Describe your character; How do you see your character in your own eyes and not based off the bio. How have you developed this character into your own?

Fred is a lovable goofball. When I found Walt in the beginning, I saw that he was on the list of upcoming characters and I messaged the main to find out when he was going to be released. I ended up applying for Fawn and then picking him up as my second character. I didn’t get to play him a heck of a long time before I ended up having to leave the group but when I came back again I had full intentions of reapplying. His muse had vanished. So I fell in love with Shaggy... and Vitani... and Eeyore... but eventually Fred found his way back to me and I’m happy with that.

He’s the type of character I always fall for. I mean, he’s got the dimwittedness, he’s got the long hair, he’s got the comedic side, the hero complex. He’s such a good, loyal friend. He’s got it all. One thing I really like about Fred is how himself he is. There is nothing in this world that could make him change. People don’t get under his skin. He grew up with cash just lying around but it never made him act better than anyone else. If anything it only kept him from being lonely when his parents weren’t around because he had Heathcliff and his ginormous collection of comic books and plush Japanese monsters. He’ll walk out of his house in jeans, a worn down tee and a beanie. It would be impossible to look at him and think “yeah, that guy’s a millionaire” because he just doesn’t dress like one, talk like one or act like one.

Fred is a dumb nerd and I find that so endearing. He’s not a genius but he sure does adore the geniuses. How he worked his way into his friend group is beyond me but he’s so lucky to have them. I’m emotional over every bit of Big Hero 6, including my sweet Fredrick.

What’s your favorite thing about your character? What’s your least favorite?

My favorite thing about Fred is his positivity. He’s a breath of fresh air to write for. When Tadashi crosses his mind it’s painful, but he’s usually so happy that I don’t have to feel too much to do his replies.

My least favorite thing is his persistence. He doesn’t realize when people don’t like him and he’s not invited. He butts into conversations and he keeps on and on. Even if someone blatantly asks him to shut up, he’s going to start rambling about something else. Like, he talks so much that it annoys me sometimes. And it’s hardly ever about anything important.

What are some of your favorite relationships your character has formed?

Fred hasn’t formed many relationships but that’s on me for being iffy with activity. He’d consider Lightning a friend. He enjoys talking to Meg. He thinks Dustin is cool. Seriously, hit me up if you want connections with Fred because he’s a social guy and he’s lacking.

Has your character changed you in any way? Or do you yourself in yourself in your character?

Fred hasn’t changed me. I do have “Fred moments” from time to time, where all common sense and intelligence just goes out the window. But don’t we all?

Do you think your character has had a big impact on Walt? Is it a good impact or bad?

Nope.

Favorite thing your character has done and worst.

My favorite thing Fred’s ever done is reunite with Honey because they’re cute and I love them. The worst thing he’s ever done is probably break something of value that he hid so his parents wouldn’t find out. Who knows. It’s Fred.

What is some progress you hope to have with your character in the future?

I’d like to dig deeper into his feelings about losing Tadashi. I do mention it in his interactions once in awhile but I’ve never let him sit on it. Fred is in pretty deep denial for one thing. I think it’ll take awhile for him to accept the fact that Tadashi isn’t going to pop up out of thin air and be like, “joke’s on you, I’m still alive” and they’ll all have a happy grand reunion. There is a large part of him that genuinely believes that’s a possibility. He’s never lost anyone close to him before and he doesn’t know how to cope with it. In the comic books he reads and the superhero movies he watches, death isn’t so permanent. Fred also sees it as his job to be the strong one for his friends. He has to make sure Hiro is okay, he has to make sure Honey is smiling enough, he has to make sure Baymax is staying positive, he has to make sure GoGo isn’t bottling everything up, he has to make sure Wasabi is dealing with it in ways that he knows he isn’t. When they’re down and out, he is the one that is supposed to swoop in and cheer them up. He’s supposed to crack a joke and make them laugh. It’s his duty as their friend.

He’s so focused on making sure that they heal, he doesn’t have room to heal himself.

When we get a GoGo and Wasabi -- yes, when, not if -- I think that will really push Fred to look at things for the way they are. Having the friend group back together, it’ll be painfully noticeable that Tadashi isn’t a part of it anymore. The one thing I want from him during the amount of time I play him is for him to accept that someone he loves is gone, they aren’t coming back, and he needs to keep moving forward. He’s never going to stop missing him. But I need him to accept it. And I need him to shake off this survivor guilt that he feels deep down. In Fred’s mind (and this is something I will bring up at some point as it progresses, maybe, if I ever get around to doing anything productive) it should have been him. Tadashi was smart, he was friendly, he was funny, he was inventive, everyone loved him. He had a family that cared about him. He was the center of BH6. He had a bright future. He could have saved the world one day. He had so much to offer. Fred would take his place in a heartbeat... but I’d like for him to stop thinking that he should.

What is one thing you would tell your character?

You are allowed to hurt too.

What has been YOUR favorite thing about walt?

The never ending pain.

Has your experience been a positive one?

Yes.

