It could be that the fan OC has a very strong connection to Lucy on an emotional level. They constantly dream about being like her. One day, they enter a virtual reality world that is based on Lucy's world. In this world, their avatar starts to take on Lucy's form because of their subconscious desires. As they spend more time in this virtual world, the transformation becomes more and more permanent, and when they finally exit the virtual world, they find that they have become Lucy in the real world as well, through some kind of magic that blurs the lines between the virtual and the real.
Their relationship could develop gradually through shared experiences. For instance, if they are on a quest together, facing challenges like difficult terrains or dangerous enemies. Each time they overcome an obstacle, they grow closer.
To develop the OC realistically in a Severus Snape rebirth fanfiction, consider their motivation. Why are they interested in Severus? Is it because they see his potential, or do they have their own agenda? Their skills should be developed over time. Don't make them all - powerful from the start. They could learn new spells and magical techniques from Severus or other characters. And their appearance should also reflect their personality. If they are a bit of a rebel, their clothing style or the way they carry themselves could show that. Their growth throughout the story is crucial, as they face challenges and learn from their mistakes, just like Severus does.
Show their growth as individuals as well. Maybe the OC is trying to overcome a fear, and Mirajane offers support. This mutual support system is a key part of a realistic relationship. Also, don't rush into the romantic part. Let their friendship develop first. They could share inside jokes, or have a special place in the guild where they always meet. This way, the relationship evolves organically. Another important aspect is conflict. They might have disagreements about how to handle a guild situation, but they work through it, which strengthens their bond.
To develop their relationship, start with small interactions. Have the OC offer to help Lucy with her celestial spirit summoning, like finding a rare ingredient for a spirit - summoning spell. Then, they could have some shared experiences, such as getting trapped in a cave during a mission. This forces them to rely on each other, talk, and get to know one another better. Another way is to give them common goals. For example, they both want to defeat a certain dark mage who has been causing trouble in the area. Working towards this goal together will bring them closer.
To develop the character realistically, start with his relationship with Stannis. Given Stannis's stern nature, the OC might be under a lot of pressure to be perfect. He could be constantly striving to meet his father's high standards, which could lead to insecurities. Also, consider his upbringing in the Baratheon household. He would be exposed to the politics and power plays from a young age, so he should be politically astute and aware of the importance of alliances.
The OC can be integrated through a common goal. For example, if the OC is a ranger from a different region but shares Aragorn's goal of protecting Middle - earth from Sauron. They can meet during a scouting mission and decide to combine their forces.
For a realistic relationship development, they could start as strangers. Maybe the OC is initially cold towards Percy because of their connection to Chaos. But as they are forced to work together on a task, like saving a group of demigods from a powerful curse, they begin to see each other's good sides. Percy's loyalty and the OC's unique powers complement each other. Communication is also key. They could have long talks during their travels, sharing their pasts, dreams, and fears. This gradual sharing and mutual understanding would build a solid relationship.
First, they could start as acquaintances. Maybe the OC saves Serena from a wild Pokemon attack, and this is the start of their connection. Then, they gradually spend more time together by traveling to different Pokemon gyms. As they share their dreams and experiences related to Pokemon, their relationship deepens. For example, if the OC has a dream of creating a Pokemon sanctuary, Serena can support and offer her own ideas.
First, they need to have shared experiences. For example, if the OC is a fisherman's daughter, they could bond over their love for the sea and its creatures. Second, communication is key. Poseidon might have to learn to understand the OC's mortal way of thinking and speaking. Third, there should be obstacles. Maybe other gods disapprove of their relationship, which makes them fight for each other and grow closer.
First, start with their initial meeting. It should be a bit rocky. Bankotsu is a tough character. So, the OC needs to have some sort of quality that intrigues him, like being fearless or having a unique power. Then, as they interact more, show small moments of connection. For example, the OC might share her food with Bankotsu when they are on a journey together, and he starts to see her kindness.
