Virgil's would appear like Hades in the "Clash of the Titans" remake. Maximum aura farming.

He'd also gain a broad brimmed hat, a long black coat, and step down from the sky playing a "Danse Macabre" on a violin.

He is the Silver-Tongued *Devil* trope.

Miss Lysandra, our main, reflects on the past four weeks since her 10th birthday.

The death of her mother, Queen Eryris, and the destruction of the Castle is the catalyst, setting in motion her seething need for Vengeance and her obsession with The White Dragon. #WIPsnips #writesky #writecommunity

No love lost between Elleri and her cousin #writesky #writecommunity #wipsnips
There was a long silence before Kaius muttered, “So… I suppose there is no love lost between you and your cousin.” Normally Elleri would reprimand a servant for nosiness, but he’d caught her in an charitable mood. “My cousin is desperate for my position as eldest heir to the Montwheel fortune, as my aunt was before her. It is a multi-generational project of theirs.” Elleri glared into the fire. “Her insistence on being irritating is not part of that project, it’s just a marvelous facet of her personality.” Kaius pressed his lips tightly together in what could be an effort to quell a laugh. “How does she intend to take the Montwheel fortune, Mistress? Do you think she has ill intent on your life?”

So, there's a reason #HorseGirl's biography stops in 1971 and this says it perfectly: "If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story.” #OrsonWelles #writercommunity #writecommunity #WriteSky #skybrarians #horses #kidlit

#AwesomeCharacters

Fiddle. Virgil is a combination of various tropes and character concepts.

Faust. The Silver Tongued Devil. In "Danse Macabre," it is Death playing the fiddle.

He is the "Best that Ever Was" who won The Devil Went Down to Georgia.

It just has to be.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Today let's talk about instruments!

Is there a musical instrument that makes you think of your character?

Is it one they play? Does something about the look or sound make you think of them?

Since a young alien girl was neglected in most of my series, I just sent a short story where a human male MC goes from the cocky pilot to girl dad in nothing flat. My first reader approves. One regret I've always had is I never got to be a girl dad.

Paulie likes to collect anything cat related and craft supplies.

Gordon tries not collect anything, but he keeps mementos (good and bad) mostly in a box stored away.

Vicky's not a MC in the main story but she collects mostly mini fairy figurines.

The prologue is live! 🌙 Neon lines pulse. A prisoner wakes, drained and trapped. Shadows move, silent and unyielding. Another captive arrives. No answers. No escape. Just the certainty that this isn’t over.

Didn't like the one from my newer project, so I went back to TDOA. I also realized that the snippets from TDOA should have a blue highlight instead of a green one :)

“What difference what that have made? It don’t change what you agreed to do.” “Alice, I told you! I didn’t do it! I still have all of yo’ documents — actually, there is suttin’ you need to see, it’s in the trunk, let me just go —” “Don’t move a fuckin’ muscle.” She snarled, as I tried to turn around to go to the trunk. “Do you want to die faster?” I froze in place, and my breathing picked up again, afraid of what she might do next. Alice wasn’t listening to me. I suppose I can’t expect her to want to listen, because in her mind, I betrayed her. Had it been the other way around, I doubt I would have listened to her either. It’s human nature. I just wish humans didn’t work that way by default, I wish there was more room for reason when the mind is clouded with anger and hurt. I never meant to hurt her, and I desperately wanted her to see that I was on her side. I was — and I am always on her side, even when I shouldn’t be, even when I don’t defend her. That won’t ever change.

“It’s fine, Taylor.” Alice said. “I would do anythin’ to live wit’ my sista again. So, he could live wit’ us, or nearby. Whatever he comfortable wit’.” I frowned. “You have a sister?” Alice’s eyes widened. She said a little too much, but there was no going back now. “Y — yeah. Yeah, I do — well, I did. She’s… dead.” “Oh…” I sighed. “I’m sorry, Alice.” “It’s okay.” Alice sighed. “She was always… a lot more free than I was. Sure, our livin’ situation was shit, but she always had faith it would get better. Yet, somehow, she the one who got sick and died, and I was the one left, even though Ion deserve it.”

Didn't have "career", so I used "task."

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WriteCommunity
I went to sleep relatively easily, but Alice was wide awake. She felt like she had been bewitched by me, that I somehow put a spell on her to make her want me, and distract her from her plan and her pain. She knew that was ridiculous, as I had no idea how to do magic, and had no idea about her plan, but then why else couldn’t she stay on task?

I was trying to find "whip" in some of my less used WIPs but the word is SPARSE in my work apparently.
So I submit to #writesky and #writecommunity yet another snippet from The Dragon's Emissary

#WIPSnips

P.S., the "bearded stranger" is Zelnor. The two MCs haven't exchanged intros yet
Erianna blocked the half-elf’s path. She towered over the bearded stranger, standing almost a foot taller than them. “That gem is dangerous,” the bard said. “Can you just leave already?” the bearded half-elf asked. “You have to bring it back where it came from.” At this point, Erianna was absolutely willing to just take it from the half-elf. It was for their own good. The ishlanian darted forward, but the half-elf was ready. Before Erianna could even try to grab it, they whipped the ring out of their pocket and held it over the river. “Do you even know what you stole?” Erianna asked. “I told you. I didn’t. Steal. Anything,” the half-elf said. “It’s a dragon’s scale,” Erianna said. “Do you really want to be in a pact with a dragon?” The half-elf’s eyes widened, and the ring slipped through their fingers. Erianna managed to catch it before it fell in the river, careful not to touch the gem. The bard held it above her head, just in case the half-elf made a grab for it again.
