@simza Thank you so much for your help! I will make sure to fix those as soon as I’m able
@Eric_knight Hmm, you’re forgetting about R a little, aren’t you? Maybe I didn’t describe it well enough, in which case I will fix that, but their burnmark is not exactly small. Though that’s not a character flaw, just part of their past and a physical feature.
And I totally agree with you that not all RO’s need to be super hot; in fact, I think that’s a very boring description and that many authors of real novels (at least YA ones) rely way too much on it to make the characters likable. I like characters with both mental and physical flaws, myself.
That’s why the only one I used the “attractive” physical description of is M (from an objective stance) and instead focused more on just describing what the other characters looked like without claiming they were good-looking. And as I mentioned before, Q stands out because of their eyes and hair, but other than that they are pretty plain
@resuri08 Interesting! I really want to be able to confirm or deny, but it’d be too spoilery as of now
Though being self-conscious about one’s appearance certainly can be a flaw, I can reveal that even if one or two of the characters might have that insecurity, it won’t be the biggest focus of their character, so to speak. R, for example, is very insecure about their burnmark but it’s not a huge flaw of theirs in retrospect.
@Gwenstn Don’t worry, I totally agree with you. I could never get invested in writing characters that weren’t flawed or felt like real people (at least that’s what I’m striving for, though of course I still have a lot to learn). So although I can’t reveal too much about Q just yet, they won’t be a flawless good person
As for these examples of what Q might be like, I have no idea who those even are but I love reading all your speculations!
@AmericanShakespeare and @Taylor_Enean I love that song uh, just fyi
