@scripter-of-kingdoms Oh please do!!! I’m very curious!:D
@writerlexi1216 Lol I feel you on the whole Pinterest thing–I do that quite often XD Hey, I’m sure Fortitude is going to be amazing! With where you’re at for NaNo, it pretty normal to “hate” your WIP in some form or fashion. (The hate never stays for long, mind you, but NaNo is no small feat.) There’s a lot more good stuff in there than you think, I’m certain of that. 😀Oooh that’s a neat contrast!! I’m looking forward to meeting her (as well as getting better acquainted with Caira)!
“Seven seconds till the end. Time enough for you. Perhaps. But what will you do with it?”
Oh, wow, I didn’t know you had a Pinterest!! *high-fives* Yes, it’s such a lovely way to put your characters into visuals, and it helps give you lots of inspiration. Aw, thank you so much! Goodness, that means the world to me, because honestly I’ve been curious whether or not it’s even salvageable or if I should delay writing it for another year. But thank you so incredibly much! 🙂
Yes, I 100% agree–I think I’ve gotten a little ‘burned out’ with the story due to NaNo, so focusing on this new novel has definitely helped me fall in love with writing again. Wow, thank you!! That honestly means so much to me!! 😀 Hehe, thank you–I’m not overdoing the ‘toughness’ by no means, but I thought it would be interesting to have more of a headstrong heroine. Aw, thank you!! Caira is looking forward to sharing her story with you too!! 😀
@lewilliams Hahaha, do you want a legit essay or a few details? XDD

i'll make the winter now my home@writerlexi1216 Ehehe yah, I revisited it to find graduation cap ideas this week XD But it’s definitely been helpful in the past for character things! Also, man, NaNo burnout is real and intense. You’ll fall back in love with Fortitude, I assure you–in the meantime, I’m glad you have this new story to help with the fatigue! (And I expect updates. Seriously. I need to know m o r e Lexi)
@scripter-of-kingdoms Go for the essay!!! Make it a thesis if you need to–that’s the only proper way to talk about characters. 😀“Seven seconds till the end. Time enough for you. Perhaps. But what will you do with it?”
Ooh, that’s neat!! I do wish you the very best of luck with graduation–I’m sure it’s going to be lovely (and relieving) for you!! Ah, yes, unfortunately that’s the aftereffects of NaNo, but I think I’m going to use this month to outline everything I’ve written/the ending, so hopefully that will help me keep from burning out. Aww, thank you!!! I’m honestly so ecstatic that you like this new novel idea!! I’m trying my hand at creating some collages, so hopefully I can post those soon!! 😀 D 😀 I may even write the new novel during July NaNo… Who knows? 🙂
@lewilliams Oh, boy. This will actually be really fun for me, I love typing out looooong characterizations XD So we’ll begin with the character’s appearance/outfit tendencies, and then his personality, and then the things he does in the story.
Picture a tall (I mean really tall, he’s 6’1″) South Korean boy named Seo-jun Yeong (or, in e. asian countries, Yeong Seo-jun). He’s nineteen years old. He has messy black hair with middle-parted bangs and dark brown eyes, like dark chocolate. Oh, and an earring in his left ear. Maybe right now – let’s see what he’s wearing – he’s wearing an oversized grey Twenty One Pilots sweater, it’s Saturday, he don’t gotta look too intimidating. (He can’t understand much English but listens to their music ((and can rap the whole part in Ride, maybe that’s ’cause I can too XDD)) because it’s the best. Fight me.) In addition to said sweater, he’s wearing dark-wash jeans and black (but checkers running down the sides) Vans.
He likes wearing big sweaters at home, but when he has a work-day it’s usually a black denim jacket (with spikes 😎👌), black jeans, or something more intimidating like that. He likes black, navy blue, and white colour-wise. He kind of follows Korean fashion trends but is more of his own style than anything else. Comfortably edgy, he might call it.
((Yes, I plan these details out way too much.))
