Oh wow so many! I'm gonna split them up into multiple posts I think so it's less of a slog!

Eydis:

What was the first element of your OC that you remember considering (name, appearance, backstory, etc.)? 

For her it would have been backstory, I believe, because:

2. Did you design them with any other characters/OCs from their universe in mind? 

I knew the campaign was going to involve real-world places (but a fictional and ahistorical version of our world) and sister-in-law suggested that some or all of us be Vikings from the same family. So she was always intended to be related to her character, and my husband's (they were all cousins.)

14. If you had to narrow it down to 2 things that you MUST keep in mind while working with your OC, what would those things be? 

She will pretty much always take whatever option means less talking to people, especially groups/public speaking.

She's insecure about herself.
