Roy and Allana
Dec. 30th, 2008 10:32 pmToday, a new pairing made itself known to me in the form of Allana and Roy. They both belong to a generation of characters that I know exist but haven't fleshed out yet (that includes Ahmik III, Ben, Charlie, Maya, Rhea and quite a few others) and probably never intended to flesh out until today Allana and Roy told me that they were an item which surprised me because they didn't even have personalities as far as I was concerned.
Allana and Roy have some of the taboo feeling that Kev and Janna or Wes and Hobbie have but with them it goes a step further. Allana is assertive and seems to know what she's doing while Roy is unsure about it all. And while Janna could probably have confided in Tahiri, Kyla or even Jason about her feelings for Kev, Roy certainly can't turn to his friends or siblings. I have no idea how they are going to play out but even if they don't work out in the end, hell, that'll make for some tension at family reunions.
This is fun because I've only ever written Allana as a plot point and now she is in her teens and is developing a personality that isn't quite like her mother's. Unlike Kyla, Allana got to be young and enjoy life because her mother did everything she could to make sure her daughter's life wouldn't be like hers. Allana is level-headed but she acts more like a teenager than Kyla ever did. She laughs and is interested in boys, although the wrong one, and I'm sure she kicks ass although I honestly always envisioned her hooking up with one of the Lieber-Shaw kids. Well, there's always Tara.
