[quote=@Dragonfly 9] It sounds like you like my character; thanks if you do! [/quote] I do! I thought every character so far has been very fun and interesting in different ways. I had a similar thought to what you just described, in that it's interesting that Crow seems very well adjusted and overall seem to have dealt with some pretty tragic things well (honestly this is great, some characters will respond less well to big events and that is fun/great, but it's also fun to see a character that seems to be doing fine). Related, in my head I sort of see Naivara having a similar path to Crow (maybe not as cheerfully, lol), where instead of returning to her past (going back to being a wizard in a library fortress), her time with Octavia and the party really pushed her out into the world, to the point that she ended up a court wizard involved in politics. My aim was to write a "sheltered/isolated character learns to live in the wide world thanks to the main character/party" sort of background. Also, I like the idea of going against the grain of an arrogant and purely magic focused wizard (e.g., wizard in their tower finding mundane things a bother).
