2:36 PM - OC Development, Sakoi Etsu

Don't expect to see this in any of my stories. I hate doing personality charts on OCs and then making them public, but its a good way to keep track of my work. So I'll keep it limited to here and if any of my readers happens to see it, sorry! =( I'll do a chart of another OC I have that turned totally Mary Sue for the Bleach fandom another day)

Sakoi, Etsu

Nationality : Japanese

Birthdate : August 18, 1994 (since the story is set on present day)

Zodiac Sign: Leo (believe it or not, that sign IS compatible with Gemini, so seeing so many writers making their OCs into Libras has made a lot of OC fics boring), She also has Scorpio as her 'Rising Sign', which influences her looks and some traits of her cold outward personality.

Age : Currently 16 (since it isn't August in the story timeline at least).

Height: 5 foot 3

Weight : 103 pounds (tiny little thing)

Hair : Originally blue/black

Eyes : originally Violet

Complecion : very pale

Flaws : dramatic flair, prideful, cold, belittling others, stubborness, contemptful (hateful), bossyness, hot tempered, likes having a large audience when making a point (and she's not particularly shy in doing it)= some unadmirable traits of a Leo and yes, I do use astrology to shape an OC. It really works to create good characters!

Good Qualities : good at acting (definite Leo quality), honest when it benefits her for either good or bad purposes, takes responsibility for her actions if she has no other choice, increadibly loyal to those rare individuals she grows to care about (even to the point of self-sacrifice).

Likes : Beautiful surroundings (explains why she has a thing against Ouran's 'unharmonious architecture'), constant movement, children, things that show promises of being entertaining (either good or 'evil')

Dislikes : physical pain (gets overly cranky if in pain), the conceitedness of others (even if she's somewhat snooty herself), being laughed at, being taught by others (since it proves that she doesn't know everything like she thinks she does), being lied to, being bored, hates being ignored (even when she ignores others. She can be a bit of hipocrite), and annoying people that don't share the same interests as her (pretty much everyone)

What Scorpio Rising Brings to her overall personality: Can be intense with a lot of presence. There is something about her that tells the world that she's not to be pushed around. Her attitude commands respect, and in some cases, fear. Either quiet or loud, she always seems powerful and determined. 

  She rarely goes through life unnoticed. In fact, she's confused when faced with the fact that she gets such strong reactions from others. She can seem to look right through people, seeing through superficiality. This can be quite intimidating to some, and intriguing to others. She always reads 'between the lines'.

Values her privacy so much, that it borders on paranoia. She has a strong need to control her environment and is an expert at strategy. She plans out her moves carefully and deliberately.

Believe it or not, I DO this with cannon characters as well to see if I can write them better than the superficial depictions other writers seem to love giving them. And if anyone finds that making astrology charts for OCs is weird, let me tell you that I used to work a lot with astrology for REAL people (and studied bits of psychology too). This is basically normal for me and it helps to understand characters better for writing purposes. ;-)
