lady villains that're only villainous because they're in ~love~ with the dude mc/want his attention

idm it when the mc is actually interesting (see beatrice & battler) but when he's got a grand sum of two personality traits + is obviously a self-insert it's actually kinda...zzzz. give a woman motivations that don't spiral around some boring dude pls!

not a fan of the "because you were nice to me 🥺" type of romance either...

Breathe. Everything in her suggests nothing but I will burn this to the ground if I must.

...i'm not the best @ characterization either op, but! for me,

it helps to keep their motives and allegiances in mind. e.g. if you're writing a good guy that wants to banish ~ evil forces ~, then have them stick to that...no matter what happens. from there, you can reflect on their behavior as you write; maybe figure out how they want to achieve these goals ( do the ends justify the means in their head? are they conflict avoidant? are they a liar? etc. )

i also try to keep their basic traits in mind...so like if my spitfire, wrathful, selfish character does end up -- idk -- helping someone in a thread, i can have them do so in a way that matches with their vibe. maybe they fuck up the task on purpose. maybe they grumble all the way through it. idk. don't be afraid to let things go wrong icly

also! i think a thread between two introverts/anti-social characters could work if you force them into interacting...very extreme example here, but what if the place they're coexisting in happens to get robbed? what if a kid walks up and wants them both to guide 'em back to their parents or whatever.
