Strange request, I know, but we’re all writers here so I guess we’re used to it. Anyway, this is what my brain came up with last night: a story about two half sisters, both the daughters of a decently psycho crime boss. She’s dramatic, bold, slightly crazy, and very confident. She isn’t exactly the most caring mother, as you’d expect. Sort of like Cruella in the Disney prequel movie—lol that’s the best comparison my brain will come up with right now. The story will definitely have a steampunk feel, although beyond that, I’ve got nothing worldbuilding wise. Anyway, crazy slightly evil crime boss mother will eventually get arrested in the middle of a daring heist, and her daughters will attempt an even crazier heist to free her. I’d love her name to be something bold, something noticeable, while still having a familiar feel. The protagonist’s name is [name_f]Vienne[/name_f], and her older sister is currently [name_f]Astra[/name_f], though I’m considering [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] for her mother, which would take [name_f]Astra[/name_f] out of the running. If possible, I’d love suggestions for Vienne’s older sister, her mother, and their surname. Thanks!!