3gen was awesome, though I couldn’t be around as much as I wanted.

Favorite character that’s not your own and why.

— Megara freaking O’hara is the love of my LIFE.

— Obviously I’ve gotta talk about Honey. I fricken love Honey Lemon. She’s Fred’s favorite person. She puts up with him and while the rest of his friends do too, I feel like she’s much more smiley about it. Every time she thinks about Tadashi I feel another piece of me shatter because I hurt for that poor girl. She’s so smart and so wonderful and so beautiful and it’s like, wow, how can one character be so much?? Isn’t that illegal??

— Also, hiya Dustin. He’s a cutie and he’s such a brave lil dude and that’s all I have to say about that.

— This is such a random place to put this but Taige. I remember reading her bio a long time ago and just adoring her. Then like a blessing Emzy swooped in and brought her to life and she has not disappointed. I love seeing Kiersey’s beautiful face on the dash and it’s even better backed up with Taige’s personality and Emzy’s writing. It’s the best combination. Ever. Period.

— I’m not actually sure why I didn’t include some ramblings about Tink’s amazing-ness in Fawn’s post, but Tink is amazing. I love the way that Bri potrays her, it’s like the perfect mix of original Peter Pan Tinkerbell and Pixie Hollow Tinkerbell and her friendship with those girls is everything to me. I just want sweet Tiffani to be happy one of these days. Is that too much to ask for?

Ideas, shoutouts, request, dedications, questions? Put ‘em here!

I want to get this posted so I’ll tack some dedications I’ve yet to do on Vitani, Pascal and Mater’s task posts whenever I actually get them out so this one’s to the entirety of this group. Keep being awesome.

Note

not to be fake deep but let's talk about all your old walt babies that you haven't mentioned (because i love the hainline's okay and you and all your kids and i miss you

Send me an old muse and I’ll gush about them.

oKAY SIT DOWN AND BUCKLE UP, KIDDOS.

(I love you, too, sweet pea. *smooch*)

Frank Hainline

So Frank is a prick, to start off, but he’s my prick and you’re not allowed to trash talk him without my say so (which of course you have because he’s A PRICK). He was the kind of kid who wore an anarchy symbol on his jacket but never actually did anything to represent or invoke anarchy. He’s also a gigantic slut and can’t keep his pants zipped for longer than ten minutes. Fidelity is not this man’s middle name (*CoUgH* illegitimate child he never knew about). He definitely wasn’t ready to become a father when Victoria got pregnant (and more or less trapped him into marriage), but by the time baby Penelope came, he devoted every ounce of energy he could to making sure she had a good life, and the two of them actually grew very close. He passed away from cancer when Penelope was about ten.

Norma Hainline

Penelope’s eldest. The two most important things you need to know about Norma are that she’s a dancer and she’s gay as a maypole. Her main focuses are tap and ballet. She loves old Hollywood - she got her start watching Singin’ in the Rain and Fred & Ginger films - but definitely prefers to live in the here and now where she can express herself both as an artist and as a lesbian. The dance world, much as she loves it, is a crusty old institution that needs to break some pointless rules and get over itself. She is also Grade A Mom Friend Extraordinaire™. Her love language is definitely acts of service, particularly making sure you’re eating and sleeping well and taking your medicine on time (though turns out she’s a terrible patient herself). Much to her frustration, her two closet friends - Noah and Nick - are both more or less bent on self destruction and driving her completely bonkers, but she loves them just the same.

Francis Hainline

Francis, the third eldest, has no business being in this family with how shy he is, but nevertheless. Definitely the black sheep of the family, but his siblings defend and support him with everything they have. (Well, Kath usually does it with a lot of sarcasm, but you can tell she loves him.) He’s a total hipster and has a special love for anything that was built before the year 2000. His prize possession is an old camcorder that uses real VHS tapes, so naturally he becomes a film student. I envision him growing up and working as a cinematographer and eventual director of poignant indie films and documentaries - stuff with lots of lingering, fly-on-the-wall shots. Also, special shoutout to Seraphina, the love of his got dang life. Those two gave me so many freaking cavities with their cuteness.

Kathleen Hainline

So Kath is a mess, but that’s just par for the course in this family, I suppose. She’s the baby of the family and has always felt like she’s living in her sister Norma’s shadow. She’s a bit of a wild child, but certainly not to the extent Victoria was. It’s all just a cry for attention, trust me. She wants to feel needed, she wants to feel wanted, she wants to feel special. And anything that takes the attention of the people she loves off of her needs to die, plain and simple. She’s best friends with Daisy and is technically endgame with Jonas (though we really didn’t get to write them that far), so here goes a prayer candle for my lovely Becca.

Dory Novak

As you can probably guess by the name, Dory is based on that delightful blue tang we know and love. In the Walt universe, she developed her short term memory loss after an accident that killed her parents, and was adopted by Marlin. She loves swimming and her family and especially anything combining the two. She’s a freaking sweetheart who is actually pretty hard on herself, and it was so heartbreaking to play her in any kind of stressful situation because five minutes later she would still be freaked out by have no idea as to why (looking at you, Scream event). Also, Scooby liked her a lot and I felt so freaking blessed??? She ends up becoming a social worker and helping kids in the foster system like her.

