is there a return policy for visuals?

It just occured to me -- as I peruse the last installment in the T/Q series -- that part of the difficulty in writing Trowa's experiences is because somewhere along the lines, my mental version of Trowa has become inextricably tangled with the one person I've met in real life who is, undoubtedly, a Trowa through-and-through. He's easy-going, though has his own set of internal principles and will only budge after great effort, can be amazingly coarse in one situation and quite gentlemanly in others, more likely to smile and nod during a conversation -- until you get him talking and then he bloody well won't shut up, has a lovely deep voice, and, I should mention, is 6'3".

Which is all amusing, and fodder for characterization-basis, except... he's my sister's boyfriend.

And, frankly, the contemplation of mixing sex-related thoughts and anything to do with my little sister -- okay, even one-step-removed! -- is just... ewww.

So she's not like, say, Quatre's twin sister personality-wise? Ah, well, it would be amusing if she were. XD

If she were, I might actually be able to get along with her a little better.

Well.

Okay, trying to be objective, she is a great deal like Quatre, in some ways -- the canon version, not the fanon "let's all have tea!" version. The Quatre that's just a little imperious, hospitable to most but actually friends with few and confidant to even fewer, sometimes unable to comprehend how others can't see what's so plain to him, fiercely independent and strong-willed, self-contained like a cat but then abruptly attached to someone for reasons that never make sense to me (and it's never me, that's for sure).

[But then, Dorothy is Quatre's dark side, in a sense.]

Then again, if you go by this kind of categorization, as a Heero-mind myself, it probably makes sense that I'd end up competing more with someone like a Quatre-mind, than actually getting along in some low-key way.
