Author Thoughts
Mia was initially created as even more of a people pleaser, if you can believe it. She was made as an otome character with four choices for her soulmate, but as I widdled off the other options (even deleting one completely) I ended up finding the depth within her.She's also the biggest reflection of myself out of all the characters, but in a wishful way, inheriting many flaws but living as someone I could never be. Of course, that's common for many authors' first official main characters. I swear I'm better at making decisions though (haha)Overall, she's my darling, so much so that that's her nickname in many side stories.
As for Robin, where do I even begin...Her attitude was based off one of my old best friends, but that's about where it ends. In my first couple versions, I think I had a hard time fully pinning her down, especially her attitude towards love. It took a lot of personal growth and experience to capture that aspect of her, which I think was well worth it.I think it's so funny how mad she is at Chris all the time for stuff she knows wasn't reflective of his entire life, but she's the type of person that always needs one person or topic to get mad about at the drop of a hat, otherwise she'd be bored and restless.
Ty! In the first versions, he was into Mia, but I was like 'ughhh I can't make them have correct chemistry' and decided why not give into the trope of the two besties ending up together? But I really think it works with his and Robin's lifestyles and different concepts of love. It's something satisfying to both of them.His family situation drove him to writing music, which he and Mia bonded over in high school. He also met and formed his band in high school but they hang out socially far less than he does with Mia and Robin.He explores gender expression with his band outfits. In the future, he'll go by they/them and will be fiercely supported.
My favourite, Christopher: there's so much I could say about him. He's even got an elaborate backstory. I couldn't stop it.Some things I decided to edit out is that he is constantly nervous in his own head. For instance, had it been anyone other than Mia that was about to get hit by a car, he would've warned them before they even left the sidewalk. He just got too nervous and scared to say anything!! Thankfully his judo reflexes managed to save both of them.At a point, Mia is reminded of him by the white lions but he would actually be a deer, and he said so himself, in but in a joke about dancing. My polite, timid boy.
Alex! Sweet boy Alex! Despite the end decision, I do love him a lot.Sorry if this makes some Mia/Alex shippers scream in frustration but: I initially went into writing this book without knowing who Mia would choose in the end! I wanted to write authentically and capture her feeling of pros and cons and figuring things out, to find what was the best dynamic even if both were good.Some of that feeling might have been lost in the rewrites, but in the end, there's someone else in the story that's even better for him! Well, as long as they can get past Elena's disdain for pretty much anyone outside the family.
