My goal has been to write in a style that befits each character, and to test my success I used posts from two different blogs.

Then I tried that story I wrote with Mirri Sunspear receiving the sigil that she now wears on her belt and…

Cave.  It was because they were all in a cave, I guess.

Next, I took a small story I wrote with Grifter as a cub and Shani finding him in Gendarren Fields.  And I got the same result as a Star Trek-Guild Wars story I wrote with Admiral Starseeker seeking two of her scientists to help treat the Pale Tree.  I got the same result for both which was…

“During the Bowie knife period, a high percentage of knives were made in Europe — predominately in England, with a smaller number from the continent. Of the English knives, by far the majority were made in Sheffield, with a number from Birmingham and London. One of the leading cutlers of Sheffield, George Wostenholm, came to the United States on sales calls as early as the 1830s; his famous I*XL trademark is found on many fine Bowies from the 1830s through the turn of the century. The styles varied with the changes in manufacturing techniques and with the whim of the merchant stocking the knives (all the knives were hand-forged, hand-ground, and polished, fitted, and finished by hand.) Since the knives were made to order, in lots as small as three dozen (and a few one-of-a-kind pieces), there are many variations.”

So when I explain WHY they said/did what they said/did, I am NOT excusing the behaviour or the belief/traits/what have you which contributed to the behaviour. I am trying to offer a little insight into who the character is, where they come from, and why they behave as they do.
