I find that since I've been heavily into burlesque for the past few years (only a passing fan before that) I've adopted some habits that spawned from my stage persona. I say things like "toots" and "dollface" and "cupcake". I even move and swagger a bit more like my characters have over time.

Have you picked up any personality traits from your characters?

I do refer to "my dear girl" with far more frequency than once I did, but as a whole their has been relatively little cross over. I have always been known as something of a "character".

Well, I really only say "dollface" to Ruby because it just fits. I don't know why. I just started with these words one day and it stuck. Ah well.... at least I got style hahaha.
