I was wondering if we can have a post for MC where everything that is canon about them can be listed? I like to make really detailed outlines for my MCs (for the ifs I really like).
Ooooh sure!! I assume you're looking for like...the canon facts about MC? I absolutely can do that.!
MC is 25 years old. They're 3 years older than Willow, who is 22.
They grew up visiting their family's lake cabin every summer until they were 14-15, and typically ended up watching Willow while there.
They're a strong swimmer/at least can handle themself confidently in the water, even if they're totally non-athletic otherwise.
MC has a natural affinity for magic. Even mundane MCs (though it's buried deeper in that case lol). It simply didn't express itself fully until they were in a place where magic is unquestionably real.
I try to leave MC's characterization as open as I can for y'all, but there are two traits in my mind that are canon about them (or, at least, I keep in mind while I write):
One, MC is naturally curious. To me, even MCs who want nothing to do with Easthaven's mysteries and are desperate to escape still can't help but be a little curious. Even if they don't pursue it.
Two, MC doesn't take Willow seriously. Not fully, not even MCs who are best friends with them. This especially I'm intentional about. It can range from a slightly patronizing "oh, that's just how Willow is" to full on hatred, "Willow is a fuck-up and I'm the only one who sees it". It's not even meant to be actively malicious, more like...to MC, Willow will always be the little kid who followed them around like a lost puppy, no matter how old they get.