Charlie Harper & Jenny Harper née Parkington

I never got to properly play Dory’s parents, but here’s the fast and skinny on them. Jenny was a shy bookworm who never thought boys would be interested in her and (for the most part) had made peace with that theory. Charlie was a jock who was head over heels for Jenny but never knew how to communicate it without being a sleaze. Eventually, he manages to ask her out, she says yes, and they pretty much become attached at the hip. She comes to his basketball games and swim meets decked out in the school colors and cheering like a maniac. My guess is Dory came a little earlier than they were expecting, but not so early that it would be considered scandalous - probably when they were almost finished with college or something. Dory became their world and they spoiled that little girl beyond belief. Unfortunately, both of them were killed in a car wreck when Dory was very little.

Marlene Novak

Dory’s first kid, adopted. To sum it up nicely, Marlene’s a hot mess because she was never able to come to terms with the fact that her birth mother didn’t want her. I tried to start this whole plot where she ran into her birth mother just out in the wild and that made her get even messier, but I think I was just throwing crap on the fire to see what blew up at that point. She also has a…flirtatious arrangement, shall we say, with her friend Viv.

Lyle Novak

Dory’s second kid, also adopted. *sigh* Lyle, Lyle, Lyle… He’s a cutie, don’t get me wrong, but I feel like I didn’t give his character enough punch? He just seems kind of blah now that I look back at him. I have a history of being super self conscious about my male characters if they don’t have like a Super Archetype personality for some freaking reason, and Lyle is definitely an example of that. He’s a little shy, but not so shy that it’s endearing, and he’s also a little courageous, but not so courageous that he actually gets crap done. He’s a little complacent, looking back on him, which is kind of the opposite of how I wanted to play him...? I dunno. Maybe I’m being too harsh on myself. HE’S CUTE. LIFE GOES ON.

Cinderella Tremaine

To the surprise of absolutely no one, I’ve actually played a Cinderella counterpart in a few different groups, but let’s just talk about how I portrayed her at Walt. French transfer student in America (I changed her to straight up American after a point) who loves animals arguably more than life itself and tries her best not to cry over things she can’t control. She’s also daydreamy as FRICK. Loves to get lost in her own imagination. If she’s not engaged in conversation or work of some kind, I can guarantee you her conscience isn’t even on this plane. Also, can I just shriek about the superhero AU version of her where she was a counterpart to Zatanna and literally became her own fairy godmother? Because I think about that far more than is probably healthy.

Emmett Tremaine & Johanna Tremaine née Cartier

Same thing as Dory’s parents, just gonna give you a quick lowdown. Johanna came from a fairly well off family in France (distantly related to those guys, but far enough away that it doesn’t really count), but her parents thought she was an absolute embarrassment. She was never afraid to speak her mind when it came to things like etiquette and politics, and she had a fabulously wild imagination. She never stopped believing in fairies, ghosts, gremlins, things like that. Emmett was that quiet nerd dreamer type, very much obsessed with travel and history. And like I need to spell it out for you, but they were LUDICROUSLY in love with each other. Like, nauseatingly so.

Robby Tremaine

Robby is Cindy’s son I whipped up real quick one next gen when I was going crazy and wanted to snatch Nick Robinson’s beautiful face. He’s a hardcore farm boy who doesn’t mind a little mud behind his ears and super environmentally conscious. Not just recycling and veganism and all that, but he will go off on you about sustainable farming and animal raising, and how the hydrogen fuel cell is the way of the future.

Taige Bailey

Based on Terk from Tarzan, Taige is a super jock, total butch lesbian, and altogether DUMBNUT. Like, GOD she’s so stupid sometimes because she just barrels into crap with reckless abandon and doesn’t think things through. Dear God, she will PUNCH you if you so much as look at her funny, just ‘cause she feels bored. And she walks around like she’s God’s gift to creation, but she’s just a little twerp. But she’s my twerp. (Huh. I’m just now realizing how similar Taige and Pen are. In a weird way, Taige is like the tomboy version of Pen.) Here, you can imagine me lighting a prayer candle because I never got to play her against her two best friends and I’m SAD. Y’ALL NEVER GOT TO EXPERIENCE THE TOUR DE FORCE THAT IS T CUBED. Also *cough* she and Vitani may have had a *coUGH* flirtationship.

I would also put Taige’s parents on this list, but they’re so hardly even developed that it’s not really worth mentioning them. I only know their names: Lamarr and April.

Jared Bailey

Taige’s only child, Jared’s still trying to figure out what masculinity means to him, what with being raised by two women and all. He can get a little “dudebro alpha male” sometimes, but he’s also that kid you definitely want to have your back when things get rough. He’ll help you with your homework, teach you how to shoot a three-pointer, and walk you home when it’s dark like the gentleman he is.
