30 Days of Character Development
Day 1:Ā Describe your characterās relationship with their mother or their father, or both. Was it good? Bad? Were they spoiled rotten, ignored? Do they still get along now, or no?
Prosper never met his mother and knows absolutely nothing about her. Any question posed to his father was always dismissed. He likes to think that maybe itās jjust too painful for his father to talk about her, that something terrible happened, that she had died when he was just a kid. Really, his mother was a nobody. A fling for his father, someone he paid to have obliviated. He doesnāt think about her anymore and if you asked him heād say she was better off for not knowing him.Ā
His father is an entirely different story. Growing up, he thought the world of his dad. Honestly looked up to him and wanted to follow in his footsteps. He knew his conniving ways and what tactics he had used to rise up in the ministry but that didnāt make him think any less of him, it was smart what he had done. Prosper was always quick to defend him. Thatās why he was completely blindsided when his dad gave him up to Fenrir. True, his father wasnāt the warmest of parentsārarely was he there, at the train station, to see Prosper off to school and Prosper could count on one hand how many owls he had sent to him over the yearsābut he was still his son and when it counted, his dad had always been there for him; made sure he had the best of practically everything, or, at least, the best of what he wanted. He can still remember the way his eyes lit up whenever he was proud of him.Ā
His dad would never stay in the debt of someone else, never willingly and unfortunately, Proser had to learn that the hard way. Heās never thought about revenge though, at least not in the killing kind of way. He wants to take away the one thing that means most to him, his power. He wants to watch him fall, preferably by his own hands and with other wizards cowering next to him as the wolves take control.
