Hey look it’s why I learned to draw! Aulo has short silver hair, a lil wavy. She’ll tell you she just lets it do its own thing, but the truth is she uses her magic to style it to be just the right balance between chaotic and cute. #writesky #writingcommunity #awesomecharacters

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
Here's an appearance one that I don't think we've talked about yet: What does your character's hair look like?
Do they have hair? Long or short? What color? How do they usually wear it? Is it important to them?

Aulo is a bard! In Canticle, bards are important because the very first bard liberated the continent from the tyrannical rule of divine beings. That bard went on to train others how to wield the power of music, and Aulo is a part of that lineage.
#NovemberWorldbuilders Let's talk about how the world's history directly impacts your main character (or some other important character in the world you're developing). Do they have an important ancestor? Was there a specific event, say a war or diaspora, that impacted their current life?

Two things that will never fail to motivate Aulo:
1. A good time. She’s a bard! Promise her some good booze and a warm tavern and lively company and that’ll be enough motivation for just about anything
2. Her wife! She’s head over heels for Ori. If it’ll help Ori out, Aulo’s there in a heartbeat

What tempts your character?
If you had to convince them to do something they didn't really want to do, like getting a dog to take a bath using cheese, what would you use?
Would it be cheese?

What a few weeks it’s been!! Travel for a work conference, then a concert, and ending with an ABSOLUTELY magical week at Bicolline’s Grande Bataille. Now a day of rest before getting back to the regular swing of things (and back to my writing schedule!)
