When I went to create this I first look at several points, from other Abused and neglected stories to my own past and even history books which is shown through F/n's character.
Other abused stories.
When it came to this part, I looked at several stories that had the an abused character, and noticed that quite a few are carbon copies of others. But some of the best in my perspective, are the ones that actually have a story that go off the beating path of the series. It hows that these characters aren't just walking love objects for everyone to love. These are people who walk their own path. I won't give any examples but I'm sure their are plenty out there, all you just have to do is look.
My past:
I have mention before how Shannon has played a huge part of my life, but she wasn't the only person. My mother is lets say... chaotic and loud, to say the least. Because of her, I know what it's like to lose those closest to you. No matter the degree, which can easily causes people to think that they can't get close. Otherwise the world can easily take them away, just as it has before. If not by one way, then by another way. As for my father, never met him.
I also used cartoons I use to watch to help me make F/n. Mainly the one and only, Samurai Jack. Who I will admit, would gladly fight wars to say this character was the greatest man in the world. Fiction or not. If not for his bravery to face the odds, then the fact he was able to adapt to the world around so quickly yet still able to show compassion for those around him. No matter who or what they were. Just as long as you don't work for Aku, are considered evil, or just a straight up jerk. I might be praising him to hard, but you got to admit he is pretty cool.
History books:
When it came to making F/n, I thought about Weiss. Considering she was suppose to his half sister, and how he wanted to b the opposite of her. And what's different then a pointed weapon, a curved one. So I looked up weapons that were different to A rapier. Like the Arabian sword, calvery sword, but eventually led to the weapon of the rising sun. But I also used the history books to find something that was opposite of a dignified noble, then who better then the disgraced warrior? If not for social status, then by perspective of the world. If I honestly wanted to give F/n a name back then, it would have to be Kuro yuki or black snow. If not to reference F/n's past then to show how Weiss and F/n are similar yet different.
But let me know what you think of this or don't it's your choice.Thanks for reading and I hope you stay safe especially in these times.
