I confess that I just decided to give my OC a fear of thunderstorms.
I confess that when a storm hits, she is curled up in a corner, hands over her ears and crying. That's how much they scare her.
I confess that she never gets over that fear.
I confess that I decided to make this fanfiction takes place in an alternate universe.
I confess that this means that I have changed who the hero travels with, though the canon companions are still there, just not as main characters.
I confess that this makes my plan for character development arcs.
