Yue

[lavanya_six]

Currently writing a fic starring (a living) Yue for someone. I'm having a devil of a time trying to write her. She's just so... boring. There's only so much milage you can get out of the dutiful, self-sacrificing martyr. 

Anyone have any advice for writing Yue? How do you view her personality?

Interesting point about her father. Hadn't thought of their relationship that way.

So...

+Disney princess
+Lonely at the top
+Dutiful
+Girly
+Normal enough underneath
+Moon Zombie

I dunno. It feels a little thin to pin a leading role on, which is what I need from her.

Maybe I could shift the fic to an outsider's perspective? But how to do that and maintain the required pairing...

Yeeeah...I suppose that's the huge problem with Yue. She's likable enough, but she really doesn't have much dimension and is forever destined to be a secondary character.

Maybe you could tweak something a bit. I dunno, damn. There has to be more there...maybe something with her mother?
