Great post! My sister gets bossy when she worries – if she can’t be there or she thinks there might be danger again she bosses. It is her over-protective streak coming out 😉

This is so great, Becca. I know quite a few bossies and they all fit your descriptions. Thank you for this.

Very nice, well done Becca. I love that once you two are done with this series, we’ll be able to look through different character traits to combine several of them into a single character, which is what people are really like.

I loved Hermione! I think I secretly like bossy characters though.

Love this! The best part about this is that I’m NOT bossy… and I know for sure now, ’cause of this definition. Thanks for that!

Great post. As an addition may be the following is interesting for the community here:

I have a bossy antagonist in my conspiracy thriller The Money Pit. I have made him knowledgeable and a true leader. He is irritating, impatient all that. But, and I have come across people like that, he is charming when only one other person is in the room, yet 'the boss' when more than one people are around. Then he doesn't accept criticism, is belittling, etc.

Thanks for this. I can see a cliche in my own wip. I’ll definitely look into changing some character traits.
