As the creator of characters and their stories, sometimes I wonder about things. When I know a character's end will be tragic, due either to circumstances, or due to their own choices, is it my fault? Am I, their creator, cruel because I stand by and let them head down that path that inevitably ends in tragedy? Or, if I end up pitying them, should I change their fate? But no. Not every character can get the happy ending, particularily if their heart is dark and twisted. And yes, you can blame me for creating them that way. But without their fall, the story wouldn't be nearly as meaningful.
She's so pretty, but she looks kind of sad. Is that because of your tragic plans for her?
