F: The Faerie-Elves Duel Scene

F: The Faerie-Elves Duel Scene

Okay, this one was a ton of fun to write. This is a set of characters I know really well, plus it employs a lot of the information I’ve been working on redesigning for the Aleruus Star System (a vast universe I’ve had since I was seven), so I got to employ both the new and the old.

Lucienne is a good friend of both Nissa and Detren, and one of the main side characters of The Shadow Raven. She’s also one of my personal favorites in the trilogy. She’s able to keep a level head even when Detren and Nissa are both declining, and help them through it, and I suppose she’s sort of a wise mentor character. I hope you enjoy her interview. :) Continue reading “Character Interview: Lucienne Crain”
