Happy Storyteller Saturday! What was your wip's cast like when they were younger? Are they embarrassed about who they used to be? How have they grown?
Mizona: Super friendly, loved with all of her heart, an adventurer, curious about the world, a little reckless, made friends with everyone, full of smiles, wore her heart on her sleeve.
Today she’s closed up, bitter, resentful, angry, doesn’t trust easily, keeps her heart close to her surrounded by barbed wire.
She misses who she used to be, she looks back at her younger self with a smile, wanting to go back to that time, and that thought only makes her more resentful.
Anju: Desperate for affection, angry at Rhei, blames Rhei for their mother treating them the way she did, depressed, wondering what she did wrong.
Today she’s loud, smiley (but fake), makes jokes and puns to lighten the mood, pretends to be okay until she can’t.
She doesn’t like how she treated Rhei and wishes she treated her better.
Alice: Curious, gives gifts to people until she’s run out, tries to figure out that people like, a sweetheart, teams up with Anju against Rhei.
Today she understands people enough to know how to make them like her, a people pleaser, has lost herself, follows Anju, if you asked her what her hobbies were she wouldn’t be able to answer you without wondering if she likes that because of others or because she truly enjoys it.
Like Anju she regrets how they treated Rhei
Courtney: Scared, quiet, never left her room, protective towards her little sister, self sacrificing, talks politely, remains calm, straight back, chin up at the table, silent, does not set anyone off.
Today she’s stronger than she used to be, she’s no longer scared of those who scared her before, she’s still very protective towards Hana, What she experienced taught her a skill set to be ‘perfect’. Its not a good thing, she’s constantly stressed and burning herself out.
She doesn’t like what she had to go through but she’s proud of herself for surviving.
and that’s all I’m doing, If I get asked this again I’ll answer for the rest.
Thanks so much for the ask 💕
