Could you post ten 'secret' tips or guidelines on how to write Sakura well? She is a difficult character to write well, and I respect your portrayal a lot. Any pointers you could give me and anyone who reads this?
@uchihacollectorā
;;Ā UH. Hmm. Let me give it a shot. Iām going to try and break down how I see her and how I developed her, so I think this is going to be more of a guideline to how I write her.
Note: I get salty. I get really salty. So take this all with a grain of salt. :D Also,Ā āyouā is in general, notĀ āyouā as in you, Lady. Or anyone in particular. Just the generalĀ āyouā that likes to ruin my favorite girl.
1. Pay attention to her canon development.
The Sasuke-worship ended after the chuunin exams. The vanity and concern to her appearance ended after the chuunin exams. Inner Sakura merged fully withĀ āOuterā Sakura because she slowly gained confidence to be herself.
To expand on this ā in Classic Naruto, sheās closest to being herself when she interacts with Naruto and Ino, notĀ when she interacts with Sasuke. So when she interacts with Sasuke post-Shippuden, her actions should closer resemble how her 16-year-old self treated Naruto than how her 12-year-old self treated Sasuke. You cannot have her revert back to her pre-chuunin exams self and claim youāre following canon, because youāre not.Ā
2. This means she has a temper.Ā
Sakuraās temper is so freaking present throughout the entire series. Itās only as she grows in confidence and becomes herself that she lets herself be free to show it. She grows to control it, adapt it, fuel it, use it for good, and let it fly.Ā
Writing her angry was one of the easiest ways for me to figure out who she is. sheās brutally honest with herself when sheās angry. Finding out how she responds when angry and when sheās flying in a rage helped me establish her foundation. I totally recommend everyone else to do the same.
