I have a lot of favorite songs, but I never really use them as inspiration for creating a character. But I will admit to having, for the first time ever, using part of the lyrics from a song that was stuck in my head while I was desperately trying to come up for a good history/story for Nitika when I was applying for her at the Pound of Hope. XD I
never do that, but I made an exception because I figured:
Maybe if I write it down in her form everything will flow from there. And it did. XD I used the latest song by Rascal Flatts, "Come Wake Me Up." It was the first time I'd used a song to drive my creativity when applying for a character or something. XD
My other current favs are "We Are Never Ever, Ever, Ever Getting Back Together" by Taylor Swift, "Blown Away" by Carrie Underwood, and "It's Always A Good Time" by Owl City and...uhh...I totally forgot who else does that song. XD
@ki-neko ~ I want a high five. We both listed the same song by Carrie Underwood.

I'm kinda considering adopting an Orthus from PoH, but I haven't come up with anything great to write yet. XD
