That'll be my last post for tonight!
I probably won't be on at night as much because I have so much going on with my friends. We already have Mon, Wed, and Thurs nights booked up this week, and there will probably be more as we make new plans ^^;
I might be able to get one post done before bed after our events, but I honestly can't say for sure
It's looking like I'll have the most free time during the late mornings and mid afternoons now
The busy life of the extrovert xD
Also, I just had another idea for after the time skip, and I wanted to run it by you. So basically, I was planning to reveal later in the IC that Crow's father has a family of his own: a noble wife, one son, and two daughters. The kids would, of course, all be Crow's half-siblings, which will be kind of mind blowing to him because he never knew they existed. I already have personalities worked out for them too:
-The son is Albin's oldest (not including Crow), so when his father ascends the throne, he's the first in line to take over as the next king. He's strong-willed and prideful (pretty much embodies all of the qualities Crow hates in nobles). When he meets Crow later in the story, he looks down on him as a worthless bastard with no place in the family. His disgust is genuine in part, but it also stems from a secret fear that Crow will take his place in line for the throne since he's Albin's true eldest.
-The oldest daughter is also strong-willed, but her stubbornness manifests itself in the form of rebellion. She's the most similar in personality to Crow, with a sharp wit and a lack of regard for anyone else's opinion of her. Even when Albin becomes the king, she doesn't care about how she comes off as a princess and refuses to go along with all of the rules for being a 'proper lady.' She's also the only one of the three siblings who gets along with Crow.
-The youngest daughter is the opposite of her older siblings. She's quiet and respectful and doesn't try to break the rules, basically the poster child for the perfect noblewoman. When she's introduced, she'll only be sixteen, but she already has suitors lined up for when she comes of age, because of her docile personality and beautiful face. I'm not sure yet how she and Crow will get along, but I think she'll initially be wary of him, because he's so different from the noblemen she's comfortable around.
Basically, as I was thinking about their characters today, I realized that the oldest daughter is really similar to the lieutenant character you described that Penelope befriends, and I was thinking it could be cool if they're the same person :D
It would be a fun surprise if Penelope doesn't realize she's Crow's half-sister until later on too.
What do you think though?
