"Indian giver! No...not you. I was insulting a whole other group of Indians."
Wherein Jack wishes writers would stop being mean to brothers
I finally saw Pacific Rim the other day. I think I will review it, I just don't know when, so don't hold your breath or you will die. It was pretty good, better than I thought it would be, but I am so tired of reading and watching things were a brother either dies or turns bad. I sat through the first part of the movie - this isn't a spoiler because it is in the first five minutes or so and is the whole plot of the movie, so there! - going, "Don't kill the brother. Don't kill the brother. Just this once, let both brothers live. Don't kill him. Don't kill him. Don't kill him. Don't. Kill. Him. DON'T KILL HIM....you killed him."
Okay, so anyways, that said I will carry on. (That is my attempt at sneaking in a geeky reference without making it obvious, and this is me making it more obvious.)
Today I am going to introduce one of the girl characters who will be appearing in my NaNo book. I'm kind of nervous about writing with her, because I've had the hardest time since she first appeared. She is always either too whinny or too "I can do everything by myself! Leave me alone!" I'm hoping I finally found a balance since she is kind of important and I can't just shove her under my bed and forget about her - like I did with Peter's sister. (She was shoved in the closet. I only shove characters I don't like under my bed with the monsters.)
Cadwyn. (More commonly called Gwyn.) 17. Wild, curly red hair. (Think the girl from Brave and you pretty much have it.) Green eyes. (Yes, again. It is the hair and eye colour in Hemlock.) Short, slightly plump, and a lopsided smile. Gwyn is an orphan who was adopted by a man she and everyone in the village call Uncle. He's a craggy old man who is missing an eye and refuses to wear an eye-patch. Gwyn is the only one who can almost make him smile. (He's a good father to her and she loves him to pieces.) Neither of them know who her real parents were but are pretty sure Ulrich killed them or was responsible for their deaths. Gwyn is quiet. She doesn't like to talk much but she does love being around her friends - Maddock, his brothers, and Theobald. She likes baking but what she dreams of doing is writing. Only a few people know about this, Maddock being one of them. She has a kind of weird sense of humor and has the kind of giggle that makes other people laugh as well. She is an apprentice to Maddock's mother, who grows herbs and sends them to the castle. Gwyn likes herbs but what she really likes about it is digging in the dirt. She loves being outside and the moment most of the snow has melted she ditches her shoes. She likes to help Maddock with his sheepies, going with him and his brothers as often as she can. Gwyn's best friend, next to Maddock, is his adopted sister Adalee. Even though they are as different as anyone can get they get along as if they are sisters.
I was going to add something to that but it is late and I'm starting to fall asleep and therefore cannot remember what it was. So I won't bother. Instead, I will just go to bed.

Allons-y!
