Shutterclique, cont'd
As promised, I thought I'd mention another primary character in The Shutterclique series -- Anna Victor, aka, Victoriana.
Curiously, the majority of characters I've created for the series are characters I've had sketched out for almost 30 years (!!) I'd abortively tried to put them into stories, but they didn't quite click. I have a lot of story fragments over the years.
However, this year, for whatever reason, I finally was able to get a concept together that worked for them, and away I flew.
Anna was one of the new characters I created for the series, and she immediately made the series stronger (ehh, pun intended) by her presence.
She embodies a very classically superheroic idealism and do-gooder desire. She's incredibly strong & invulnerable, can fly, and relishes scrapping with villains.
Victoriana is a fun character for me, because she's so sincere in her ambitions, and she's so powerful, which makes her a great contrast for Mitch (Cameraman), who has no powers. The two of them make a great team -- her passionately idealistic sense of justice plays well with Mitch's world-weary cynicism.
Anyway, the interplay of those characters absolutely drove my process in writing the series.
Victoriana has a Wonder Woman vibe to me, without the Greco-Roman stuffiness that character has. Victoriana is an ass-kicker, but she's no Amazonian princess or Mary Sue.
I hope readers can appreciate Anna, because she's one of my favorite characters I've created over the years.
