I tend to think and classify, so I don't know if it's better, but it comes from my bed to explain myself.

I'm glad the thought process made sense. Finding good similarities is item the secret for me to making everything else work, but I also tend to be more of a "character reacts to their setting" writer than a "setting shapes their character" writer, so it's a little easier for me to transplant characters around when needed.

(Yes, please, descriptive tagging.)
