Last week, I announced I submitted my fairy tale retelling. You can read more about it at this link, plus learn more about my heroine.
Another character bio is here, and it’s on the significant male character in my Red Riding Hood retelling.
Yes, I do have a huntsman in my story. Actually, he’s a prince, too.
Prince Deverell is of the country Lusanda. He’s fourteen years old, and like the people of Lusanda, he has the inborn ability to fly, as well as shoot fire and wind from his hands. Assigned by Elohim (the Supreme Creator God), he hunts for monsters created by the alchemist, who’s intent on harming the weak and helpless.
He’s brave, and he takes his role as warrior seriously. As Crown Prince, the burden of being the best leader is intense, and he doesn’t always know who to trust. While in Nan’s country Bueron, he suspects Nan and her peers of being abettors of the temperamental dire wolf, so he forces them to stay in his camp for a few days. There are moments where he’s too harsh, like when he expresses his doubt in Nan’s innocence. Or when he speaks harshly with his sister, the Princess Celine, which inspires her to run away.
However, when Nan’s innocence is confirmed, he softens, and he expresses regret of his meanness toward his sister. He even stands by Nan’s side as she tells Madame Ethel that she’s been bullied by her fellow wards. Having a compassionate side, he helps her if her physical disability causes her to stumble on the forest floor.
I picture him as having bangs that cover his brows. He’s supposed to have brown hair, but this royalty-free photo can represent light brown hair. *shrugs*
