There's a good reason for this: it's REALLY hard to reveal the things 

about

yourself that gives your character more depth.  It involves bringing 

things

to light that you'd rather forget, or rather not have people know.  

This is

often overcome by coming up with (possibly) false angst.  Bah.  Make 

it

real, people.  Your SI is YOU, he/she should have your regrets and 

neuroses.

Bring those in, and your character really comes to life.

Heh.. my own SI character (and it's not Sailor Mana, as I imagine the 
email address implies...), is actually a slightly degraded version of 
myself... she's even more nervous and worried than I am, plus she has 
actual asthma (as opposed to the fact that I just have breathing 
problems..), which is induced by physical and emotional stress and she 
faints if it gets too hot (as in, if the temperature of her environment 
is over 89 degrees) and oh, my, look at the big huge run-on sentence...
