Types of laughs your characters have.

You can tell a lot about a character by how they laugh in certain situations. Do they have more than one type? Do they laugh a lot or a little or in-between, or not at all? I want to hear how you prefer to write your characters when they're in humorous situations. For example, my protagonist Alexa has a couple of different kinds of laughs. In a light-hearted situation, she'll simply **howl** with laughter, loud and raucous. However, when she's feeling particularly mischievous (which is often), her laugh becomes soft and sinister, the kind that'll make your skin crawl. She'll purposefully draw this one out for maximum creepiness. If she happens to be playing a villain in a play she's doing, she'll start her evil laugh like the previous one and then it'll get louder more diabolical. This is my first thread, so bear with me here.

I have lots of pairings in my in-progress fanfic, and they all have a type of shy laughter when interacting around their soulmates.

That's pretty cool. My character Sam has than when around his wife Alexa.

I like to base how my characters laugh on how I laugh in different situations. If I'm feeling mischievious I giggle in a sinister manner. If something is just a quick laugh I do a quiet little chuckle. If something is gut-bustingly hysterical I laugh out loud and I sound like the joker.
