There is literally not a single entry on my friendslist at the moment that doesn't have this meme in it. AND PEOPLE ARE RESPONDING TO IT, which is the astonishing part. So why be unique?

Name a character that you know I write or have written (or RP or have RPed), and I’ll tell you

a. Mostly, I was wondering what it'd be like to write/play a prostitute who was not, you know, an angstwhore jonesing for her next hit or in mad passionate love with her pimp. XD And then it occured to me that the best way to escape that was to move him or her to a setting where prostitution was not a last resort or a job done to support some sort of out-of-control need, so of course I thought of Companions. And then it occured to me that that would be a really amusing concept for a Simon/Kayleespawn, a kid going through Companion training.
b. She's level-headed and nurturing.
c. Probably she's a bit too distant on principle, maintaining a professional distance from most of the people in her personal life.
d. Fairly easy. She started out sort of difficult but I think I'm growing into her.
e. There's a story I wrote for blindmadness, written mostly from the perspective of her character, John, on what would happen if they were a couple:
And it progressed. Skye Tam called it a "working relationship," and would sometimes refer to him as a "client"; she gave John permission to call her his contracted Companion, but other terms did not seem to fit...

And it progressed. They saw each other less as business partners as Skye's clientele increased, and he understood-- a woman has to make her living, after all, and he knew Skye enjoyed her work-- but what made it easier was the continued pleasure of sharing their company. When they sat down together in a bundle of leathers and feathers and interplanetarily-traded silks and brocades, discussing their worlds and their lives, or even arguing about a comment one of them had made or an opinion one of them disagreed with, it was probably even more pleasant than lovemaking.

Skye didn't correct him when he called her "friend."
f. No real clue. She's got an open post up now but what happens after that I'm not sure.
