- Not really.- Did you create any characters (in games, art, or writing) this year? Describe one
- I did!! He was pretty recent too and I’m still getting to know him, but his name is Declan Darkwood and he’s part of the royal family in a book I’ve been planning for a couple years. He’s kind of an enigma because he’s kind of like a villain in the story but not because he’s evil, but because he’s hurt/a victim of his own circumstance. I think there’s going to be a spin-off about him too! I wrote a little piece on him that I was really proud of, but other than that I don’t know much about him other than he’s a royal, he was best friends with my other character Becca as a child and growing up, and that I’m in love with him. I picture him to be taller, a little on the serious side, dark hair and dark blue (navy, almost black) eyes.
