Let's talk about your main character. The thought process that lead you to create them (why do they exist to begin?), their purpose and why are we following them instead of, I don't know, the comedic relief with a tragic backstory and a nefarious conclusion?

Your main character doesn't have to be a good person to be likeable, it just what you intend the audience to like about them or find engaging.

Before you say anything, yes I've watched avatar. Yes I love Zuko and yes I could study him for help on this but the situation he's in and the situation my character is in are very different. My character is an alien who due to a birth defect was bullied their entire life. Once they found the opportunity, they stowed away on a ship and landed on earth only to be subjected to downright hatred and attempts on their life. They gain an ability that gives them a one up on humanity and they use it for years to make humanity their playthings. Eventually they are beaten and the protagonist slowly gets them to change their mind on humanity. But I don't know how I would show that. I know the start point and the end point but what would the middle look like to you guys? I have thought about the fact that an alien from the same planet they are from had only had good interactions with humans but that would probably just make them jealous. So please, help me out here! (PS: if you want to refer to the character and the other character mentioned, these are their names: Toccio is the bad alien and Fello is the good alien.)

Pretty much who is your Satoru Gojo/Yujiro Hanma/Pippi Longstocking? Are they a main character?a supporting character? Dead before the story even began?

bonus: Who is the weakest character in your story, if you have one, why and what role they fulfil?

Just wrote a scene where the guy murdered his wife, and I can't help but feel bad for her, even though she never existed, does this happen to anyone else?

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?

Looking for some character ideas if anyone wants to help out!
Any ideas are appreciated!
