Ugh, I don't even -know- anymore. At I thought of something that -looks- young but really isn't, but then I realised it was bland and cliché. Next idea was too much like Byakuya, an arrogant, silent sort of person, so that was scrapped. Idea number three was a laid-back lieutenant, but that made me think of Shunsui, and the fourth was more of a Rangiku.All in all, I'm back at square 1. And I don't even have a -name- for her yet!: If there was a way to avoid describing personalities, I'd take that in an -instant-. It's not something I can predefine in a written context; I have to actually roleplay it out until I gain a good concept on my character and adhere to it.

Try not to worry about cannon characters. Just focus on what you want. Cannons are long dead anyways, and sometimes similarities to them are good. ^^
