Insane fun fact about The Lunar Chronicles!!!!
Marissa didn't know who the Lunar Heir was going to end up being until she was done writting the drafts for Scarlet and Cress! She said herself that Cinder Scarlet and Cress were all a choice to be the Lunar Heir, and that it it took her a while to figure out who was going to become it.
So, Cinder wasn't initially going to be *necessarily* the Lunar Heir, that is just WILD to me.
(for proof this is a fragment of one of the descriptions of the early drafts of TLC Marissa posted on her official blog almost ten years ago!)
Could you imagine if Cress was the lunar heir? Or even worse, SCARLET?? Tffff
