Bonnie and Lian both (unknowingly) wind up at the same night club at the same time at one point.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters Antagonist Day! Do your antagonist and protagonist share any interests? Stripped of any quarrels between them, what could you see them enjoying doing together? Like Mario Kart for Bowser and Mario! #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Her nemesis, Kirana, is the sole magic-using superhero. Her goal's to spread magical education to the public so people can better defend against supernatural threats. She feels that Bun Voyage's (Bonnie's) use of stage magic in the public eye undermines her efforts. And Bonnie has a crush on her.

A villain with a conscience is so much more interesting than a straightforward bad guy and a nemesis who's slowly realising she's not actually evil that tension must be really fun to write are they rivals or is there something more complicated going on between them?

Annex told them not to come for him, deeming it too risky. Evidence against him was minimal; he can just serve his sentence. What kickstarts the plot is Bonnie's conscience getting her involved in public events that make her nemesis start to see that she's a 'villain' but she's not a bad person.

She has a mentor figure who's now out of the picture that's such a compelling setup it sounds like there's a real found family dynamic there with her and her brother too is getting Annex out the driving goal of the story or does something bigger pull her in a different direction?

Bonnie certainly thinks so, despite being a supervillain. She's a thief, not a 'hurting people' type villain, plus a running theme is that she's mentally healthier and happier than her superhero nemesis. And as a supervillain, she's aware of certain dirty little superhero secrets the public isn't.

Does your original character believe that they are a good person? Is their assessment of themselves correct? #OCASK #OCQOTD #OCSKY

Given that Bonnie is a C-tier supervillain, her making the front page probably means trouble. Not a one of her supervillain friends is surprised.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters You wake up this morning to find your characters splashed all over the news! What's the headline? What have they done? Is this going to be a problem? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Depends on the story. With the Burning Veil, I knew exactly how I wanted it to end from the start. Then changed that while writing the first drafts. For Almost Criminal, I only have a vague idea of how it'll end and it's gonna take a long time to get there.

At what point do you usually know the ending to your WIP? If I donโ€™t know the ending or something close to it from the beginning, I canโ€™t get started #writingq #WritingCommunity

Well, Bonnie's quite practiced at stage magic. I wouldn't mind learning some magic tricks for parties and such.
