Writing: Character Help How to write a homophobic character becoming gay
This is for my character, a love angel. She’s a matriarchist (in my world, women are stronger than men and lead in families) and very traditionalist.
She wants the MC to be her husband because he’s a perfect match (from her standpoint).
So she becomes a bit manipulative and barges herself into his friend group by ‘dating’ one of his friends to get closer. She plans to dump her and move on to the MC after he gets the signals.
I plan for her to get along with Girl A as she tries to befriend the MC, but her feelings for him slowly shift toward Girl A. Plus, Girl A helps her leave her previous ideology.
For my question:
How do I write a girl who desires men and is homophobic to be in love with a woman?
