I don't think I would remember the details of the development if it wasn't for the drawings; and I don't keep track of characters' evolutions as a rule :-). The important thing is the finished character. But I thought it might be fun to see where she came from. Also, Brynhild is the character that gave me most trouble. The others didn't go through quite so many phases. Usually I have my OCs ready in my mind and let them pop into my Snape-centered stories when necessary. That way they mature, and eventually they may get a story of their own, like (the late) Stephen Snape in Mirror Mirror. He had been referred to in Prodigal Son and Darkness and Light, and these tiny tidbits of characterisation through the eyes of others (Severus and Septimia respectively) helped determine his personality.
OCs are such fun, aren't they? :-) I think they are rewarding to write.
