Sunstruck: Word Clouds

Sunstruck has two viewpoint characters, so I thought it’d be fun to word cloud both of them (using the services at Wordle). Click to see bigger versions.

Ari

Ari is a Bigfoot, who previously worked in a bar and really likes cats. She speaks Bigfoot English, which is based on a number of real English dialects (but isn’t a direct match for any of them). Common features are using ain’t, tending to use got/get rather than have/had and refusing to capitalise Bigfoot. This does show in her word cloud. The liking of cats does not, so apparently she needs more kittens.

Ben

Ben is Spokane (Native American), two-spirit, has OCPD and trained as a chemist. It’s interesting looking at Ben’s, as a notable difference is family. Ben has Grandpa, Mom and Tal, who are all his relatives (and don’t appear in Ari’s at all). He also mentions time more often, as he’s focused on tracking time (and keeping things tidy, but that doesn’t result in many repeated words).

Random Observation

I would have thought Ari talked about chocolate more often, but apparently not as much as Ben talks about coffee.
