this may devolve into just... ranting about vampires
i big wanna know how you developed birdie's voice/reactions to given situations
HONESTLY i'm still flying by the seat of my pants a little with birdie but would you believe me if i said it was mostly music and a weird amalgam of musician/artist characters?
a lot comes from the music on her playlist but also just, the idea of The Entertainer as a kind of archetype with a bunch of weird vampire shit draped on top and a sprinkle of 60's counter culture
also just. a lot of phil ochs.
also you know what's really helpful?
it's personality type stuff and honestly v v v helpful with character work???
it's obviously not exact, bc a full character is a lot more nuanced than that and all that will come from the history and whatever else you want to do with them but it's a good foundation
