Actually, I think brooding characters are pretty popular still. It's kind of why I made my current character a 'speak as soon as you think it' type. It's so much easier for her to interact with others since she just loves to talk until she's told to shut up.
Which is a strength and a weakness. She doesn't think things through, so gets herself in trouble. She'll tell you exactly what she thinks of you, which obviously can be a little too much honesty.
And she tries so hard to please that she can be overbearing, and drive people crazy. She's also extremely naive.
A lot of her personality came from heavy interaction with naturally quiet, or naturally brooding types. I wanted to create a character who would be able to elicit responses from those types, whether it be good or bad. Because two brooding characters in a room often just.... brood together. It's almost like they need the opposite to start drawing them out >_> Just my opinion.
