I know I'm going somewhat overboard in the descriptions and its deliberate.
I try to paint her as the stunning
femme fatale, though it might simply be coming across more like she's sex-on-legs
Though really, the true reason I have a tendency to repeat my character's description at the start of a new thread is because of how much time generally occurs between them -- often several months -- so new readers who haven't bothered reading older threads
( or the characters article ) might not know any particular details about the characters appearance, while older readers might have forgotten things. So, I repeat the details for the same reason authors tend to repeat a description of past events and their characters at the start of a new novel in the series -- they don't always assume everyone knows everything or remembers everything. If I was GM'ing, I'd probably put in a small recap at the start of the thread as well -- but that's just me and I have a tendency to go overboard description-wise in anything I do
Admittedly for those participating in the thread, particularly those with good memories, this may seem excessive and annoying so I apologize.
After an initial description, I from that point on tend to refer to the character simply as Reika, the cerulean-haired neko, or the amethyst-eyed neko or by some other singular feature without going into superfluous detail unless I think it scene appropriate -- or I'm really, really bored and feel like writing a flowery description.
As for my 'attraction' to Reika; she's a figment of my imagination so Kotori has a problem there
. I can have my way with her anytime I want :3
But honestly, her appearance is
supposed to match what I perceive as the ideal that most men would generally be attracted too -- though I admit individual tastes differ and some might not find Reika fits for them. In fact, some aspects of her appearance I like, but some don't match my own ideal -- if I was creating a character for myself solely on the basis of what I personally find most attractive, she'd be red-haired, green eyed, taller than a neko could be -- close to my own 6'5" height -- and a lot of other features would have to be adjusted as well. Personality-wise she'd be different, too. :3
Of course, I couldn't say I wouldn't be happy if any woman looking like her deigned to give me the time of day in real-life
