  1. Kyo is such a beautifully developed character. I love this profile about Kyo. I can definitely see how all of the attributes that you gave him definitely influenced his needs and desires and certainly influenced the subtext scene. Nicely done!
    20/20

    Why didn't you post your Journal #7, subtext scene? I remember how wonderful it was in class...I had hoped that you would have edited it and put it up here!
