Maria does indeed plan to do this, for reasons that are massive spoilers. She will be as honest as she possibly can, it's important to her.
JB Pritzker is the worst thing about my state.
In book 2, Maria reunites with her ex-lover and formerly only friend, Alicia Grenik, when she returns to her homeworld. It starts out tense, gets happier, and then ends with Maria's attempted execution. So overall it went pretty well!
Highest: Maria: Strength Niarith: Intelligence Lolanene: Wisdom Mirideth: Charisma Lowest: Maria: Wisdom Niarith: Constitution Lolanene: Charisma Mirideth: Strength
Did some things Ive never ever done before yesterday! I went to a hypnokink con, and while there I did something remarkable that would shock the me of ten years ago to her core. I walked up to a group of complete strangers, started talking to them, and made new friends. That is HUGE for me.
Maria briefly did similar work for a couple months after leaving Hearthea. It didn't go well and she was fired from several jobs within days.
It's almost always appearance first for me. The rest tends to start as vague ideas that become more defined as I write the character.
It's my birthday Read my books
Really wish I didn't burn out on writing stuff like every 3 months Being disabled sucks
#JulyInterviewFic Maria: When I first met Niarith, she told me things that terrified me. Things that threw everything I'd ever known into question. My religion, my view of my place in the universe, my understanding of what the universe itself was. It was terrifying, impossible."
#JulyInterviewFic Maria: "In a word, freedom. I am defined by the struggle for freedom, whether on Hearthea or in the wider galaxy. That struggle is who I am. What I and the IIF are attempting will change the history of humanity itself for the better. I can think of no better legacy than that."
Maria looks forward to the time when humanity is free from the Federal Interstellar Commission. But part of her dreads it as well. Fighting and killing have been her whole life. She's not even certain who she'd be without it.
I've got one non-binary major character, Calmav Nitrikul. They are a 400 year old immortal who has unfortunately found that the best way to protect themself is to be an asshole to literally everyone. I intended them to be non-binary from the start. The asshole bit came later, lol.
Welp. That lasted like 3 days. Fuck.
#JulyInterviewFic Maria: "I once leapt out of moving starship with only a momentum dampener harness to break the fall. I didn't know it at the time, but I had actually exceeded the harness's safety limits by several orders of magnitude. I was lucky I survived at all."
