THE 5 PART WRITING SPECIAL | part 4: supporting characters
^^Andres's aesthetic
Andres’s family is a family of eight, counting his parents, his grandmother, his four siblings: (Makayla, fourteen years. Coleen, nine years. Jacquie, nine years as well since her and Coleen are twins. And May, six years). and himself.
Andres and his siblings are homeschooled by their grandmother, and Andre works at his grandmother’s store.
Andre meets Alex after stopping a group of bullies who are beating him up. Andres is nineteen and he becomes like an older brother to Alex.
Provide snippets from your WIP for each side character (can include the villain).
I only have two at the moment:
Andres snorts, “Watch out, Alex, she’s sweet right now, but it’s all a trick.”
The girl sticks her tongue out at Andres, “Am not!”
Andres sticks out his tongue right back, “You’re evil, May. The empress of evil."
May sniffs, "I prefer The Most Amazing Queen and Sister, thank you very much."Andres sticks out his tongue right back, “You’re evil, May. The empress of evil."
Austen takes his foot off my face as a side door creaks open.
“Can you jerks get lost?” A boy stands in the doorway, holding something over his shoulder. His expression is lost in the shadows, but his tone sounds annoyed.
I hold my breath, waiting for one of the group’s response.
Ethan scoffs, “Go back to your demented grandma you-”
I grimace at the racial slurs that tumble out of Ethan’s mouth.
There is silence, and then the boy steps out into the alleyway, looming over Ethan, Gordan, and Austen.
Which of your side characters is closest to the MC?
Andres.
How do the good guys work together as a team?
Yes, Andres’s family is his support group, and they start to become Alex’s as well.
Alex is more of a quitter, he lets life get him down, but Andres believes in hard work and taking risks despite the odds.
Life + Stupid humans.
Why is your villain bad?
It brings harsh reality crashing down.
Is the villain an “I work alone” sort of person, or the kind who has a ton of minions?
How does your villain walk and talk?
*coughs*
What are the villain’s main mannerisms that define him/her?
*shrugs*
Happy Writing,
I grimace at the racial slurs that tumble out of Ethan’s mouth.
There is silence, and then the boy steps out into the alleyway, looming over Ethan, Gordan, and Austen.
He’s older than I realized, looking more college age than high school age. One hand is curled into a fist, the other is armed with what looks like a sack of potatoes. The scowl growing across his dark face is terrifying.
He takes a step closer to Ethan, glaring down at him. “Do you want to see the bloodstains from the last person that called me or my grandmother that?” he asks, his voice strangely calm despite the furious expression on his face.Which of your side characters is closest to the MC?
