@kate-flournoy, Ah yes, I see now. I would agree, but what you were calling a reason, I was thinking of as a justification – as something which tipped the scales that were already leaning that way.
@gretald I tend to think in the epic ?

Do you have Pinterest @gretald? When planning characters, it helps me to find pictures of them. I can’t always do this, but most of the time I can find one. And, strange as it may sound, the picture (as well as the name) quite often helps me in developing the character…it suggests all sorts of possibilities about if the character is serious, funny, intense, etc. Of course, I do quite a bit more than that while developing characters. I’ve several pages of questions I like to fill out about them before beginning the writing process. But pictures are my favorite place to start.
INTJ - Inhumane. No-feelings. Terrible. Judgment and doom on everyone.
@Hope, I don’t have a Pinterest, but I could use Google images. Thanks for the ideas! 🙂
Hey, I had an idea as far as contradictions. If she’s banished and rejected by everyone, what if she’s a really big people person and cares a lot what people think of her? I think that might be interesting…
Ooo, I like that idea! @writefury
