He's my favorite character, lol. It was kind of second-nature as soon as I got into the series. THIS GUY IS AWESOME I HAVE TO WRITE HIM.
b. One of their best traits.
His determination. HE GETS KNOCKED DOWN, BUT HE GETS UP AGAIN~
c. One of their worst traits.
He can be ridiculously narrow-minded and stubborn, which is especially frustrating because he has the potential to be so intelligent otherwise. He's often blinded to some pretty obvious things.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write/draw the character.
Gokudera is definitely one of the easier characters I've written. For the most part, he's easy to anticipate, and I don't have much trouble getting into his head. It doesn't hurt that I love him so much either; it's always easier to write a character you love.
e. The moment where I feel that I truly captured the character.
I've kind of always liked the first section of Dieci Anni. The part about how much of a shounen retard he is, basically. XD
f. My plans to write/draw the character in the near future.
I've been working on a sequel/companion fic to The Test that explores Gokudera's own first kill. I'm about halfway done with it at the moment; it's fun and interesting to write but I can't quite shake the feeling that the further along I get, the worse the characterization is becoming. It needs a little work.
Also working on a 5YL! multi-chapter fic with him and Lambo, but that's been on and off for a while now. EVENTUALLY I'LL GET THERE.
And I get new Gokudera plot bunnies like every other week, so who knows what else. Just about the only thing I can say for sure is that I won't stop writing about him anytime in the near future.

...belatedly I realize that should have said third, not first. I have no idea why I typed that. Sigh. XD

I always knew that if I ever wrote Haru it would be as part of a 5986 fic. I'd been flirting with an interest in GokuHaru for a while, and these ideas kept popping into my head about how it might happen in canon. I knew it would have to be a slow, long-term thing, and I kept daydreaming these little scenes that might happen to push things along. I debated the idea of writing them as one-shots in my head, but never quite worked up the motivation. Then Mini-Bang was announced, and I thought to myself, why not put the series of one-shots together into a longer fic? The challenge would give me the extra motivation to actually finish it, which I might not otherwise get. So I decided to go for it. o/
b. One of their best traits.
Honestly, at this moment I am inclined to say "her adorableness." XD I love everything about her, really--her quirkiness and her stubbornness and her daydreamy/romantic nature--but after weeks of watching increasingly hilarious HaruHaru Dangerious Interview segments in the anime, her cuteness is honestly the first thing that comes to mind. SO CUTE omg.
c. One of their worst traits.
The fact that Amano has relegated her to the kitchen in the future arc. :/ I want the girls to get a chance to do something, damn it.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write/draw the character.
It depends a lot on what I'm writing. The setting, the level of seriousness, who she's currently interacting with, and so on. It's generally easier for me to write the lighter side of Haru than her more serious side, because we don't see the latter as often in canon and I feel like my footing there is a little less stable. But when I'm just writing Haru being Haru, the voice comes pretty easily.
e. The moment where I feel that I truly captured the character.
The bit in First Impressions where she comes to the Vongola base after Yamamoto gets injured, and argues with Gokudera over the stupidest thing in the world just because she's that worried and it's Gokudera and she needs to vent. Maybe it's because it was one of her more Gokudera-ish moments, but for whatever reason it was just very natural to write, and I thought it turned out well.
f. My plans to write/draw the character in the near future.
I'm sorry to say I don't have anything planned at the moment, but I hope some inspiration strikes before too long, because I do have fun with her.

