Characters



I am in love with Cerys, she is amazing. She has been a character who has grown with me, she was with me during the worst times and she and I grew together. Reading back when I first began I see how much she changed over the book and how much she struggled. As someone who is often very sensitive about herself, it gives me confidence to see how wonderful she is and how there is no one else like her. When she first began she was so young she was like a child then she became a woman, a Queen. She struggled to find her voice just as I have struggled. She still has her problems and is still shy and wary of others but it is not a bad thing. She is unlike any other heroine I have read. I hope that this is a good thing.



Whereas Cerys is quite young and unsure of herself, the character of my next book, as soon as I finish my current novel will be much older. She will be very sure of herself. I have chosen the name Angelique for her and she is the opposite of Cerys, whereas Cerys was quiet, Angelique is loud. Whereas Cerys was demure, Angelique speaks her mind. Angelique is the supporter of the main character Rana, in fact she is his only support. She watches over him throughout the book and does all she can for him. However in one part of the book she will come into conflict with Rana, Angelique may be strong but in this scene she will be vulnerable. Angelique is an angry character and feels very strongly. But in this scene she will denounce love in all it's forms. She wishes to be independent and fears the idea of someone else being "half" of her, she never wants to be like those women. I think I will enjoy finding out about Angelique as I write her.
