I love all of my babies too, but at the moment my favorite is Sayoko Miyamura. She's a Japanese nurse-slash-impromptu-medium in an alternate 1950s setting, and I'm pretty sure the reason I love her as much as I do is that she's such a change from the type of protagonist I usually write. It's really freeing to test out someone who's optimistic and compassionate and determined to make things better when you've been stuck on the deadpan snarkers-with-secret-soft-sides for so long. (That said, I do love my snarky lady detective Annabel Crane. She's basically a Raymond Chandler-style PI in a retro World of Darkness, so it's fun to throw her into a weird situation and watch her :|-face at everyone involved.)
Have you ever written a character you disliked? Not one you disliked writing necessarily, but one that you would walk up to and punch if you ever met them in real life?
