Oh, OK.
I chose Scar/Scarlet as my sig fig for a few reasons. She was the second
castle character I ever created (not EVER, but after I reentered castle), and
the first one to be in depth, with personality, objectives, history etc. Not
only that, but she evolved and changed, and I really like her. She is nothing
like me but I like her a lot. She's definitely my favorite character, and
although she is in no way the most important person in my realm (from the
minifigs' point of view :-) she is quite influential and my storyline will
often be told from her POV (albiet in third person).
There isn't just one thing that made me call her my sig fig... there were a
lot of things.

Cool! Sounds like you have good reasons! The important thing is that you like
him, IMO...
BTW, being a landscaper here's a question. Do you enjoy building lego
landscapes or do you feel it's too linked to your "real" job to be fun...?
As an architect wannabe (1) I'm wondering if being a professional architect
won't make me hate lego... :-)

Interesting! And you're welcome!
I also often have reasons behind my namings. For example, my character Kfir is
hebrew for lion... I'm actually rethinking that name, because Kfir himself is
NOT connected at all to the lion kingdom. Other names, I just choose because I
like.... Siffera for example is a name I found in "Nightfall", a great book by
Asimov and Silverberg.

(1) take that literally: I want to be an architect. When I grow up, that is.
