CB: guns have triggers…I'd never have guessed *facepalm*
Now that we have come this far, we must let you into the deep dark secret. Even the most perfect (and seamless) character can feel sad sometimes. In fact, you may find that your (seamless) character will seem more sympathetic if she gets unbelievably upset. She can do this when following occasions and situations arrive;
~Your character misinterprets an old tattoo or fairth for their crush/boyfriend cheating on them. (Obviously it then turns out that that is either not true and, for example, an evil plan of another adorer to catch your (seamless) character's attention or it happened a long time ago)
~The crush "dies"
~The crush must be "killed" by your (seamless) character (or else)
Hissy fits involve crying tears of blood, slitting wrists, the yelling of your (seamless) character at her boyfriend/friends, and other variations thereof.
Examples, how to:
Raven smiled lovingly at Murtagh, peering curiously around his room in expectant joy. She discovered a corner of grey stone behind a curtain with her sharp eyesight. Crossing the room and pulling it from its hiding place, Raven gasped, dropping the detailed picture of Nasuada.
"MURTAGH HOW COULD YOU!" she cried cleverly, hiding her face behind her obsidian coloured hair to hide her tears of blood.
"No…Raven! You, don't understand!" Murtagh whimpered.
Raven shook her head, leaving the room dramatically "no! I don't want to hear it!"
Two days later, Raven was kneeling beside Murtagh's lifeless corpse sobbing cutely. Her straight ebony hair fell before her, hiding her hands which covered her face as she cried heartbrokenly. A few limpid silver tears splashed onto the battleground, washing away the blood that had fallen.
A warm hand touched her shoulder. "Come on, Raven," Eragon said softly. "You can't help him." Raven nodded sadly turned away just in time not to see Murtagh's eyelids flutter just slightly.
Examples, how not to:
Magpie shook her head in frustration. So now that horrible wretch Raven was trying to steal her lovely Eri-Werri from her too! This would NOT go unnoticed! She started sprinting over towards the man of her dreams. Suddenly a small black dragon hologram appeared from nowhere screaming with a booming voice that hurt her head "Kill Eragon, or Galbatorix will kill you, your family and everyone else too! Except Raven and Eragon" then it vanished.
Magpie blinked. "huh? What? What the fluck are you talking about?" she blinked again. "oh…oh no!" Magpie threw herself on the ground, tears filled with snot and vomit streaming down her face. "how could it be!" she stretched her arms into the air. "WHY?" she dribbled miserably.
CB: this. Is. So. Ridiculous. It's. Not. Even. Funny.
jAm: *bang*
CB: OW! *clutches arm* you shot me!
jAm: s-sorry…I was just SO APPALLED at the…disgusting excuses for EXAMPLES we just had to WRITE! :(
CB: *pale* you…you can die from blood loss can't you? *tries to get up* AGH…how come I'M the one who always has to half-die!
jAm: THAT'S what you care about?
CB: erm…good point…get me to a hospital please *faint*
jAm: I CAN'T! I forgot my phone and I can't drive! I CAN'T EVEN STEAL A MOTORBIKE!
CB: *wakes up* THEN CARRY ME!
Top Tip: Hissy fits are the ONLY time your (seamless) character is allowed to lose her calm and collected self. (You may want to write this bit down again kids!)
The reactions;
If you take option one, in which your (seamless) character has found out that their lover, was "cheating" on them, the easiest way out is to get the boyfriend to beg for her to return to him. (Possibly naked…)
If you take option two, the easiest way out is something along the lines of;
Murtagh's eyes opened and he stood up silently and touched Raven's shoulder. "Raven," he said softly. She turned around, pink-cheeked and with silver tears still glistening in her wide, green, violet-and-gold-flecked eyes. Lovelier than ever. Then, a gentle smile spread across her face, lighting up her features, and the smile was for Murtagh alone.
"You're alive," she said, then threw her arms around him. "I love you."
If you take option three, it is easy to write it off as an empty threat, after all, you don't want the attention shifting too much towards the possible victim.
Other character's Hissy fits
This is a very useful tool in situations such as battle scenes, arguments and tense moments in which your (seamless) character must choose between two adorers. It can also be used to make the villain or rival can be made to look foolish and immature.
