EVALUATE MY BATTLING!

Sup guys, time for the How's My Driving meme at Route! Remember: play nice and keep it civil.

TRAINER TIPS:
→ This is encouraged, not mandatory. We will not penalize you for not using it.
→ Feel free to link your personal HMDs if you would like, just in case someone doesn't want to use the mass HMD post.
→ this is more for actual critique and discussion. Please don't just blindly praise a person or just call them horrible. If someone's doing a wonderful job, you can tell them, just tell them why, or even where they're showing off bonus perks. If someone's doing a not-so-wonderful job, tell them why, give them things to improve on if you can. Examples, links, things that can give them something to work on. Meaning, no bashing, flaming, or nasty behavior. Please keep it civil.
→ Anonymous is turned on! But note: anonymous is a privilege, not a right. If it's being abused to bash players, please be sure to let one of us know and we'll step in or freeze threads if necessary. If anonymous is abused too much, it will be turned off for the next HMD.
→ Don't take this all too personally! Remember that roleplay is a game, and crit is supposed to help, not make you feel horrible. No one is perfect, we've all got room to improve. Please keep that in mind.

Bb ilu so hard. I really think you have Vanille down, as far as body language and everything else goes.

There's just a couple things I noticed, that you might want to be careful with. For example (http://notjustsunshine.livejournal.com/2171.html?thread=97403#t97403)-- that can come off as a bit god-moddish. I let it slide because it's really not a big deal to me, and I think there's good reason to believe Vanille could come up to the same conclusion as well, but generally, commenting ICly on a character's thoughts (commenting in action brackets is a-ok as far as I know) just seems kind of strange.

And you know, I want to say that Vanille's at least fairly charismatic, at least when she's happy. At the beginning of our joint journal, the way she opened up seemed... awkward, to me. ^^; Though that was your first joint journal so I think some of your own nervousness was rubbing off, which is completely okay! Just keep it in mind for the future.

As far as Vanille's personality goes, I haven't seen anything wrong besides that little mishap. So all you just need is a little work on your rp technique, and you'll be golden!

: D Thank you! I'll keep a watch on it! <o I appreciate your critique-it's very helpful! Ha ha and it might've been my nervousness, yeah. Playing in a DR is much different from playing at Route but thanks for being patient with me, I'll do my best to be a good Vanille for your awesome Fang.
