Some Things/Feelings I associate my characters with:
Kairo:
Green. Morning. Spring. Large fields of flowers and weeds and wheat. Morning dew. Sunshine drizzles. The faint smell of mint. That feeling of drinking ice cold water after brushing your teeth. Silk. Daybreak in a forest as the sun breaks through the canopies. Light fog. Post-breakup haircuts. Smutty texts. Hangouts in an empty parking lot. Straight up tequila. Being in a car going fast down an empty road.
Alliecat:
Red. Midday. Summer. Campfires. Honey bourbon. Warm sunshine on your skin after leaving a cold room/building. Teak wood candles. The rainbow that shows in a water drizzle while the sun shines on it. Bubble gum. Fireplaces. The excitement of finding the perfect outfit. A really really good hug after crying. Summer dresses. “Biiiig stretch!” Typewriters.
Alex:
Gold. Sundown. Fall. City nightlife. Floral/cherry blossom perfume. Hot toddies. Messy sketchbooks. Sunflower fields. Running your fingers through your hair after washing it. Tropical beaches. Aesthetic gaming room. Colorful tattoos. Laughing til you’re crying. Micaela by Sonoro Carruseles. Música criolla de Perú. The lipstick left behind when someone kissed a cheek. Hair dye.
Kori:
Purple. Evening. Spring. Mystical forests. Journals. The heater coming on during a harsh winter. Big libraries. Romantic jazz music. Long wool coats. The smell of your favorite cologne. Nose kisses. Tea. Linking hands together with someone you love. Soft, big and long winter scarves. Comfort food on a rainy day. Cursive handwriting. Floral scents.
Jacob:
Blue. Midnight. Winter. Auroras. Time lapse photos of starry skies. Computers with notebook piles surrounding them. Cold fruit juice with ice. The feeling of fascination when you learn something. Divinity by Porter Robinson. Wonder. Sour skittles. Microfiber blankets. Fresh laundry. Post its with words of affirmation on a mirror. Goosebumps on your skin when listening to a good song.
Zara:
Crimson. Sunrise. Relief. Summer. Bird watching. Oversized sweatshirts. The determination to finish a race. Fireworks on a summer evening. Scrolling late on your phone when your brain can’t sleep. Little doodles on the corner of a page. The faint smell of coconut. Hot chocolate. Plush teddy bears. Running your fingers along a scabbed cut, as it heals. Waste bin full of balled up papers, drafts of written work. Reading nook.
