Day 19
19. Favorite minor that decided to shove himself into the spotlight and why!
Well, there are two, and they're both in the Karavan series.
Va'Heta was originally going to be a fairly small character, quite possibly a villain, and get killed off early on. Didn't work out that way; once I started writing him it became obvious he wasn't a villain and I was too curious about where else he'd go to kill him in the first book.
Ki'Rana is a childhood friend of his, who first showed up in just a one-line reference he made about how someone else on board reminded him of her. I had it in my mind that at the time he was making the comment, she was already dead. Then I sat down and wrote her death scene and . . . well, she refused to die. Good thing, too, because she's one of my favorite characters now. :-)
