I have thought about this topic myself from time to time.

For example, another of Storm archetypes is the way-too-wise-beyond-their-years children in a lot of her books. Examples would be those kids in the third book of Magravandias and Lileem in Wraiths, as well as other harlings, but there are numerous other examples. The fact that Storm doesn't particularly care for children no doubt affects how she writes them, almost like maybe she wishes that's how they really were, or that's the kind of children interesting to her.

In my own writing I know I have a couple of characters who pop up over and over: 1) the artist/musician/creative person who's somehow isolated and suffering, 2) some character who's suffering from some physical or mental disability, injury, or mistreatment, and 3) maternal figures who actually aren't women. Weird but true.
