User blog comment:Mmpratt99 deviantart/A Question About Accents--Is It Better For Characters Not To Have An Accent?/@comment-26581765-20150707063812

As I believe most people have mentioned in some way, It depends, really on:

- The Character

-The Audience

It doesn't hurt to have your character have an accent, just make sure not to over-do it. That's my advice to you 'o fellow writer!
