L to R: Namie Amuro, Olivia Lufkin, Ai Otsuka
So, I got this idea for a character, and I've got an empty 'slot' for one, but I'm not sure if I want to make her or suggest her for someone else. Basically, I saw this avatar of a beautiful Asian girl recently, who I have not been able to identify, but her beauty inspired me with a plot. xD So, I set to looking up Asian models and singers and whatnot, and I've narrowed the potential face down to three different girls, but I'm having a hard time choosing which one would work. Anywhooo...
The basic plotline is the girl (Let's call her Hinata b/c, yes, I'm lame and my husband watches Naruto, so that's the first name that popped into my head, so sue me) is one of those online brides. You know the stories, a guy goes online and 'buys' himself an Asian wife, and the girl gets US citizenship and whatnot, and the poor lonely sap who bought her gets some companionship and maybe something more. ANYWAY... Hinata is bought by some guy (for some reason I'm picturing him as being Russian, don't ask me why), and she moves to the US. That's the background of how she would get to Sapphire Bay, and after that, she could either fall in love with the guy who bought her or she could end up falling in love with some other guy and possibly being deported b/c that would be epic-drama and I love that crap.
As far as who the FC should be, it's a toss up among the 3 up at the top of this thread. I love how very 'Asian' Namie and Ai look (Olivia Lufkin is only half-Japanese b/c her dad is American), but Olivia is downright gorgeous, so it's so stinkin' hard to choose.
And my second dilemma is I'm on this kick recently where I want long, drawn-out, drama-filled character plots and not just a character who meets his/her final and then BAM their life is over. Ya know what I mean? So if I did make "Hinata", it wouldn't just be a wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am type deal. Whoever made her 'final' would have to be willing to accept some up's and downs. muwhaha
Anywhoo... any plot ideas? Or character development suggestions? I'd love to hear any and all ideas!
