slightly off topic, but do you still have that weird scully ficlet you wrote for me? i tried to retrieve it from [past lj account], but duh me, all that's gone away somewhere :P
I just switched names, I didn't delete anything. Here it is:

"Mulder?" Langly asked.
She rolled her eyes. Had to be Mulder, then.
"Of course we’ll help."
"I don’t know where I am, where it’s going. You won’t tell him, will you?" They exchanged discrete glances, secretly flattered that she’d singled them out for relationship advice. Finally.
"You get to a certain level and it just seems futile." Frohike noted the lock of hair she pushed out of frustrated eyes, Byers the shadowed valley below, and all three wondered why Mulder hadn’t made his move. Her husky voice dropped even lower and they leaned forward.

a. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her
The first things was his absence in the musicals/movies. That piqued my interest in a purely, "hey that's not fair!" way. And then it grew.
b. One of his/her best traits
His sense of fairness, divorced from blind law-following.
c. One of his/her worst traits
Toss up between his arrogance in appointing himself anyone's conscience, and his tendency to negate self in favor of his quest.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character
Not too difficult, but I do have to constantly think about writing from the perspective of another culture; even if I don't really consider the Persian's Persia to be much related to the real one.
e. The story/chapter/paragraph/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character
I think this snippit, which I never finished nor found a place for, was a good start. My favorite Persian is somewhat sad and misplaced

"Help me beat Doom," she breathed.
