Um.

I get to know them by writing about them. There's a post somewhere back in my archives (I can't find it right now, and it's late and I need to go to bed) where I put up the first, second, and third drafts of Mildmay's first meeting with Ginevra. And it's perfectly plain that I didn't know him at all the first time.

I revise a lot.
