5. By age, who is your youngest
character? Oldest? How about ”youngest” and ”oldest” in terms
of when you created them?
I have a few characters I've written
about before they were born so one of them has to be the youngest but
I'm not sure how to decide that. So, meet one of them, Lila.
She's the one on the left. I don't
want to say much about her since I have high hopes she'll end up
between covers some day. But let's just say she's a strong mage with
peculiar magic and a spicy personality.
The oldest one is just as hard to know,
since I have a few characters who've lived multiple lives (and there
could be more of them than just the ones they remember).
If I count together the known lives,
then my oldest character is Deimos from Four Colours, I
guess. I don't know his age precisely but it's somewhere between
450-530 years.
If I'm only allowed to count the age
achived during one life then the oldest is Nene, a half giant
I wrote a short story about. She's 423 by the end of the story.
My newest character then, would be Ia.
I know next to nothing about her, except that she's the neighbour of
my newest protagonist Jaro, and I have a vague idea about her role in
the story but I haven't actually even mentioned her in it yet. I
think she'll show me more soon, though.
And it's impossible to know who was
actually my first character, so I'll go with the oldest that I still
write about. And, they're actually all the Four Colours, since
they were created at the same time.
