MC Prior Relationship Tag Game!

I was tgged by @mjjune and am tagging @writingamongther0ses @ettawritesnstudies and @ryns-ramblings

As always let me know if you don't want to be tagged and there's no pressure to participate :)

So, what relationships (platonic, romantic, anything) have your main chracters had before the beginning of your stories?

WHEaT is by far my most developed fic so I'm gonna go with Yining

She's not had many opportunities for healthy relationships since she was perpetually under the manipulative control of guardian figures, a lot of which consists of highly traumatic events I'm debating if I should write. However, while growing up she was quite close with Hua'er, Yu'er, and Xiaoshitou, who were also raised in the brothel. Hua'er and Yu'er, twins, became the top billing courtesans and Xiaoshitou became the head chef. After she was sold by Madam Lan to the General, Yinning was sent to a school for soldiers and, secretly, assassins. There, she fell in love with another student and they had a secret and intense relationship. When the General found out about it from his spies, he sent Yinning's lover away to the front lines of a war, where he was killed.

Heyyy hope you're still smashing through that outlining!

I am utterly failing my word count so far lol How's your miniwrimo going?

Today's question is; what is a secret about your main character that noone else knows yet?

Hello! I took a day off yesterday to read through a new book I was super excited about but because I was so far ahead I'm still going strong! I've been less focused on wordcount and more on just maintaining the momentum/habit which was really helpful for my motivation and I wish you all the luck in fulfilling your goals this month too, even if it's off to a slow start :)

One secret Yinning has that absolutely no one else knows is that she committed a little bit of mass murder right before the events of this book, but it was mostly justified? At least to her. She's my morally-grey chaotic neutral killer criminal blorbo from my head and I love her so

The true trials and tribulations of writing a disaster-child is making her smart but also dumb. She's the best but she's also outmatched. She has no morals except when she dows and has closed her heart to everyone except apparently the majority of my cast. She's an open-book mystery.

🧣Scarf: tell us about a secret your OC has and what would happen if they revealed it.

Thanks for the ask!

So in my plot outline Yinning has just met and become good friends with the leader of a Rebel cell. She is, however, keeping the fact that she was the mastermind behind the collapse and capture of a sister cell from him and she'll keep that little info locked up tight for as long as she can manage it because she's afraid that he'll hate her and not want anything to do with her anymore and he's the first friend she's made with no strings attached ever.

WHEaT has big gay energy except the kind of gay energy between a nonbinary person and a man
