So what are the things that make your character imperfect?
Omg I quote that line all the time when it comes to RP. XD
I think I am rather unique in that I focus on my char's weaknesses instead of her strengths. To me, the joy of RP comes from struggling with what they are bad at, not flaunting what they are good at. So far, my character has overcome;
-A fear of magic
-A sense of isolationism/stunted emotional maturity
She is still struggling with th latter one, but has made strides. She also struggles with self-doubt, and an overly-critical attitude towards herself.
