We all know the drill. Bassara is studying her brainz out and needs to ramble about something, anything.
In my offtaskedness and recent DRRR!! obsession,[DRRR+FFVI+PARASHI= havoc for teh schoolwerks. @_________@] Bassara came across this line, on a blog...uh... by a random blogger
. Proper citation fail. My english profs would be displeased:
"The characters are who they are long before we meet them and only if we’re lucky (or not so lucky depending) will we get to see what made them into who they are."I came to the sudden realization that I rather like characters like this. "Like whut, Bassara? That sentence is out of context." Basically, I'm perfectly fine with never finding out every detail on a character's past, provided said character is strongly represented in 'present time'.
I mean, I certainly love backstories as much as the next person, but I guess, for me...there's a certain charm and depth to characters that can stand on their own and keep us all interested, without needing to go for a huge whole arc defining exactly how they became the person they are 'today'.
Am I the only one who thinks this? [Yes. Yes you are.]
Guess I'm a sucker for subtle hinting, where my imagination goes nuts filling in the blanks myself.
Lol.
