    You got it exactly right, down to the last irrelevant detail! 😀

    First off, I love the contrast of their views on the weather and rain. That was a blast to read.

    Thanks, I really appreciate it! I had to use something to connect and contrast them, and what better than the weather? XD

    These characters appear to be school or university girls, so I didn’t really come up with any background info, but here we go:

    Yep, I was purposefully vague because I just… don’t know yet XD

    Character 1:

    Her personality is vivacious and extremely optimistic. She takes pleasure in the bright things in life without holding back, and finds pleasure in things that are often considered unpleasant by others.

    However, she cares a great deal about what others think of her (at least in some ways), and mockery and chagrin are great fears of hers.

    Precisely! I couldn’t have said it better myself! I love Ophelia, she’s a joy to write, she makes me feel happier just by writing her XD

    Character 2:

    She is a cynic, and cares very little about what others think about her. She has a shrewd mind and an acute tongue that she uses with little compunction. She has a sardonic sense of humor.

    (side note, I love this type of character. Like a lot. xD)

    Oh, she really is! You got her exactly right! LOL, absolutely! She’s been giving me immense trouble but she intrigues me so much I can’t give up on her XD

    This builds on that shrewd mind of hers in a very interesting way. One way to construe this would be to assume that she is fastidious or a legalist of sorts. But she may also be a lover of knowledge and want her professor to teach when he is to teach. It may also be a mix of a pedantic side with a desire to have things the way she wants them–in this case that being that the professor be there on time. Very nuanced.

    Again, you’re right on all counts! She’s all of those things. She’s very precise and wants things to be correct and systematic, and she loves to learn and devotes herself do it. I must admit, she also has ‘leadership skills’ which basically means she tries to boss everyone around and usually succeeds XD

    Great voices, and both were fun to read. What WIP is this in? Is this that mystery book you were working on or something I haven’t heard of?

    Thank you! Yep, it’s the mystery! Athena will probably be the main investigator and Ophelia is the sidekick and the main POV.
