25. Did you create any characters (in games, art, or writing) this year? Describe one.

I don’t think I created anyone, but I definitely spent a lot of time bolstering the characters that I initially created a few years ago for my potential novel. I’ll describe one of them.

Riley Andrea Roberts is a white pansexual atheist whose main role amongst the other characters is the Encourager. She’s really excellent at working with small handguns that don’t have much of a kick, since she has excellent hand-eye coordination but very little upper body strength and not-so-great balance (she’s a bit clumsy). She’s 5′7″ and super skinny but not bony - the kind of skinny you get from a fast metabolism, not the kind of skinny you get from starving. She’s got light brown hair that’s grown out from a pixie cut into a haphazard bob, and she’s got a single tattoo of a bouquet of yellow and blue daisies on her right calf, which she got in honor of her grandmother. Her favorite time of year is spring, and she loves the smell of citrus, popcorn, and coffee
