17: How does alcohol affect your character?

Erianna - Not at all at first, and then all at once. While she is normally quiet and doesn’t give away her emotions, alcohol can give her wild, expressive mood swings. She will jump from being boastful and arrogant one second to having a nervous breakdown the next. She will insult someone’s intelligence, but then realize she is being mean and apologize over and over, then think herself a terrible person and shut down. After a while, she builds herself back up and starts the cycle anew.

Mitsin - Quickly. When drunk, she becomes giggly and more talkative than usual. Forgets how to keep minor secrets and the subtleties of hiding information. If her crush is around, she will hang on his every word. If not, she will talk to any random person but quickly gets bored if they aren’t exciting and will wander to find someone new. She is the kind of drunk you would find dancing on a table after a few shots.

Katuk - It turns him into the Mom Friend. He makes sure his friends are hydrated and have eaten and are constantly having fun or at least being okay. He seeks out those who seem upset and gives them someone to vent to. He fusses and worries over others because it keeps him from thinking too much about himself and his own life. In the rare moments that everyone else is okay and he can’t distract himself further, he settles into a depressive cycle that typically ends in uncontrollable sobbing when he can get away from his friends.

19: What words would your character use to define themself?

Erianna - Strong (physically, mentally, emotionally); able to read others; persistent; witty

[she would never call herself compassionate or caring, but if someone were to insist, she wouldn’t refute them]

Mitsin - Intelligent; adaptable; empathetic; passionate; energetic

[she would stubbornly argue against the terms “vindictive” or “grudge-holding,” though true]

Katuk - Dedicated; loyal; dependable; friendly; funny

I am really nervous about the relationship I am writing for my story. Basically Mitsin, the mage lady I drewed a picture of, is underage and crushes seriously hardcore on an older guy. The older guy is an asswipe and purposefully uses her crush to emotionally abuse and manipulate her, turning her against her friends and causing strife within the group because he’s working for the bad guy.

I want to make it as clearly not-okay as I can within my story (portraying it as abuse by showing her horribly negative feelings of isolation, having her realize afterwards that what he did was wrong and that she is not to blame for any of it, punishing him textually in the end with his worst fear), but I am so worried that future readers would still ship them together and try to excuse his behavior. Since she is so infatuated with him, anything from her POV will be rose-colored until she realizes the deception.
