my answer is also from Ladykiller in a Bind but it's absolutely not along the lines you'd think it was. I had the Beast be the sort of girl who calls people "baby" and "babe" all the time because I wanted to convey that while she's attractive, she's also really corny and uncool, she's just so self-confident it doesn't matter that she's uncool. you know, like with the rock'n roll and leather jackets, she's a throwback. EXCEPT THEN I GOT INCREDIBLY USED TO SAYING THOSE WORDS BECAUSE OF ALL THE DIALOGUE I WAS WRITING FOR HER AND IT TURNS OUT IT REALLY IS JUST FUN TO CASUALLY CALL PEOPLE "BABY" AND NOW I DO IT ALL THE TIME. FAR BIGGER SELF-OWN ON MY PART THAN ANYTHING THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS IN THAT GAME
