The thing I've seen most frequently messed up by Sister players is making her talk like a total valley girl. Don't, like, avoid using "like" where it, like, fits, but don't, like, pepper it, like, anywhere you can, like, justify putting it. She might be dumb and slutty but she's not a valley girl. Just. Don't stereotype her, y'know? Mimic what she's like in canon, not the box you think she should fit in. That seems like it should be obvious, but, like I've said, that's a failing I've seen a few people make.
With Sister, pushing limits is the name of the game. Her basic character concept is something like "there's no such thing as too ludicrous." She not only survives being stuck under ice for 3 hours, but when she gets fished out, she's pregnant. She's done pretty much every drug that exists and possibly even a few that haven't. Same with STD's. If you've got the Season 5 DVD, I strongly suggest watching all the deleted scenes; most of them feature Sister heavily.
She likes to tell stories about herself with plenty of TMI. She has no sense of this "boundaries" thing people keep talking about. But despite how chatty she is, she tends to overlook sharing important details, like, y'know, being a Blue or the fact that she's colorblind. She's pretty suggestible, and will take most anything she's told as fact, unless she's already come to her own conclusion and has reason to be suspicious of whoever it is that's trying to tell her something, and then it's basically impossible to convince her otherwise, cf. Wash being a cop.
That's all that comes to mind now. Anything you'd like me to ramble about in specific, OP?
