Last Week I Made A Post Comparing The My Spiritwalker Characters To The People I Stole Their Names From,

Last week I made a post comparing the my Spiritwalker characters to the people I stole their names from, so here’s one for my We Faceless Folk characters. Tbh I think this one is more interesting

Chinwe

My first year in college I was in a program with a girl named Chinwendu, but she went by Chinwe for short. I thought it was such a cute name, but wait there’s more. My second year in college I transferred to a different school on the opposite end of the country and met another Chinwe. When I created the character, I knew I wanted an ethnic name, so of course this one immediately popped in my head.

I didn’t really know either Chinwe so I can’t say if they’re similar to mine, but when I met the second one she had a girlfriend and my character is also queer so there’s that.

Ms. Jones

This character is Chinwe’s mom and I named her after my introduction to Africana studies professor. I chose the name because my professor was an old black woman and my character is an old black woman so I thought it fit.

Other than that, they have nothing in common. My professor was so adventurous she went skydiving for her birthday. Meanwhile, my character barely gets out of her house because she has a bad knee.

Yejin

This one’s a bit complicated. My first roommate was named Sejin, but I didn’t want to give her the satisfaction of naming a character after her. So I named her Yejin, the name of a student in the center I work at, and it’s close enough to Sejin to be a dig.

The character Yejin is exactly like Sejin—a selfish, toxic bitch. Sure, she’s more exagerated, but is it really by that much when the real Sejin cried when I told the RA she opened the door when I was topless and made excuses to how it couldn’t have happened when she could have prevented it in the first place by paying attention to me for one measly second?

Alyanna

Alyanna is the name of one of my closest friends. When I couldn’t think of a name for this character, I used hers.

The real person and character are pretty similar. Both are college students who like going out places and posting on instagram. I think my friend has more of a sense of humor.

Thanks for asking!

Yes! Everyone is super supportive of each other. Queerphobia does not exist in my wip.

It impacts my characters by making them comfortable enough to open up to others about their romantic ventures or lack thereof. They also have plenty opportunities to explore their identity on their own.

The books we’ve been making the whole school year arrived! Want to see my contribution?

Even though this is my second year in my internship, it’s still so crazy to me to see my name in a book and my writing in print

Nice to meet you! I also like to collect books, but I don’t have that many right now because I’m a broke college students lol. I’ve been getting into romance lately so I’d love to hear more about your wip :)

Pixies-Love-Envy Introduction

About Me

Peach (She/They)

Professional Nanny

Based in the US

I love reading and writing, and I’m a dedicated book collector. I have over 400 books in my library, and my goal is to have 1,000 books.

Writing

I’m using this blog to post about and document the progress of my romance novel. I’m also hoping to get honest opinions about it from people who don’t know me personally.

I also want to write another sci-fi/fantasy piece, but I haven’t really fleshed out a plot yet. More on the story as it develops!

Current WIP

Too Sweet - March is an optimistic do-gooder on his way to Redwood University to start his master's degree. He's far from home and misses his brothers deeply, but he still feels like the world is at his fingertips. Cricket is a high school dropout going nowhere fast. Her toxic ex won't leave her alone, and she's deeply unhappy with her job as a bartender at a tavern frequented by Dungeons and Dragons larpers. They can't help but feel drawn to each other, but is he too sweet for her?

1. Are you spiritual at all?

I guess. I’m grateful my goddess gave magic to my clan, but that doesn’t mean I like all her decisions or will pray to her.

2. Do you want children? If so, how many?

Having children would be fun! I think two is a good number.

3. What’s your favorite memory?

Any memory with my friends. Doesn’t matter if we’re just chatting or going out for a night on the town. I love them so much that every moment is special.
