The weekend is close! Beware!!!

Anyway, how about you tell us about any OCs or NPCs you’ve created for your own stories or for your pup’s?

Sunshine's canon does a probably-unintentional thing with a lot of the character's names, though it's not a hard rule. Normal humans (Charlie, Sadie, Billy, Kenny, Paulie, Henry, Emmy, Barry, Jesse) most often have names ending in -ee sounds. If they are special somehow, they most have single-syllable or odd names: Rae, Mel, Con, Pat, etc. So I continued that distinction with the NPCs I created, July and Terry, the widow and child of Sunshine's former apprentice Paulie, and all of Sunshine's friends from her teenage years, Nikki, Christy, Julie, etc.

I wrote an Ace Attorney fic with a tailor named Bea Spoke (A name I was pretty proud of). She made custom suits for both Phoenix and Edgeworth, and put matching buttons on both of them.

I'm addicted to NPCs, I think because personal interactions are part of the stories I like telling.

I've just been reminded of Craya, a Twi'Lek running a sort of Underground Railroad out of Imperial-era Tatooine.

Some of my other recent favourites include:

Lottie, who was named at random from a list I was looking at for work. (I didn't realise the person I named her after would end up a colleague.)
Anyway, she is a student witch at a certain school for witches and wizards - Slytherin, wanted to be seeker this year but lost out to Ezra. When he encourages her to work towards Beater they started hanging out more. Lottie is a "I want to be a popular girl" type who tries to get everyone she knows into the same things as her. Unfortunately her current special interest is porrly written romance novels, and her efforts to get her gay best friend (Ezra) into them resulted in hilarious misunderstandings with the poor Hufflepuff who was about to become Ezra's boyfriend (Spot).

Liling, which was a throwaway name for a servant in a high fantasy AU and is now Lady Omega's personal ladies' maid. Liling is sweet, personal, and loves her job because she has the opportunity to dress Omega up like her own personal doll. Omega will wear anything she's given so it works out well!

I've made up several NPCs for stories or psls that I tell, though the majority of them have been just names on a piece of proverbial paper. I took sliiiiiiightly more care in doing the 'staff' for the bar Ganymede owns in most of his iterations, and they actually have faces and a few attributes each.

I feel like I should make some NPCs for Ahsoka as exploring the time between the ending of the Clone Wars and the Ahsoka novel could be a lot of fun and maybe get me posting again?

As for OCs, I do have a gal that I am twitterpated with. She goes by Ketch and she is a bruiser type. As the muscle for the group she is tall and broad (imagine a 7' (214 cm) tall Rhea Ripley), and loves a good scrape. She also happens to have an angelic singing voice and would love nothing more than to perform on stage sometime. Too bad she doesn't fit the body type production companies and audiences demand.