a. What initially prompted me to write/draw them.
Second-favorite character! Like Gokudera, it was inevitable. And it doesn't hurt that he is amazingly fun to write.
b. One of their best traits.
He's so happy and enthusiastic about everything. I love characters with that "life's a game, so have fun!" philosophy. And it's not like he's completely oblivious--he knows when to get serious. But most of the time he's happy and cheerful and positive no matter what's going on, and I just think that's awesome.
c. One of their worst traits.
Lack of serious character development. Amano doesn't seem to devote as much time to him as she does to Tsuna and Gokudera, which is a shame because he has so much potential depth as a character, and I'd like to see more of it shown in canon as opposed to fanon. PAY ATTENTION TO HIM dammit.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write/draw the character.
Effortless. I have never in my entire life found a character whose voice comes as easily to me as Yamamoto's. It gets to the point where I really worry about his characterization sometimes because it's too effortless, so I figure something must be wrong. But I've never gotten any negative crit about him, so I dunno. MAYBE HE IS THAT EASY, who knows; it's Yamamoto. XDD
e. The moment where I feel that I truly captured the character.
Uhhhh, probably this fic? Like I said, as much fun as I have writing him, I tend to have doubts about his characterization most of the time. Especially when I'm writing about situations that haven't come up in canon--car chases, assassinations, etc. So I guess one reason I'm a little more confident with that fic is because it's just about him as he is in canon; just him being Yamamoto.
f. My plans to write/draw the character in the near future.
He has appearances in both of the fics I mentioned here. And he also occasionally gets little plot bunnies, so something else might pop up at any given time. I do have a blast writing him regardless of characterization worries, so I'll definitely be writing him more in the future.
no subject
c. But less canonical character development means less wasted plot bunnies! X_X The most potential canon we can most easily draw drama out of is his suicide and the death of his father...for now.
D. XD With fanfics that have Yamamoto in them I find the writer usually has it DOWN or...doesn't. But since he's such a "mah, mah" character and his only serious side comes on when he's fighting, I find him hard to write. X_X But I like your introspection of him, I thinks it's really IC.
E. SPEAKING OF IC. THAT FIC WAS SO AWWWWW~ ♥
no subject
Also, you bet it was one hell of a wall.
c. This is true! But I still really want to see more Yama development in canon. I have a feeling it'd give us even more fanfic fodder.
d. Heh, I guess so. Sometimes different characters just click with people, or don't. Though now I'm really curious to know which characters are generally the most easy or difficult for people to write. Sometimes it's hard to tell--like for example, I've always loved this fic of yours, and thought you did a fantastic job with Yamamoto's characterization, even though you said he was difficult. So I guess it's not always obvious. XD
e. Ahh what thank you. ♥ ♥

cough! Because Gokkun, Haru, and Yama, have been chosen, I think I'm going to choose Tsuna. 8D
no subject
Heh, actually, it was that I had written a Gokudera-centric fic and a Yamamoto-centric fic (well, it was kind of 8059 gen but leaning more toward Yama), and since Tsuna was my THIRD FAVORITE, I felt like I owed him one too. XD
b. One of their best traits.
His heart. That even though he's terrified of the world in general and hopelessly unsure of himself, he's still willing to fight for the people he loves. I've always loved Tsuna for being a "weak" character who's still a hero in spite of that. (In fact, I actually like normal Tsuna more than Dying Will Tsuna for that reason.)
c. One of their worst traits.
He's whiny and clumsy and insecure and wimpy and overreacts to everything, and... er, we could go on for a while.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write/draw the character.
He's actually one of the more difficult characters for me to write. I can write about him well enough, but when I actually try to write him, I tend to struggle a lot. The thing is, he's full of contradictions, and it's hard to figure out where No Good Tsuna ends and Tsuna the future leader of Vongola begins. He's got this quality that's really hard to pin down, and I feel like unless I can get that it's not even worth bothering. I guess he sorta intimidates me, lol. XD
e. The moment where I feel that I truly captured the character.
The last few paragraphs of this fic, about how he shies away from success and recognition. Tsuna's reluctance to accept that kind of role is one of his most defining traits as a character, I think. It's one of the things that makes him Tsuna.
f. My plans to write/draw the character in the near future.
I'm currently attempting to write 5YL!him in the fic I mentioned here, and there are also a couple of one-shots featuring him that I've started and then abandoned out of frustration. XD If I ever work out the kinks in writing him, I might finish one of those. Hopefully. o/
