I hope I don't sound mean, but doesn't Evangeline seem a little too . . . perfect? I mean, she's respectful, loyal, friendly, kind, generous, "tall but not too tall", and is very responsible. Just making an observation, I'm not trying to criticize Saumya as a person.

Oh, I totally understand what you mean. Evangeline I think is a little perfect but I wanted to try someone like that. But she is an introvert and really shy. She does not like to socialise. And her love life is bad. I hope that is better... If you want, I can totally create another character though...

No, I'm absolutely not trying to boss you around, Saumya, I just noticed that she seemed a bit more perfect than the average person. Okay, now I see what you had in mind.

No, I understand what you mean and don't worry, we're cool ;)
(BTW, I like your character :))

Oh, thanks.
