The character relationships in The Hero's Villain would probably be best illustrated by a complex visual web—but, in lieu of that, here's a quick reference for the characters on this blog.

Villains (& adjacent)

Wren Argent, aka The Phantom Prince | they/them, he/him | 16 y/o | telekinetic Supervillain - A determined, sarcastic teenager who's hell-bent on finding out who framed their mom.

Axton Vale | he/him | early 50s | crime lord - Insurance magnate by day, overlord of the city's underground by night. Cutthroat yet surprisingly honest. Phantom's biological father.

Loren Bruce, aka Doctor Professor | he/she/they/whatever | early 50s | villain medic - No-nonsense, universally-beloved doctor of the city's villains and criminals.

Lizard | they/them | 15 y/o | medic-in-training - Adoptive child of Doctor Professor who aims to follow in their parent's footsteps.

Vivienne Thorn, et al. | she/her | mid 40s | shapeshifter spy - She is whoever she has to be at any given time; also Wren's biological mother.

Technowhiz | he/him | mid-30s | tech genius - Most prominent (and most destructive) villain currently active in the city.

Drew Sawyer | he/she ? | 19 y/o | power: intangibility - Disgraced former hero, incarcerated former villain, bitterly angry at the system and himself. Former apprentice of Vivienne's.

Glossary of Mimsy’s Nicknames ๋࣭ ⭑

So. I really, really like the gimmick that TWST does with Floyd Leech where he names people after fish and sea creatures. And I always wanted to use something similar, but never had a character where that felt like it fit!

Enter Mimsy, whose whole thing is shapeshifting and adapting outside sources to his own personality, and suddenly it’s like whoaaa, I can finally do that. But I’m autistic and detail-oriented so it’s evolved into me using plant symbolism because plants and witches have a long history of being intertwined. This is a decently helpful guide for both me and anyone interacting because this is the stuff he’s going to use to refer to people without naming them!
