she is good-looking. Over at XI Harry's been telling her she's sexy so that helps.
7. Describe her complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred? Clear, though she still has scars from the bombings.
8. Describe her hair: color, texture, style. REALLY FRICKIN' LONG. Braided all the time, but really fine and blonde and soft.

13. Do her clothes fit well? Does she seem comfortable in them? Yes and yes.
14. Does she dress the same on the job as she does in her free time? If not, what are the differences? Hahaha no. XI she wears older shirts and jeans, in TST she wears a lot less leather and nicer things.

5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet? At TST? I'd say Kimhiro and Ichigo, possibly Paine. Met 'em all on the Way.

16. How does she feel about sex? How important is it to her? At TST? She blushes, but given her family she understands that not everyone thinks it's as special as she does. At XI, she and Harry are fairly active (haven't actually DONE it, but are fairly close), and she loves it because she's really close to Harry afterwards. It's not a big thing for her, though.
17. What are her turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits? Rikku loves a man who doesn't mind getting sweaty for work. Engine grease is an added bonus, as are muscles.
