Characters

I have been asked a lot about how I came up with The wrath of Raghnall. It is no secret that I have struggled with my mental health, I try to be open about my struggles with the illness. The truth is I developed my characters first and the story followed. My characters range in personality and can handle a certain situation with a vast array of emotions. I used my own experiences and the experiences of those closest to me to help write these characters. The strongest characters can crumble in hard times, while those you think of as weak can turn fierce. Everyone reacts to certain situations differently and those reactions can be drastically influenced by how mentally strong they are in that situation. I think that using my own experience I was able to make a fictional character more relatable to the reader and let the reader empathise with them. Personally I find the more relatable I find a character the more I enjoy reading about their journey.
