a. What initially prompted me to write/draw them.

Heh, actually, it was that I had written a Gokudera-centric fic and a Yamamoto-centric fic (well, it was kind of 8059 gen but leaning more toward Yama), and since Tsuna was my THIRD FAVORITE, I felt like I owed him one too. XD

b. One of their best traits.

His heart. That even though he's terrified of the world in general and hopelessly unsure of himself, he's still willing to fight for the people he loves. I've always loved Tsuna for being a "weak" character who's still a hero in spite of that. (In fact, I actually like normal Tsuna more than Dying Will Tsuna for that reason.)

c. One of their worst traits.

He's whiny and clumsy and insecure and wimpy and overreacts to everything, and... er, we could go on for a while.

d. How easy/difficult I find it to write/draw the character.

He's actually one of the more difficult characters for me to write. I can write about him well enough, but when I actually try to write him, I tend to struggle a lot. The thing is, he's full of contradictions, and it's hard to figure out where No Good Tsuna ends and Tsuna the future leader of Vongola begins. He's got this quality that's really hard to pin down, and I feel like unless I can get that it's not even worth bothering. I guess he sorta intimidates me, lol. XD

e. The moment where I feel that I truly captured the character.

The last few paragraphs of this fic, about how he shies away from success and recognition. Tsuna's reluctance to accept that kind of role is one of his most defining traits as a character, I think. It's one of the things that makes him Tsuna.

f. My plans to write/draw the character in the near future.

I'm currently attempting to write 5YL!him in the fic I mentioned here, and there are also a couple of one-shots featuring him that I've started and then abandoned out of frustration. XD If I ever work out the kinks in writing him, I might finish one of those. Hopefully. o/
