Here's my response for one of the @inklings-challenge Camp Tolkien: Day 9 prompts.
Shadow Puppets: Describe at least three characters in your project, using only 1-2 sentences for each. Arienna: A gentle young noblewoman who doesn't know her own worth.
Thalia: A rebellious tomboy who longs for adventure and gets more than she bargained for. (Arienna's cousin.) Luke: A big brother and young soldier who doubts himself, and who hides his own pain by taking care of others and making them laugh. (Thalia's older brother and Arienna's oldest cousin.) Jason: A charming young rogue with big ambition, who wants to be powerful, admired, and feared.
Bran: A wanderer and exile with a sweet smile and a kind heart. Arden: A cheerful, motherly young woman who is always ready to help her friends or stand up against enemies.
Roger: A tall, broad-shouldered, quietly strong man, a loving father, and the lord of a small northern province. (Arienna's father.)
Marcus: A gruff, hardened commander of soldiers, who hides a heart that fiercely loves his family. (Thalia's father.)
Merryth: A sharp-tempered, red-headed mother who prides herself on being a prim and proper lady. (Thalia's mother and Roger's sister.) Lady Bethan: A wise, compassionate older woman who is the local healer and a mentor to the other characters.
Daeren: A young squire and lord's heir who worries about morality and the rules of chivalry. (Arienna's older brother.)
Evan: A quirky, quiet redhead who likes to learn about science and tinker with mechanical things. (Thalia's younger brother.) This is the first time I've introduced my entire cast. I like the descriptions I've written for them here. What do you think? Would you enjoy reading about these characters?
