I have the vaguest inklings of a story idea, and I need a name for the POV character. Her half-brother is the legendary wielder of some sort of fancy magical blade that probably slays malevolent deities and/or spirits. Something like that. Basically, in an attempt to turn the [name_u]Chosen[/name_u] One trope on its head, my character’s father is a diplomat in an unhappy marriage because of his job. On his travels to various kingdoms, he had flings with various women. At home he had two kids, [name_m]Zacharias[/name_m], who’s twenty when the story happens, and my unamed main character, who’s around fifteen. Years ago, rumor of the legendary Wielder of [name_f]Fancy[/name_f] Unamed [name_u]Magic[/name_u] [name_m]Blade[/name_m] spread, and he discovered when his powers got super out of control and resulted in the death of his family. Main character’s dad realized this all-powerful nine year old was his kid and took him back to the capital city, where the family dynamics got increasingly worse. I think the [name_u]Chosen[/name_u] One’s name is going to be [name_m]Haldan[/name_m], and I’m open to suggestions for him, but I really need something for my main character. Preferably upper class sounding, as her father is a wealthy diplomat, but nothing too traditional as the genre is definitely fantasy. The character herself is pretty withdrawn as a result of being overlooked (as kids, [name_m]Zacharias[/name_m] vied for attention through misbehavior and [name_m]Haldan[/name_m] was literally the savior of the world). She’s quiet, but quite analytical and observant, and can produce copious amounts of sarcasm when she lets her guard down.
Thanks!!
