I have a serious soft spot for Emeroma - she's so delightfully fun to write! Oranaan and Draiden are both excellent foils for her. Kativa irritates me, as much as I like her. I have to channel my inner angsty teenager to write her, and that's always a little stressful!

Birka has grown on me... her role was originally supposed to be really minor, and she really bucked that!
Jerumal is frustrating me - I keep trying to give him redeemable characteristics and none of them really
stick. I'll keep poking!
Kether, on the other hand, is a sweetheart. I want to give him a big hug and a plate of cookies.
We've got several anti-heroes in the pipes for the North! We definitely need them!
