30 Days of Character Development: Day 1

((I decided to give this a try. It looks fun and I want to do more on this blog during days I can relax from school and work and answer questions I get once in a while.))

1.) Describe your character’s relationship with their mother or their father, or both. Was it good? Bad? Were they spoiled rotten, ignored? Do they still get along now, or no?

Alright, let's start with Ash's mother, Claire. 

Up until Ash was four, Claire was a kind doting mother who made sure to that Ash had everything she needed, and made sure she was happy. Though she did worry about her, since Ash isn't very affectionate and she does have some quirks (She has Aspergers Syndrome). Ash loved her mother, and did her best to make her proud. 

When Ash turned four, it was the day her parents signed the divorce papers, and decided to do joint custody. Her mother became cold, and devoted herself to only her work in the fashion industry. She often beat Ash, and refused to look at her because she resembled her father more than her mother. As Ash grew up, she avoided her mother, and kept to herself, even to the nannies that just came and left. Two years after the divorce, Claire remarried to Maurice Bonnefoy, a well known fashion designer. This was also the day she met her step brother, Francis. (this is about parents so I'll write more about her and Francis another time) Claire remained cold towards Ash, and chose favorites so this made Ash separate herself from others, fearing that they too would reject her. It got worse after her mother sent her to the U.S. because she lived in a small house, only to have someone visit a few times a week to check on her. 

Now her father.  Thomas is a very quiet man, and often kept to himself. Well he's quite shy around others, except when he's performing. Before he left, Ash looked up to her father, and occasionally sit in his office to listen to him play his violin. It was those father/daughter moments the two cherished. When he divorced her mother, He moved back to England to move in with his brother for a bit. Thomas would write to Ash, once in a while giving her small gifts to show he still cares. Ash enjoyed getting mail from him, and reading some post cards he sent. Though it didn't last long. the letters and cards only came rarely til he just stopped sending them in general. Ash would write to him but get nothing in return. She hoped one day she would hear from him, even if it was only a few words. After that her relationship with her father strained and she won't speak of him these days. 

To sum it up, She hasn't spoken to her parents in years, and the mention of either of them will make her go quiet or she'll try to change the subject.

Send me a ✍:For a letter from my muse to yours

Dear Lovina, I want to thank you again for solving that issue with the ghost that haunted the café I work at. I can finally get back to work like i normally do without having to get weird stares from people every time I carry a salt shaker in my pocket. I wish you a ton of luck and safety during your travels as well….You can stop over at the cafe anytime you wish, maybe for a chat and a hot cocoa, though I might not make it as good as fluffy ^^; ….I guess what i’m saying is…It’d be nice to have someone to talk to. In some ways we’re almost alike, except very different. Especially since you gave me helpful advice on dealing with my past. ^^; I guess i’m saying you’re like an older sister figure to me. Oh dear, I must be rambling now, and I bet you’re rolling your eyes reading this right now, and calling me an idiota. Well Hope to see you soon Lovina! -AshP.S. Your boyfriend is cute ;)((OWJO:WQJOA”JOFWHOGJFEW SENPAI NOTICED ME!!!! :D I really love your blog and your artwork!!!!))
