Character Question 33

Character Question 33

What is their favorite fairytale? Least favorite?

Bella: The original sleeping beauty is her least favourite, for obvious reasons. If sleazy kings could not take advantage of helpless women, that'd be great. And let's not encourage cannibalism, even if your husband is not nice to you.

Mulan is probably her favourite. Where a self confident woman dupes an entire army, fights, wins, takes care of her family, and then comes back and can be happy with herself is a compelling and inspiring story for her.

Freddie: Stupidity frustrates him endlessly, so the fairytale about the sausage, the bird and the dog/mouse (or something like that) is probably his lead favourite. They disrupt the order they have and all suffer for it which infuriates him to no end.

His favourite is the stonecutter one. (Where a stonecutter wishes to become grand things and the mountain he's carving on, which is magic, and likes him, grants his wishes, before he ends up a stonecutter again because that's where he's happiest) He likes the idea of dreaming beyond your place in life. Find a boon in life and twist it to your advantage. Use observational skills to find and best something greater than you. 

Zach: Snow White is his least favourite. Can we not bully people based on things they can't control? That would be nice. Again, cannibalism is not a great thing to attempt. And putting down women is very old fashioned and something he doesn't like. It's okay to be protective, as long as women are independent and able to rise to wherever they wish.

(I'm terrible with remembering names) There's a fairytale where this woman's husband and the father of her child is taken away because of a curse, so she goes on this incredibly long journey, wearing through a pair of iron shoes and being helped by relatives of the sun and moon. Zach loves the perseverance and kindness shown by the characters, so this is probably his favourite.

Zach: Before her character arc, he struggles to be nice around her. Her attitude reminds him of every kid that bullied him in elementary school - aloof and hateful. The only redeemable thing about her is her family situation. Since she was raised by her uncle, she doesn't know much better, which gives him a little hope for her future if she spends more time around kinder people. Unfortunately, he probably won't be those people, at least in the beginning; eventually, they might bond, but she has to become a more empathetic person first.

Bella: Like Zach, before her character arc, Dawn is on thin ice with Bella. She'll treat Dawn coolly and won't be outright rude, but it'll take a lot for Dawn to redeem herself. However, her social skills are impressive to Bella, who has to work painfully hard to stay afloat in high school politics. Though in saying that, she's often confused by Dawn's chameleon-esque personality when seeing her interact with different people.

Freddie: Dawn is his favorite person in the entire group. She has good taste, understands that some people are just inferior. However, she is a little cold, and he's intimidated by her age and temperament - he'd like to befriend an ally, but she also has social experience he doesn't. But any fear he has in regards to her comes from a place of respect, which is more than can be said of anyone else of either group.

day seven: dawn

last, but certainly not least, is dawn! although she keeps herself apart from the main group, she is connected to them through nyx, her cousin. dawn is the daughter of aunt jetta, but is closer to her uncle, nero, who treated her as his heir- until nyx showed up. then, dawn felt like an afterthought in her own family, as everyone’s attention seemed focused on nyx. the Institute of Briarwood gives her a chance to prove herself, and she’s determined to take it.

nicknames: gorgeous (by aster), ’cuz (by nyx)

power: darkness

ethnicity: greek italian

birthday: february 29

sexuality: pansexual

For the get-to-know-the-writer ask meme, red and grey!

Thanks for the ask

Red: What type of writer’s block do you experience the most?

I often lose motivation in a story when it's moving slow. I like excitement, and even though I know it's coming (because of a loose plan that I somewhat follow) it's hard to get myself out of a ditch. Also, emotional ruts: I'm a very emotional person and if I'm not in the mood to write, I won't be able to do it at all. (That was a very round about way to answer that. I hope it made sense and answered the question in the end)

Grey: What’s a common writing tip that you almost always follow?

I don't really look for writing tips much, so I'm not sure how many I actually follow. I think I'm good at showing not telling, because a beautifully painted scene is fantastic for me

I wish I had fangs
