Anne August:
1. I took a quiz on Facebook about what my name should have been, and it came up "Anne." Since then, I always liked the name, and after I created Anne, I used it. "August," well, can you guess what month I created her in?

2. I got the idea for a detective in a fantasy world. It seemed original to me at the time. I needed a detective, and so, Anne was born. I made her young because, I figured, I'm around her age, so I can write her more believably.

3. Personality is more or less the same, but most obviously, I've changed up her outfit for the next story. I plan on doing that for each story.

4. She's had Ember ever since she was little. He was a gift from somebody dear to her.


Detective Daniel Alter:
1. Ripped both parts of his name from a Newsweek magazine.

2. Anne needed an official detective counterpart. Simple as that.

3. Um... his hair style changed a wee bit. Personality-wise, he's gotten a little more patient and more trusting after the first story.

4. He's divorced.


Miles:
1. Rearranged the letters in "Smile." Actually, I think ~MariettaRC may have come up with it.

2. Nothing! I doodled a random little jerk, and it turned out to be Miles.

3. I started drawing him with eyebrows. I also removed the obnoxious "SMILE" and smiley face from his clothing. He's gotten a lot more mature, too, at least in my own head.

4. He has a crush on someone.


Ezihan:
1. Got it from a name generator site.

2. I wanted an evil dude. He's actually just a rehash of an old villain I created a few years ago.

3. I developed his personality more, and I change up his robe slightly from time to time.

4. He was married at some point in his life. Did I just blow your mind?


Owen:
1. Popped into my head.

2. I figured that Ezihan needed more pawns, so... simple as that. I chose spider because spiders terrify me.

3. He hasn't really changed at all. Still just a mindless killing machine.

4. He's a failed experiment because of how utterly mindless he is. Seriously, Ezihan can't even use him because he'd just maul whoever was around, friend or foe. At least Miles shows some discretion!


Routhel:
1. That's a secret. Although, I'm considering changing it if I ever get around to rewriting the story...

2. Elias needed a partner.

3. When I first created him, he was nothing more than an expendable generic jerk. That changed. His outfit has changed slightly, but appearance has been basically the same.

4. Routhel is not his name.


Simon Walls:
1. ... you know, I forgot. Might've been from a book or TV show. Last name was the result of me listening to the Serj Tankian song "Empty Walls." Derr herr.

2. I thought of a little story idea and created him for the protagonist role. Nothing too remarkable about that.

3. Not at all, he's still too new.

4. He can grow a marvelous beard. (Lame, I know, but I couldn't think of anything else.)
