Hehe it seems there has! It would have been so funny to see her try to hack him to bits while he dodges out of the way smiling and saying ‘Oops you missed me’ and ‘try to work on ypur footwork darling’

LOL, that would be hilarious XD She totally would have done that last time XD

I really like Liorah! I’d love to know how she grows emotionally and how she matured in your WIP? Without any spoilers if course.

Thank you! Her flaws really made her fun so I’m kind of scared that character development will make her less interesting? So that’s a balance I’m trying to strike. Mostly by allowing her to still let out her gremlin side every so often XD It’s still there XD

Her story arc over the trilogy is about acceptance, and I broke that down into three facets. The first book is her family, the second are her friends, and the third is the tribe in general, and all three books are about her accepting herself.

I’m going to be very very vague because I’m trying not to spoil anything XD Also why Liorah’s introspection is kind of abstract.

Basically, Liorah starts off as you saw her first, she’s very defiant, defensive, and extremely independant because she doesn’t want to let anyone close or be vulnerable.

She gradually gets over that, and there’s a tragedy that was partially her fault, partially Aydin’s fault, partially nobody’s fault.

She comes out of it very hurt and very angry at the entire world and herself. And by the entire world I mean Aydin and the ‘enemies’ specifically.

So the second book is about her slowly learning to forgive herself and forgive the others.

In the process, she got a whole lot less proud since she doesn’t feel like she has to be. She’s okay with some people seeing her more vulnerable. She lets her kind side out a lot more and she’s quicker to forgive people.

Also, she’s been through a lot worse so she doesn’t take things as seriously XD

And the third book is going to be Liorah overachieving and trying to force herself to perfection and repeatedly failing until she realizes that she doesn’t need to try to be someone else to be accepted.

The previous books were about her rebelling against what standards were being set for her, and in this book she tries to be everything she should be to ‘earn’ her place. And failing repeatedly XD

In my series Lorcan basically learns how to accept himself and how to follow his own heart rather than what is expected of him.

That’s a cool character arc! I can see how that would really help him!

I’m enjoying this so much XD I can’t wait to see what happens next with these two lolll

Oh, SAME!!! They’re hilarious together XD

I also can’t wait until I can convince Aydin to show himself because his ex-enemy status with Liorah gives them a hilarious dynamic that is basically “I would die for you but I’m going to complain the entire time.”
