I was tagged by @jay-avian, @trancetales, and @late-to-the-fandom (and quite a few others, but these were the most recent), for this one!

From Of Starlight and Beasts:

"Oh yes, because the murderous army at our doorstep wasn't enough of a motivation already, I see," Eidan mumbled, his tone drier than the dead leaves crunching underneath their boots, echoing their own unspoken thoughts. He sighs, rubbing his forehead, "Alright. Where do we begin looking for this Temple?"

🤝 Does your OC have someone they want at their side when they are scared? Who?

🪤 What is one thing that could be used to lure your OC into a trap? :D

Thank you so much for the ask, @eccaiia!!! I'll go with some of the main cast of my main WIP Of Starlight and Beasts!

🤝 Does your OC have someone they want at their side when they are scared? Who?

Corah - As a knight-in-training Corah usually strives to be strong and reliable, with a tendency to hide her fears and insecurities in order to face a situation head-on. Because of this, she is usually the person other people go to when they're afraid. But if she had to choose someone to be at her side when she's scared it would definitely either be her dad, Lysander, or one of her best friends (I would say Arammys or Tomasa, but since Arammys does not handle his own fears and anxieties well himself, like, he's the kind of person that has the "if you cry I cry too" kind of panic in tense situations, Tomasa might be the best option for support and comfort on that regard)

Arammys - Nowadays, the person he trusts the most is Corah - she's the one who found and saved him when he was lost in the woods, and is the first true friend he made after losing his memories. He trusts her a lot - after all he does fall in love with her eventually, and would likely go to her in a heartbeat whenever he is scared, because knows that together they can face anything.

Eidan - He'd just bottle up his feelings and try to find a way out of the situation which has scared him as quickly as possible. He doesn't trust easily and has a lot of anxiety. In the past, the person he always had by his side when he was scared was his cousin, but now his cousin isn't around. Throughout the book, however, as he starts to open up his feelings towards others again, Eidan learns it's okay to rely on the support of others from time to time, especially if that person is Maryon (his girlfriend) or Kyran (his best friend).

Nimwen - Definitely her (adoptive) older brother Scarlet. He's the person whom she trusts the most in the world, and he raised her since she was a child. They have a very much "us against the world" dynamic, since that has been literally true for most of their lives so far, having the closest bond out of their little group of friends.

Tomasa - Any one of her friends, people whom she'd be honored to fight danger beside, whether for victory or defeat. She is fiercely loyal and values friendship bonds above all else. However, she would also go to one of her Grandmothers, if she was in the city, (mostly for comfort after the danger has passed) because deep down she knows that she will always be met with plates of warm food and open arms at their home, no matter the case.

🪤 What is one thing that could be used to lure your OC into a trap?

Ooh, interesting question (because that's literally one of the key plot points for one of this WIP's POVs, eeeeee)!!!

Corah - well-spun and factual promises of something that will help her achieve her goal of fulfilling her quest and becoming a knight. Another way a villain could lure her into a trap would be by toying with her own, mismanaged insecurities or threatening her moral compass. She can also be lured into a trap to save her friends or family.

Arammys - turning his own moral questions/dilemmas against him, by making him believe his powers will turn him into a monster if he doesn't do some specific thing (trap), empty promises of giving him his memories back and telling him who the familiar face in his flashbacks is (trap, trap, trap). Alternatively, if anyone threatens Corah specifically he will be liable to fall into any trap or scheme.

Masen - Offers of ungodly amounts of golden coins or valuable items, as well as fame and power (at least before his character growth in the series). He can also be easily manipulated by people who know of his family's search for revenge against the person who betrayed them.

Scarlet & Nimwen - Literally each other. If anyone threatens to hurt Nimwen, Scarlet will willingly walk into any trap - even if he knows that's the villain's intention. If anyone threatens Scarlet, Nimwen will become more emotionally unstable (due to her trauma, she doesn't deal well with losing people) and thus will likely fall into a trap without realizing it (alternatively, depending on the context, she can become the most calculating and ruthless person, extremely lucid, until she gets him to safety). There's no duo of unstable teens more self-sacrificing than these two in the whole book.

Rin - "He's not trapped here with you, you're trapped here with him". I'm telling you this man is a menace to society and he knows. He is far too clever and manipulative to be deceived that easily, and will likely get the person trying to do so trapped instead of him, twisting the game. Alternatively, since he is a little gremlin of chaos if in the right mood, he could also be persuaded right into a trap by a crunchy bag of crickets and a day-old Cheetos. Flip a coin.

Personality test, is 80f/26c too hot for you?

You know what? I believe that you can finish your writing project. I believe you can update your fic. I believe you can work on your WIP. I don't care if you think it's cringy or bad. I don't care if we've never met or interacted in our whole lives. I believe in you. Keep going - you've got this.

chasing that character that never follows the outline and ends up doing random shit that adds nothing to the plot for 5 extra chapters you hadn’t even planned
