When I wrote Diara, I was initially drawn to this concept of a girl trapped between two sides of the war, battling between family and the unknown, and I think you definitely captured that in your application. Your plots helped paint a picture of her inner desires, how she longs to be out of the shadows and into the light, but it was your para sample that truly sealed the deal for me. The way you conveyed her relationship with her father told me you’d be the perfect person to bring our beloved advisor to life, and I can’t wait to see her grow on the dash. “Remember, her mother used to say: a daughter is the best thing one can be. But she always felt like more of an offering. A lamb coaxed into the room and ordered to await the wolf. It would have been better if it were a wolf. Something ugly and without familiarity. Something that did not sound like her father, and instead howled at the pale moon outside.” We’re so excited to see where you take her!
