the language of worlds

Hey y'all! Today I'm going to do The Language of Worlds bimonthly linkup, all about your WIP's characters. Check out Liv's post for more details, if you want to do this (bc it's open to everyone! :D).

So, for this linkup I'm going to use my current WIP, the day we met. which i'm almost done with!! one chapter left! 

where does your character live, 

and how does that affect them?

There's two main characters, Evynne and Chad. They live in a small town (North Creek) in Texas, although I'm considering switching it to Mississippi. No matter what though, they'll end up living in small town in the South. :)

It affects them as they live in a small town, where they know basically everyone.

if they could book a vacation to anywhere

in the world, where would they go and why?

Hmm, Evynne would go to England to visit King's Cross Station, 221B Baker Street, and the cafe featured in BBC #Sherlock. Because she's a huge and unapologetic geek. :D

Chad would go to New York City, to visit Broadway (and hopefully see #Hamilton), Rockefeller Center, etc. But mainly, he'd just want to go somewhere with his family and Evynne. 

on a scale from 1 (low) to 10 (high), 

how ambitious are they?

Evynne is probably a five, as she wants to do a lot of things, but doesn't think she'll ever actually finish or accomplish her goals. 

Chad is a nine, as he has lots of wild dreams and actually has the motivation and desire to go accomplish them. 

what do they want to achieve long-term?

Evynne wants to finish high school, go to college, and graduate with a degree that'll help her get a job. Writing is one of her passions, and eventually she wants to finish one of her stories. Potentially even publish it. 

Chad wants to get a job that he enjoys, no matter what the paycheck is. Currently, he's considering becoming a writer full time. He also wants to pursue happiness, to make the world a better place.

who inspires them?

They both inspire each other. 

Chad inspires Evynne to be more optimistic, to look for the rainbows instead of seeing just the rain clouds. He inspires her to follow her dreams, no matter how hard or unattainable they seem. 

Evynne inspires Chad to be more practical, to be more organized and productive with his time. To know that in order to fulfill his dreams and goals, it takes hard work and perseverance. 

how would they handle seclusion?

An introvert through and through, Evynne wouldn't mind seclusion (for a reasonable period of time). She needs alone time after spending a lot of time with friends, just to recharge. 

A mix between introvert and extrovert, Chad wouldn't mind seclusion for a little while...and then he would start to go crazy if left alone for a long time. 

are they a cat person, or dog person?

They're both definitely cat people. Evynne really wants to get a cat, but one of her brothers is allergic, so she has to wait until she has an apartment of her own (and she's already planned it out: it'll be a black and white cat named Sherlock). 

what's their favorite type of weather?

Evynne's favorite type of weather is a classic fall day: crisp air, gentle breeze, and crunchy leaves. 

Chad's favorite kind of weather is a cold, snowy day where there's no school and all day is spent sledding and building snowmen and snowball fights. 

when they're hungry, does it show? how?

For Evynne, yes definitely. Sometimes she doesn't eat (because when she's stressed, she either doesn't have time or just isn't hungry). But when she doesn't eat....she gets irritable and grumpy. Hangry. xD

Chad....no, because he never skips meals. So whenever he's hungry, he'd just go get food. Yup. :D

what's one Bible verse they would identify

with?

Evynne: 

Matthew 11:28-30

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Chad: 

John 14:27

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
