[Yo Where You Been?]

You want to write a story using her character, but have never played the game in which she is a character?

First of all, how do you know you want to use her character, if you've never seen her character?

Second, that's plagiarism and is unimaginative.

Pretty much.

I wanted to write a Final Fantasy story. How would it be plagiarism and unimaginative? If someone writes a story using Final Fantasy characters, don't they usually keep them in-character?
