how do part with a beloved character for the greater good?
I've never had this problem, really. I tend to wait until I don't connect with them to part |D When in doubt, if money's the issue, you can always design some stuff for the express purpose of selling .3.
Speaking of which, the following characters/designs are up for auction. I'm not picky whatsoever, so just send whatever you think they're worth. Bids for both of them at once is fine, too~
