Name a character from your story who would rather do things than think or would rather think than do.
My Turn:
Aeris, my sweet crazy Aeris is a Thornwood Princess and DEFINITELY has mother and grandmother’s blood. Thornwood Princesses prefer to do things than to think. Though Stephanie (Aeris’s grandmother) is a mixture of both at times. Cosmina (Aeris’s aunt) and Lisselotte (Aeris’s little cousin) are very much the same, doers than thinkers.
Aeris is action with little to no thought at times. Sadly, that gets her in serious trouble, though she does have her father’s blood who prefers to think things through unlike his late wife. Aeris does think a bit on things, but man is she still a doer and goes for the gusto. That is the curse of most Thornwood Princesses.
To be said, Thornwood Princes are just doers and thinkers…sometimes.
What about you guys? Do you have any characters who acts over thinks or thinks over acts maybe both?
Yup, I have one of each. Callistus, the crown prince, is a thinker. Treymor, the mc and the prince’s eventual lover, is a doer. Because he’s a doer and not a thinker, he’s just discovered that he impregnated a maid at a hotel in Greece when he went on vacation several chapters back and he now has a toddler son. It never occurred to him that he needed to use a condom. (♯^.^ღ)
Likewise, he’s telling his whole story in flashbacks to a friar while he awaits execution for supposedly murdering an earl. He didn’t do it, but acted without thinking in order to protect the true killer. So now he’s sitting in a dungeon awaiting the guillotine. Fun! (>‿◠)
In my universe? They’ve been around for a couple thousand years, and were originally made out of sheep’s intestines or some such thing, which I think is also the reality in real life if I’m not mistaken. Although in my book they’re called lambskin sheaths. (*＾-‘) 乃
Dov is both though he is more of a doer than a thinker. Dov is wise and highly intuitive, but he is also trained to act on snap-decisions. Krista also forces Dov to do more than think, or otherwise keep him pleasantly distracted, if only to ensure Dov doesn’t have the time to doubt his decisions (especially his decision to stay in Israel with Freyja and Krista). One of the few exceptions being Dov’s reading habit, and Krista’s (and their housemates’) insistence that he never reads enough…well, he never reads to Freyja enough…There’s a reason why the villa’s second largest room is a library.
Those who don’t read tend to make poor soldiers ~ Gunslinger Girl, season one.
Krista is similar to Dov. Krista is highly educated, multi-lingual, a self-taught symphony violinist, and she knows more about the school subjects than her teachers. However, Krista prefers to act or speak on instinct, or scheme for ways to force Dov to do likewise, because sometimes thinking is the last thing she (or Dov) should or wants to do.
Freyja is a thinker (mostly). Freyja loves reading, studying art, learning more about her companions, and sharing new experiences with them. Freyja tends to avoid actions when there is any theoretical uncertainty, in regards to the safety of herself and her companions. However, once educated, Freyja’s cybernetic brain allows her to analyse situations, chose the best option, and act with a speed that would convince most strangers Freyja is acting on instinct. One of the few times Freyja does act on instinct is when she detects a threat to her companions, in-particular Dov. Then her body’s primal subconscious takes over, and some fool loses a limb.
Oristina is a doer while Alcoy is a thinker and was happily married to each other. She is the wild reckless princess while he was a noble calm bodyguard.
Alma is definitely the type to think things through before doing anything. He almost lets his anxiety about doing the wrong thing keep him from doing anything at all, but that’s where his thinking comes through and saves him. He’s very smart, so usually he can come up with a solution before he acts.
Brook-Lynn is far more of a doer than a thinker. She is smart too, but she tends to react to things before thinking them through. She just gets things done and then if they fall apart, that’s when she goes to the drawing board and starts coming up with alternate solutions.
In regards to my older stories, Jorildyn was a mixture of doer and thinker, while Isilynor was more of a doer than thinker. Anjan was a thinker surely.
Kierra is the doer while her sister is the thinker.
Tends to stem from being in positions where she has to act before she can think, but even when she is given the chance to do so, she just doesn’t. She’s of the mind that doing so would just over-complicate it.
