Yes, a couple! [name_m]Ash[/name_m] has two girlfriends at different points in the story, [name_f]Viviana[/name_f] and [name_f]Saylor[/name_f]. [name_f]Sanya[/name_f] also has had crushes on two different people (first [name_f]Taliya[/name_f], then Valentin). There could be more too that aren’t coming to mind at the moment. There was a storyline in which [name_f]Lucero[/name_f] and Celetíra dated, but I decided to use his first love, [name_f]Lise[/name_f], as a ghostly plot device instead.
DYHAC who are dead throughout the entire course of the story?
yes, [name_f]Nascha[/name_f] plays an incredibly important role in the plot of the story, arguably serving as the catalyst for the main conflict, and she was dead before two of the four main characters were even born. (she’s also the mother of one of them)
As of 2024, the following of my characters have 2 parents that are alive and well.
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] James’s mom [name_f]Viktoria[/name_f] Patreece [name_f]Anne[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m] (Nee Deckard) nn Vik/V and [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_m]Rubin[/name_m] [name_m]Brown[/name_m] the 11th nn 11
Grian [name_m]Philip[/name_m] [name_m]Watson[/name_m] has 5 living parents (he’s adopted by [name_f]Kristin[/name_f] and [name_m]Phil[/name_m] [name_m]Watson[/name_m] when he was about 17, his bio parents Xelqua and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] are alive and Kristin’s sister is a motherly figure in Grian’s life)
Ditto for
Scar [name_m]Kristian[/name_m] [name_m]Watson[/name_m] (who was adopted by them when he was 16 and it was around the same time as Grian)
[name_m]Parker[/name_m] [name_m]Raymond[/name_m] has four alive parents (two bio-parents two step parents) named [name_f]Lilyana[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_m]Raymond[/name_m] (nee Thomas) (bio-mom) [name_f]Anita[/name_f] [name_f]Charity[/name_f] [name_m]Elliott[/name_m] (Lilyana’s wife), and his dad and stepdad are [name_m]Gregor[/name_m] [name_m]Wilson[/name_m] and [name_m]Bellamy[/name_m] [name_m]Victor[/name_m] [name_m]Wilson[/name_m] NN Bella/V (both from Gregor)
DYHAC who has disowned one of their children for semi-admirable reasons (child is a mass murderer, child abused younger child, etc)
yes! across multiple projects, I have: [name_f]Sage[/name_f], [name_f]Fern[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], and [name_f]Embla[/name_f] (which means “elm”)
Yes! [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] [name_f]Devereux[/name_f], [name_m]Alec[/name_m] [name_m]Fitzwilliam[/name_m], Mohan Sharma, [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Han[/name_m], and [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] [name_m]Han[/name_m] are all in college in my WIP “The Apartment Pact.”
Yes! Rosalyn wore glasses, but did eventually break them as she went insane. Her best friend Chloe buried only her glasses after she was trapped in Hell and her body couldn’t be found.
Dang, that glasses story might be sadder than Polites (Spoilers for EPIC: The Musical relating to glasses, post-Cyclops specifically)
The only main character who both dies mid-story and continues to be important is Sylfa Reyanli [name_f]Lapis[/name_f], who dies at the end of the first book, and then is reincarnated partway through the second.
[name_m]Just[/name_m] Ix, really (the leader of the Order of the Throne, which is the organization charged with protecting the changeling line of succession). Mir is technically the ruler of the changelings, but they’re just a figurehead for Ix.
DYHAC who don’t like pizza? (IDK, I can’t think right now)
Ooh! Interesting question! [name_f]My[/name_f] character [name_f]Celestial[/name_f] is already on social media and has a substantial following. Other than them, I do have some charismatic characters who could, like [name_f]Melantha[/name_f] and [name_m]Casper[/name_m].
DYHAC who have anxiety around talking on the phone?
I do! This is actually one of the conflicts in a chapter I just wrote about my character [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] [name_f]Devereux[/name_f], who has social anxiety all around.
