Time to reveal some backstory for my favorite OC!
Veldandi’s 1st love was Palmer, an Aerivolk who swept her off her feet when they were 15. He even hinted at marriage.
Sadly, a cutting betrayal ended things. She eventually encounters him again after Osvald begins courting her.

It has but not quite sure how. Yet. I'm a discovery writer, so as I write these characters, I discover them. Or they tell me who they are.

You know, I'm kind of afraid of making decisions like this for these characters.
Both Chana and Mathias are older and are pretty far away from their first loves.
She's intense, even at a young age and would have burned through that first person or persons.
Mathias is more quiet and focused.

It's February, so let's talk about romance just a bit!
Who was your character's first love?
Was it a positive relationship for them or less so?
How did it end (if at all), and how did that affect them?

Grisira looks back on her first love fondly. It was 32 years ago (when she was 20), with a young woman who had originally been pining after Grisira's older brother. Grisira's charm and passion won her over, and they were together for about eight months. (1/2)

Let's talk fighting styles!
How does your character fight? Do they wield weapons? Magic? Are they a brawler? Or do they have a more sophisticated fighting style?
Or are they a pacifist who would never fight?

Falsely or not, Cat N. Kinnery handles most accusations the same--enjoy the attention until she gets tired of it, then disappear.
Melody Fayth has never been accused of anything, falsely or not. Yet.

I meant to answer my own question on this one and forgot!
How to get into a myslemir: Normal people cannot and never do.
Certain Mind elemental abilities allow it, but it's usually a combination effect. So, no octant Godbloods, only half and quarters who got lucky.

#FebruaryWorldbuilders If you have nonphysical realms in your setting, how can they be accessed? Can characters go there or somehow 'see' inside it? Does something else live there and come out when summoned?

If you currently have Ring, disable it, uninstall it. Don't support this regime's quest to kidnap and assault everyone who doesn't look white enough or objects to the fascism. If you must have a security cam, it's not difficult to set up your own closed-circuit system that no one else can access.
NEW: Ring has introduced "Search Party", a horrifyingly dystopian feature nominally designed to turn all of the Ring cameras in a neighborhood into a dragnet that uses AI to look for, in their commercial, a cute lost dog.
With Ring, US consumers are actually building a surveillance dragnet.

Nothing in the Rose book. Chana flirts, has a few trysts, but nothing serious. Mathias doesn't have time for anything that's not about getting Rose to the border. And he has to be careful in the Human Realm.

Lovely profile of a fantastic filmmaker, alongside everything else.
Cannot believe that I got to profile an extraordinary filmmaker, who happens to be the mother of NYC’s new mayor, and think about intersections of art and politics, and how familial love might produce a buffer against the corrosive politics and cynicism of our time. My story about Mira Nair:

Suspicion by Seicho Matsumoto and Translated by Jesse Kirkwood
Kumako Onizuka is sure to be convicted of murdering her husband, everyone from the police to the entire population of her town knows she did it because journalist Moichi Akitani told them she did. He spent days tracking down every bit of dirt on her he could find and once he was sure that all of this pointed to the damning conclusion that Onizuka was guilty he published it.
