Honestly, I agree with pretty much everything you said here, and really, the only thing that I can say is that I know that I've been doing it wrong for the entire time I've played her. As much as I hate to say it, I just wanted to have fun with a cast that was having fun (even if they were doing it wrong) and decided to ignore a right interpretation of canon to do that. I understand that this probably sounds like a cop-out, and I'm really not trying to shift the blam off of me, because honestly when I joined I knew I was doing it wrong. As lame as it sounds, I really just wanted to have fun, and was more than willing to sacrifice IC-ness to do so, because I wanted to be a part of a cast, and didn't want to disrupt their interpretation of canon.
As for personality, I didn't get a translation of her bio section until about two months ago, and was basing her personality around the few canon images I had access too, history, and admittedly a bit of APH Russia. I know that all the players that I have been in contact with from this canon have been looking for someone who is willing to translate the larger part of canon that we don't have translations, but so far as I know, there's been nothing done except scans and some translations of a few of the bios posted on plurk. If you have or know of any more translations that are out there, or someone who has the skills and willingness to translate, I would love to know.
I am planning on apping her elsewhere in the future, and (even before this crit, but you did confirm my thoughts) planning on staying true to canon.
I'm sorry if this sounds terse or combative, I don't have access to a computer and am replying from my phone. I don't want to sound like I'm trying to get out of this either, since I understand (and agree with) your crit. I just honestly can't fix it.
