For me each one of the Elphabas from each story you've written has been the perfect one. I really like how they all keep certain aspects of their personality but at the same time it feels like a different character for each story, perhaps I'm not being entirely clear. My point is: I love SM Elphie, I love TLC Elphie, and I love Always Here Elphie (I laughed so hard when you drew them wearing one of Glinda's hats sayin "Your loftiness" I love your work, and I thank you for sharing it.
Aaa oh gosh, thank you!! :’)
My Elphie’s are def pretty different in each au, and I kind of do that intentionally because it’s like ... exploring the potential characterisations of Elphaba I guess? and also how their specific situation in that au would affect them of course. I think Elphaba is such a big character they’re hard to express or really capture in just one iteration. Kind of how the book is too tbh, Elphaba is almost like a different character in each section of the book, with unifying characteristics so she never feels too different. (Except by the end, but that was probably intentional.)
