I keep meaning to post NQS's application, but I look at the personality and just... falter.  It looks so incomplete compared to most of the stuff I've written, and trying to rewrite it tends to make it more jumbled.  I keep forgetting that she's still USAGI TSUKINO, and focus more on the bits & pieces we get about her from the manga.

She's still bright, and loving, just with an added flair of maturity.  She's made more sacrifices to be queen than most people think, as did her friends and soldiers.  There's still immaturity left in her.  And and and.  Oh.  I wish I could just describe her in a few sentences and leave it at that.

Not to mention, I'm worried about how people will view her.  Most people that play her, play her as fairly serious, and I'm, well, not going to go that route.  Cosmos, I can see as being serious and sickeningly sweet, but Neo-Queen?  No.  At least, not to me.  Oh god, I'm going to do something wrong.

Also.  Contemplating dropping Alice from Luceti.  I love playing her, but I'm starting to think it's just not the right place.  BUT I LOVE PLAYING HER.  DILEMMA!  DILEEEMMMAAAAA!  Maybe I need to find another place to play her, but Luna's Alllaaannn is so good. /waffles everywhere, with lots of butter

We've talked about NQS before, so you know I think you're spot on. You are not doing it wrong! Seriously, be confident; everyone will love you and her.

IMMA GONNA TRY! It just takes me awhile to get in the groove of characters!

[catchingspirit.livejournal.com]

You can do it!

[xelijahbabe07x.livejournal.com]

Oh I'm sure she's great! I really need to get my RP on again. I'm failing so hard at so much right now. Seriously, you should just trust your creativity & have at it. =)

[saturate.livejournal.com]

yeah you should~ and i know, i know! ♥

[cryptgirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's tough to play normal people, as it's been said over and over.

Right now you have Alice and Ellis...the similar pronunciation of their names amuses me. Isn't it strange?

[saturate.livejournal.com]

I can't quite figure out why. Maybe it's because they aren't 'special'.

I... never noticed that! Oh gosh. It kind of is!

[cryptgirl.livejournal.com]

Well, I wouldn't phrase it as not being "special," but there's a lot less for them to do in Luceti. They can't train or spar with their buddies. They can go on the drafts, but what is there to do? Everything the noncombatants do has to be handwaved, right?

Dude, I have every confidence that you'll play NQS perfectly and I can't wait to interact with her again. And I totally do not ship her and Yuan, noooo

The thing is, you don't see much of NQS in the anime. I don't really remember the manga, but I doubt she's in there much either. Usagi may have grown up, but... Well, she's still Usagi. There's some traits you just can't get rid of.

[saturate.livejournal.com]

YAY! uh, yeah, me neither. totally not.

I think she's in it more in the manga, since that's what I've been reading, but yeah. I agree. She's older, but still distinctly Usagi. And more mamaish.

[daathic.livejournal.com]

I'm looking forward to seeing her around Luceti. So, so much. Especially since she's ... Usagi. And it's kinda embarrassing how much I've missed seeing her around. XD;

I don't know much about characterization, but I have no doubt that you can balance her maturity and her Usagi-ish ... ness. :| The only thing I remember about her was something about still having horrible spelling at her age...? So yes. There's always that.
