I'm not sure how useful this'll be for Perscitia, but something that really helped Lien settle into camp was getting her involved in long-running projects that I can mostly handwave. She'll never be super active because she's hard for me to play and she hates everything, but reorganizing her headspace by coming up with things for her to do that she finds interesting and marginally useful (learning and teaching languages, constructing and now landscaping the dragon onsen) has helped me get her out more and feel more relaxed about her when I don't have the energy. Having a few steady relationships doesn't hurt that, either.

You know I'm pretty sure you play Lien as much as I play my active characters >_>
But yes, I definitely see what you mean - I don't actually mind the fact that Perscitia is unhappy in camp, so much, because I have fun having her complain about things, but I feel a lot worse that she's not really doing anything; by now she should have a minion militia and be designing and building her own awesome pavilion! And learning things! Which would happen fairly easily if she had the opportunity, I think, it's just that she's only had like... five threads with non-cast in the past six months. I really need to do her post! I just keep not having the time/energy/opportunity for it. But if nothing else, I definitely can't drop her before I do that because I plan on having a lot of fun teaching math really unhelpfully.
haha, my playing speed is VARIABLE so I kind of measure my characters getting out by how active they are relative to my other characters. I've played Toothless almost as much as I've played Lien total since apping him at the end of March when I apped her in November, so...
:/ I'd be super sad if you ended up dropping her because I really do think you have the voice bang on. BUT I WILL LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR MATH POST REGARDLESS.
Well, you've played both of them more than I've played Soul, who I've had for a year now. AND HE STILL GETS OUT MORE THAN PERSCITIA ;;
I-It's not that I don't want to play her! I just feel guilty that I barely do it. Maybe I will drop other people and be able to play her more. But I like my other people too! I just really need to do a cut to minimize guilt and maximize fun. But it's so hard to decideeee
DON'T FEEL BAD, SERIOUSLY. I know how that goes. In fact I think I tagged that during my "I don't feel like playing anyone" stage and so might've easily dropped it myself. /o\ AS MUCH AS I LOVE THEM I don't expect you to do everything all the time, we can do things when we feel like it and not before, etc etc.
I have still been... not incredibly excited about any of my characters' threads but Raven's, though.
... ha ha haaaaa, I have been there. FWIW, it is hard to get excited about some backburners if you feel like you're overloaded with characters. Go with who has the most potential to do things, maybe? That was vague, uh. I mean, if you have ideas and plans that could ultimately lead to some awesome CR, I'd say stick with them and let them flourish! Or whatever.
Planning helps a lot, too. I got out of my rut by making definitive plans and goals and whatnot with characters (ie "I want to get to this point with him! That could happen!") and people have been super helpful. ... Although there have been times when I've made super awesome plans and then gone "I don't feel like doing that!" and then that's usually a sign.
And, like. I do have lots of things I want to do and should be doing with Medusa! She still has a lot of potential. And I want to do these things! But then it comes to actually doing them and half the time I derp out. And I have things I want to do with Perscitia, just most of the time I don't do them in favor of other things. And I have things I want to do with Soul except most of them require a) cast or b) actual CR. ...I don't really have anything specific I want to do with Kaylee but she's new and cheerful and outgoing and a character people know so it's easier to just throw her out and have things happen, I think.
So I don't know! :|a It would be easier, I think, if I didn't love Soul Eater so ridiculously. /ramble
