THE 5 PART WRITING SPECIAL | part 3: Main Character(s)

Introduce your Main Character(s):

-Piper Anson is a seventeen year old aspiring artist, she is a hopeless dreamer as well as hopelessly optimistic. Her passion in life is art, and she hopes to make the world a more colorful place and bring joy to people one day.

-Alex Anson is Piper’s fifteen-year-old brother, he loves music and singing, but he is too shy to sing in front of people, so he sings to himself whenever he’s alone. He doesn’t really know what he wants for his future, he just wants to make it through the day.

-Josh is a nineteen-year-old runaway and a rebel without a cause, he use to enjoy the party scene, and in his slurred words “livin’ it up”, but lately he’s given up, leaving his old life behind and hiding away in one of his friend’s apartments, trying to forget it all.  

How are the goals of the main character and the villain clashing?

Since this is general fiction, the only real villains are life events and the characters’ mistakes. There are a few side antagonists, such as Alex’s bullies, though.

What is your MC’s greatest strength and weakness?

-Piper is very motivated and full of joy, and she’s good at pulling other’s in and making them feel like a person again. But she’s also naïve to the point of a fault, she sometimes fails to understand reality.

-Alex is brave and kind, although he doesn’t realize how brave he is. His fault is the fact that his mind won’t let him win.
