[quote=@KahleenCuthald] And she seems to have tons of good traits and seemingly no negative ones. If your character has so many skills / positive traits, you need to add negative ones to even it out. [/quote] My bad, she wasn't meant to seem Mary Sue. I actually really hate perfect characrers, and I never meant for Aideen to look like that. She has several big flaws. I honestly meant for them to be obvious, but I understand if I need to explain. [hr] For one, she's stubborn and obsessive. I mentioned that her father said she was "stubborn as a tree," and she actually managed to take it as a compliment. This is also shown through her wand's "rigid" flexibility. That's a trait that's going to bite her in the ass, like, [b]all the time.[/b] She's also vengeful. I mentioned that she is "moody as fire" and that she has a "streak of hate." There's even a [b]huge[/b] weakness with her wand: a Hawthorn wand, as said in the Pottermore quote, "can, when badly handled, backfire." PLUS Dragoncore wands are prone to "accident." Her wand is both likely to backfire and likely to fail. It's a deathtrap. With such a shitty wand, her anger and her stubborness are a poor combination. I can imagine her messing up spells all the time, arguing with authority figures, taking fights too far, and holding grudges across years. If you really think I need to put more emphasis on those, of course I will, but I stand by what I said: I do believe her flaws are already pretty self-apparent. [hr] As for having too many skills, the only skill I gave her was that she knows a lot about wandcrafting. And... that's it. I said she's [i][b]interested[/b][/i] in healing people and caring for magical beasts, but nowhere did I say that means she's GOOD at it. Those aren't skills, just interest. She won't necessarily have any talent for them. She only has a skill for memorizing shit about wands. :lol [hr] I'll update the history or "worth to mention" section with a short explanation on her family's move. [hr] I don't want this to be a big argument, so I can make her problems a little more clear if you want, but please do consider what I said about her emotional problems and her [i]deathtrap[/i] wand. She was never intended to be flawless ;)
