Scrolling back through all my fics, there were a lot that my brain wanted to put, but then I kept remembering that they were actually disturbingly easy. Eg. writing 'Ask Me How' was horribly like pulling teeth, but it WASN'T because I find Dexter hard to inhabit; actually I find him easy. I find the Master easy. I find Kabuto easy. BASICALLY, I WRITE THE PEOPLE I FIND EASY.
So what I'm going to have to go with is Will Turner. Because that fic was not hard to write, but I never ever felt quite like I'd managed to pin the character down. I felt like I was taking refuge in nice prose because he kept slipping out of my headspace.
And I have the same problem with Naruto, actually. I've made my peace with Sasuke (after 'Anchored in Dust', we have declared a truce) and Sakura was always as easy as breathing, but I still fight to keep any kind of coherency in Naruto's POV voice. Which is why I haven't used it since 'The Listening Sky', except for the brief segment in 'Solfege'.
RP-wise, I find Kenneth the hardest to inhabit, but that's probably because I never played him enough to get to know him. Large parts of him are still a mystery to me.
