About the Author: Why this character?

[Blackfire]

My biggest influence in selecting Blackfire was her background. I felt I had a lot of material to work with choosing her because of her backstory. I love the fact that Blackfire is a monarch, a woman of high class, yet was dealt a shitty hand from the moment she was born. I love the irony and it is what motivates me to continue to evolve her character. I see it as a challenge. As I type this I have no outline of Blackfire's future. I do not know if she will overcome the trauma she experienced growing up, but I love how it has had a heavy influence on her perception of the different kinds of people she encounters, her reactions and how she treats others.