His personality is one that’s actually SO fun to write and is also hence the reason I fangirl so hard over him, so here we go.
He’s a jerk, a total jerk. Pfft, he even does that weird-jerky-lip-bite thing all the time. He’s always poking fun at Kadotake and is just arrogant in general. (For example, in one of their first scenes together he not-so-gently implies that she should use the suffix on his name meaning ‘lord’.) He’s constantly annoying her, which somehow makes their dynamic work as Kadotake either yells at him or smacks him upside the head XD But, as time goes on, he stops being such an idiot towards Kadotake and, you know, kinda, uh, compliments her sometimes. ‘Cause… she looks nice. Right? Eventually he’s pretty sweet on her and way less arrogant and annoying (but there’s minimal sweetness back excepting one or two instances haha).
The things Yeong does… ah, he and Kadotake get assigned on pretty much all their missions together because their boss is like “my two best criminals better learn to get along”. So they spend a lot of time together that way. I haven’t actually plotted out too much of the book’s happenings yet, but they pull off some pretty good stuff, I can tell you. In one part kinda in the middle, though, he takes Kadotake to Seoul on a weekend. They have a run-in with a couple idiots Yeong knows from when he used to live there, and they make fun of our dear Kadotake’s half Canadian heritage!! (she has blonde curly hair. Also, how dare they.) He tells ’em all off in Korean, gives them all a good verbal assault XD but then the two boys there (there’s also one girl there but who cares about her) get into a fight with him over the things he says. So he beats them up, one of the guys tries to drag Kadotake away but simply earns himself a slap across the face from Kado-san and a beating from Yeong. XD They finally make it out of there and he’s all like to Kadotake “are you okay? did any of them hurt you?” not even caring about all the things that just happened to himself. ♡
There’s another scene where she’s over at his apartment, they’re sitting out on the balcony, just watching the stars. Yeong had given her his sweater to wear since she was cold, and they just sit out there, kinda cuddling together but kinda not ❣ XD
**SPOILERS HERE** Stop reading this part if you don’t want big spoilers. XD
All right, proceeding with spoilerinos now. (thank you @writerlexi1216 for teaching me this phrase! XD)
Sooo, near the end, someone tries to shoot Kadotake. (HOW DARE THEY?!?!?!?) Yeong actually sees this happen and dives off his balcony to get her out of the way. In short: he saves her, but he ends up taking the bullet for her and dies. 😭 Just before this happens, he begs Kadotake to kiss him so he can die happy. Now, ordinarily, she’d smack him for such a request.
But she does it, because he’s her best friend (and, if she really, really, REALLY brought herself to admit it, love interest. But that’s waaaaaaay deep down, okay?).
❤️
Anyways, er, yeah, that’s Seo-jun Yeong for you. If there are any random details you want to know (idk, fave food, random things like that lolol) just ask! 😀
Wow, this was a really long post.

Um, I know we were chatting a while back about my new WIP and I didn’t know if you’d be interested to see a collage I made for the MC 🙂 You totally inspired me with that other one you did, so I thought I’d tag you!! 😀 😀
@scripter-of-kingdoms I’m so sorry it’s taken me this long to reply!!! I’ve been busy graduating and all that jazz. But eeEEEE I love Yeong now!!! Wow, I have such a vivid picture of him in my head, plus I’m definitely stealing the phrase “comfortably edgy.” (It’s such a nice one, you see:P) And ahhhh, I was busy shipping him and Kadotake when I read the spoiler and mY HEART ; – ; I would yell at you not to follow through with such an ending but…it is painfully beautiful. *sniff*
Thank you so much for typing that out!!! I really enjoyed getting to meet your charrie:D Is he your fav? Because I could definitely see it:D As for further questions, hmm–what is his favorite food? What other kinds of music does he like? (Besides TOP I mean)
“Seven seconds till the end. Time enough for you. Perhaps. But what will you do with it?”
