6. If you were to pick one song — and only one song — to describe your character, what would it be and why?
“Running Home to You” by Benj Pasek & Justin Paul. This might be cheating, but Barry sings this to Iris during the musical episode and it just suits him so fully, It can be applied to everyone special in his life. He always will come running home to those he loves, no matter what happens.
7. How does your character perceive themselves? Positive? Negative? Neutral?
Positive all the way. Barry is filled to the brim with optimism, even if it’s blind optimism.
8. Are they a quick thinker or do they need time to sort through their thoughts?
Oof. Barry thinks with his heart 95% of the time, doing whatever he can to save those he loves over himself. The other 5% of the time, he thinks with his entire being, thinking through all the possibilities to choose the best outcome for everyone.
9. Does your character dream or are their nights filled with an empty blackness? Describe a dream they’ve had or a night they couldn’t sleep and what they did to preoccupy their time.
Barry lucid dreams more than anything else. Like, he doesn’t make the effort to, but his brain is still very active when he’s sleeping. When he visited Earth-38 and met Superman while he and Oliver had switched lives in the Elseworlds crossover, he had a very intense lucid dream where he both had the power of flight, speed, and the skill of using a bow and arrow. Using these three powers & skills, he had to save the planet on his own.
