(2) Protagonist(s). Who is(are) your main character(s)? Zayda Gallagher
(2b) Flaw(s). What is(are) the protagonist's major flaw(s)? She is a witch with the ability to feel emotions when she touches others (so she tends to keep her physical distance)
(2c) Goal(s). What does(d) the protagonist(s) want (or want to avoid)? She wants love and belonging.
(3) Conflict(s). What's keeping them from their goal(s)? Trace's family highly disapproves of her - his mother is afraid of her (believing her to have killed her husband) and his grandfather - a tyrant - Henry Newcombe does not want her 'worthless' blood mixed with his family.
(4) Antagonist(s). Who or what is creating the conflict(s)? Henry Newcombe is very prominent and powerful in the City - he threatens his grandson with being cut off - not being able to finish his studies or to take over his grandfather's legacy and company - "you need me more than I need you"
Trace's mother - distrusts Zayda until she is able to perform some action that wins her over - ie saving her life or the life of someone she loves - Trace or one of his siblings.
Just for fun: Write a provocative one-sentence description of your story.
Example: ""A young, mistreated orphan discovers he is a wizard and must face the evil villain Voldemort to fulfill his destiny.""
