a. I'm don't remember when I started liking Narcissa so much, although I suppose HBP was a big mark. I really liked her in the Spinner's End chapter. Her fierceness, her ability to manipulate Snape just right where she wanted him, her love for her family, the complexity of her relationship with her sister...
I also like what we see of her couple with Lucius. That despite being the blonde, beautiful socialite woman at his arms she was definitly a powerful woman of her own (unlike what many fen assumed x_x), making important decision about their son. In a strange way, they appear as the best, most healthy couple out of the HP world >_>;;
b. Like most Black she's passionnate about her loves and hatred, both ruthless and brave about what she cares about. Unlike most Blacks, she managed not to get caught up into more than she could handle. I think in a way she was the most Slytherin of all the Black kids, because of that. She kept her independance the most while protecting those she cares about. She's not an idealist, she's a pragmatist. As I see her, she's also a perfectionnist, very at ease with formalities and society.
c. She's definitly snobbish and arrogant. She's very unlikely to care for anyone she's not tied to, as such she can be selfish. Ideals appeal very little to them, especially not after the first war.
d. Strangely easy most of the time. Witness that Path to hell was the Heavenly Bodies story soonest written. There's another story which went easily 3000 words in in a matter of days before stalling. Of course, it's still stallen, so...
e. The drabble Mirror, which is one of the first HP thing I wrote
f. I still owe to finish that Percy/Narcissa story I was mentionning before. I don't have any big plan for Narcissa otherwise, although she's always a cool character to use in stories in general.
