Well hello my lovelies, I hope you are having a GREAT day! I'm feeling really positive for some reason, which is kinda weird since I'm super tired and kinda overwhelmed?
Oh well
Gotta take these moments as they come!
ANYWAYS
I'm going to be doing the Language of Worlds Linkup for two of my characters from The Scroll of Wisdom.
I know in my wrap-up post I listed some posts that were going to happen this month, I don't think that all of those are gonna make it, as I kinda want to make this month more about writing and The Scroll of Wisdom as Nano is coming up.
Now that I've got that off my chest, let's go!
Prince Kile of Ilia Scriptura
What Kile fears the most is not being noticed. As a child, when it was most necessary that his parents love him and nurture him, he was often ignored or told that his brother (as heir to the throne) was more important. That's why he does reckless things (at least in the beginning). He wants his parents' attention, even if it's negative attention.
2. How would they handle it if they were to face their fear?
Well, he has. Like I said earlier, Kile was bypassed as a child in favor of his older brother. But he has gained it again (somewhat) by doing things he knows his parents disapprove of. But if he were ignored again, Kile would just keep doing worse and worse things, still trying to get someone's attention.
3. Do they want to get married? Why or why not?
He does! Kile knows that in a marriage, each spouse has to pay attention to the other. But Kile is also very protective of women ('specially when it comes to one little pumpkin) when he sees that they are in trouble. One thing his parents did instill in him is the knowledge that women should be cherished, protected, and valued. He also wants someone to love him for who he is and love that person back.
4. What is their love language (i.e. words of affirmation, physical touch, gifts, quality time, acts of service)?
Well, if you couldn't tell from above, Kile needs people to TELL him that they love him. So words of affirmation is his love language.
5. On a scale from 1 (messy) to 5 (organized), how do they rate?
I'm going to have to say a 2 :P He is not the most organized of people.
6. How do they feel about debates/disagreements?
Kile gets kinda uneasy when in a debate or disagreement. That's because he usually feels like he's too stupid to convince the other person (which is not true). So he just gets angry and stalks off.
7. What do they bring to a battle (figurative or literal)?
The desire to find out who is in the wrong/right. Even if he is in the wrong. Towards the end of the book, when stuff happens, Kile starts to wonder if he is on the right side, and if the rebels really have a good reason to, you know, rebel.
8. What's their favorite thing to eat for breakfast?
Kile loves to eat any type of fruit. Normally his breakfast just consists of fruit and he'll have a heavier meal at noon.
9. How do they treat themself after a long day?
If he isn't going out, you can find Kile with a book. Not many people know that, but Kile enjoys pleasure reading.
10. What do you most want readers to glean from this story?
What I want people to take away from Kile's story is that not everyone is how they appear on the outside. To many people, Kile is a disgrace to the House of Rowan and Ilia Scriptura. But to the precious few that actually know him (which, now that I think of it, is basically no one), they know that all he really wants is his parents' attention and to be valued.
Princess Zoe of Ilia Couragis
1. What does your character fear the most?
That someone will hurt someone she loves. Or that she'll fail her people. Zoe has a lot of drive and passion that she hides behind a simple smile. If you get on her bad side, oof, I would not want to be in your shoes.
2. How would they handle it if they were to face their fear?
I think that Zoe would at first break down and have a good cry, and then get up, dust herself off, and get down to thinking how to protect her family and do her people good.
3. Do they want to get married? Why or why not?
She does. Zoe loves loving people (if that makes sense). And she loves being loved.
4. What is their love language (i.e. words of affirmation, physical touch, gifts, quality time, acts of service)?
I think it would be words of affirmation. She is (sometimes) very vocal about her love for people.
5. On a scale from 1 (messy) to 5 (organized), how do they rate?
A 5. She can't stand for anything to be out of its place and it drives Zelia (her twin) crazy when she goes on a cleaning spree.
6. How do they feel about debates/disagreements?
Zoe loves debating and arguing. She is very confident in her abilities to persuade people and she almost never loses.
7. What do they bring to a battle (figurative or literal)?
Zoe brings a heart to do what is right. If it benefits other people and if she is truly wrong, then she will admit that she was wrong. She also has a really fierce spirit and will fight to the end.
8. What's their favorite thing to eat for breakfast?
She loves eating bread for breakfast. Fresh bread that is still hot inside and that melts butter because it just came out of the oven (and now I'm hungry....)
9. How do they treat themself after a long day?
She plays the harp for hours. Sometimes with Zelia playing the flute, or sometimes just by herself.
10. What do you most want readers to glean from this story?
That you can make a difference. I can't say much more because of spoilers, but yeah, you can make a difference in the course of history.
Well, I hope you enjoyed learning about my characters! Are you ready to learn more? How is your Nano prep coming along? Are you doing Nano?
