There ya go...I know that sometimes I used two words but the situation didn't always lend itself to just a single word...I mean Veronica has a huge inferiority complex..It colors all of her actions towards the others..yet, that doesn't fit into one owrd..Inferior doesn't equal inferioirty complex..they're two different things.

I just have to take a time out here and say I'm enjoying these 3 word descriptions. More than once I've stopped and said to myself: "A much better word (than mine)." Some of you have hit a charatcer spot on. Congradts!

What I find interesting is how in many cases, many of us use the same or similar words to describe a character..Look at Roxton...How many of us used words like "Sad", "Troubled" or haunted to describe him? Marguerite is the same way..Words like crafty, duplicitous, deep , mysterious, pretty much mean the same thing. Challenger is often described as "Egoticentric "or something similar. Summerlee frequnetly has some word that translates readily into "Kind" used to describe him.

I wonder if that is a feature of us all reading the prior posts and being influenced by what we are reading or just have the same reaction to the way the character is portrayed?

I think that everyone is going for an "obvious" characteristic with at least 1 of the 3 words.

Summerlee is kind, Roxton is troubled, Challenger is egocentric, and Marguerite is mysterious/crafty/etc. So, it's more of a "this is the character is portrayed" kind of thing.
