Setting - Map - Making of New Pangaea - Kingdom of Biston - Magics Heroine After charting Biston's features, I dreamt of Eleanor as a fairytale princess whose prince never came to rescue her. I'm not a fan of fairytale princesses, but I love Eleanor's realization that there are no knights in shining armor. She has to rely on herself to break free. Eleanor's very much like a clipped bird, handicapped by the people who supposedly love her. If not for her idolization of a woman who overcame much more, Eleanor would have given up after the first failed escape attempt. Each failure shrinks her prison, but impossible hope pushes Eleanor to try again. In the dream she tortured her prince at the end, but that wouldn't work for an erotic romance. Hero King Erick Duran is based on the Five of Cups tarot card. He sees only what he's lost, not what remains. In the dream, his hatred of his mother kept him from valuing women. That trait probably came from my fear of boyfriends' mothers. (They all hated me.) Villain Everyone has played the villain at some point, usually unintentionally. One person's villain is another's hero. Erick's villains - his mother and Gildon's queen are Eleanor's heroes. I don't believe in pure evil. Even the worst villains had soft spots.