@writerlexi1216 LEXI!!!!! Oh my goodness!!! My eyes have been blessed oh my word–
*cough* I don’t know how you’ve done it, but you’ve made me love Felicity already. Like, can I steal her? Please? Her and Caira just need to come and hang out with my charries already–they’d all be BFFs. (Or hate each other. Who knows XD)
Also, on a purely aesthetic level, I love your collage!!! Seriously, it’s so lovely–I feel like you’ve captured this character’s essence so perfectly. Plus it just looks pretty.:D
(Also, this is totally random, but I 1) love your forum signature; it’s such a good line! And 2) cannot read your forum signature without pronouncing “knight” the way it probably was pronounced in the 1300s (which would be something like kah-nick-ta). Random, but I thought you might find it amusing. :D)
“Seven seconds till the end. Time enough for you. Perhaps. But what will you do with it?”
Awww, YAY, THANK YOU so incredibly much!!! *infinite !’s* Wow, I’m positively ecstatic that you adore it so much and that you feel connected to Felicity already (honestly, she’s very much inspired by Korra from Avatar, hence why I used a picture of Korra in her collage)!! *sighs of relief* And yes, you absolutely can borrow her for a while 😉 And oh my word, I grinned about a mile long when I thought about our beloved charries meeting each other… That’s terrifying and yet amazing at the same time XD Hmm, who would be BFFs, I wonder…? Aw, thank you!!! I’m just over the moon that you think it’s so lovely!! That warms my heart to hear!! *gasps* Seriously? THANK YOU!! I enjoy creating quotes for charries 🙂 Oh my word, honestly?? XD That’s actually so interesting and I love that pronunciation!! That’s incredibly amusing!! 😀 😀 😀 😀
@writerlexi1216 Of course!!! Ah, I can definitely see it–from what I know of Korra, I can see how they would be similar. Ehehehe, thanks! *steals Felicity and all the rest of your characters and runs cackling away into the sunset* Yes, same!! I guess that’s a sign that our characters need to meet, then>;D Hmm…I feel like Tin and Caira would get along really well. Also, it might be random, but I think Horace might perhaps get along the best with Felicity. He’d at the very least give her adequate courtesy and respect (which I sense might perhaps be important to her? Correct me if I’m wrong:P) . Haha, yeah, Middle English pronunciation is great:D My teacher told us to hiss like a cat when we read the word “knight,” so it’s just kind of inherently fun, you know?
“Seven seconds till the end. Time enough for you. Perhaps. But what will you do with it?”
Yup, from the little that I’ve seen of Korra, I thought it fit her well to have that aesthetic 😀 I’m just so ecstatic that you like it!! And *grins* I’m sure they’d ADORE to meet your characters, and *gasps* YES, they 100% positively need to meet!! <:) Oh, yes, I do feel like Tin and Caira would be good friends. Oh my word, YES, I think Horace and Felicity would get along lovely together!! And absolutely–Felicity thinks courtesy and respect is very important, especially since she’s a knight:) I wonder who would get along the worst…? I don’t think Caira and Arvi would get along, honestly XD Oh, absolutely–Middle English is so lovely and definitely great:P Wait, they told you to hiss like a cat??? That sounds amusing and is partly convincing me to learn it now:D
@lewilliams It’s fine, haha! XD uGh yEs hE’s a bEaUtIfuL bOy ;w; HAHAHA yes comfortably edgy is funfun XD
LOLOL i’m sorry but it had to happen ;-; oh goodness i’m gonna miss that arrogant jerkface- *sniffles*
Ahaha, no problem! I loved writing it out 😀 Haha, he might be 😉 Wellll… fave food… probably rice and kimchi (traditional Korean style!). NOT bagels, though. He does like coffee, but doesn’t detox well from alcohol so doesn’t drink it. XD I know that’s not really food per se, but fun detail.
First of all, he does not like K-pop or BTS whatsoever. Not happening. No. He does like some pop, but probably lofi or Korean rap. (There’s a difference between K-pop and rap.) Maybe stuff like AJR tho… kind of edgy music vibes, y’know? 😛
