If you haven't guessed yet, I have a pathelogical fear of stuffed animals. Specifically the eyes. If I'm alone in a room and there's a toy, stuffed animal, or even magazine with eyes on the cover, I get the jitters. I discovered this when I was little and I got this giant poster of sinister looking alien head staring forward. When I'm around other people, I thought it was cool. But, when I was alone, that thing me very paranoid.
So I've sorta projected my own weird paranoid into my character, Suzie, in the most bizarre and twisted way possible.
