I think I get the most pleasure out of writing absolutely horrible people than I do writing about nice people. Don’t get me wrong, I also love including ingenue types in my work as well. All of my female characters, save the female villains, are modelled on that antiquated Victorian archetype, all of them inspired by Virginia Otis from Oscar Wilde’s The Canterville Ghost.

However, it is much more fun to write about horrible people and the horrible stuff they get up to. This will be more apparent in the character of Ragnar as the comic concerning him goes on, where it will become notable that (spoiler: his vicious and cruel nature was always there, he just didn’t realise it until it was too late).
