Why did you choose Aya/Alfsyre to be Malekith's sister? Isn't it kinda cliche, as many make Thor or Loki siblings? It just seems kinda cliche as said.
It is cliche in a way, I will definitely admit. Originally, she was made for Tales of Asgard, as she had a major role in my other OC’s story.
At first, I was going to make her related to Malekith, but decided not to, as I didn’t want to come off as one of those people who make siblings (as you have said) of a major protagonist/antagonist. And I’d like to say, I was formerly of a big fandom whom would BEAT me with a stick just for doing that, so I wouldn’t do it at that time. XD;
I didn't necessarily choose her to become Malekith's sister, it was just - once I did add her on as Malekith’s sister, she came out to have a bigger storyline and became more interesting as I wrote her down, and soonly enough it just came out with her ending up being his half-sister.
She just started and ended as being related to Malekith. However in her official ToA!Version that’s interwined with Twila’s character, she was more involved with him, and was more like him, so it was a bit cliche, however she became good and stuff in the end. (Then when Mal comes back from the dead in EMH, just suddenly becomes a bitch again)
I never wanted to make her come off cliche by being related to him, but her storyline and role stood out more when he was added through, cause if he was like, her neighbor whom she never met and killed all her family, then she’d be more like Waziria for example. (But she certainly wouldn’t at least just say “I’ll be his proxy and let him rule and eat people’s children while they’re parent’s watched - LOL ME”)
However all in all, I seriously hope I really don’t bother people by her being related to Malekith. ;w;
