Our characters past are a huge part of who they are, which is why it's so important to develop them!Ava Jaehttp://avajae.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-74763650989191806602013-01-24T15:27:53.345-08:002013-01-24T15:27:53.345-08:00That's an important way to look at it, Ava.

Just because something is deemed wrong by one person and what has shaped them doesn't mean that what another does is evil just because they don't understand them. They could also have good intentions, but since they haven't been on their side of the road, they see it differently. Different pasts, especially troubled pasts, are a great source of conflict.

My protagonist's father, who loves her (and still treats her like a little girl sometimes), warns her from it, while her grandfather (retired war veteran, scholar, and philosopher) challenges her to use it. The magic itself isn't too bad, but after one of the characters accidentally erases another character's memories and sends him into a coma, it raises a moral question.Robin Rednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-1638199993386738532013-01-23T05:59:40.344-08:002013-01-23T05:59:40.344-08:00I have a question.
