When Writing Always Remember… A Character Flaw Is Only A Flaw Until Becomes Useful. 

In Philippine Mythology, Diwata are forest spirits, protecting the vast rainforests of the archipelago. One such nameless Diwata was said to have eyes so beautiful she could turn anyone she gazes upon into wood and stone.

she was blessed by the goddess of many eyes, Dalikamata, and was assigned to protect the flowers of the tree of make-believe, an enchanted tree in an enchanted jungle that could be found at the very edge of the world.

*thinks about how Gen is always next to Senku bc he wants to win him over and he wants Senku to like him*

Do you have any tips on how to make sure your character stays consistent throughout the book? (especially for a newbie)

Get to know your characters really well before you even start the first draft. It’s a time commitment, but it’s well worth it. If you write the story with an already solid knowledge of who your character is, how they present themselves, what their motivations are, and how they change over the course of the plot, you’ll have a much easier time keeping the character portrayal consistent, as well as interesting. 

I have a couple articles that will help with your character development in the planning/outlining stages of your story:

land spirits

in cities and towns, you won’t really have to worry about this but it’s important to be careful and respectful of the land you plan to cross, especially if it’s your first time visiting and especially if it’s in a forest. land spirits like duwende live in trees, rocks, dirt mounds, caves, and pretty much everywhere else. duwende can be playful but will get angry if you destroy/disrespect their home, so always ask permission before you pass through and don’t spit, urinate, or even run around ((be really careful not to crush mounds))

Trese Official Trailer (in english)

For your nerdy consideration...

This upcoming Netflix animated series is based on the Trese comics by Budjette Tan and Kajo Baldisimo — the story is set in Metro Manila and centered on Alexandra Trese, a detective that deals with supernatural beings from Filipino myth and folklore.

The show is headed by Jay Oliva, developed by BASE Entertainment, and stars Shay Mitchell and Liza Soberano as the titular Alexandra Trese (English and Filipino dub respectively).

It comes on June 11 on Netflix.

In Philippine Mythology, Apolaki, the son of the chief of the gods Bathala, was the god of the sun, wisdom, and war. 

 It was said that when the spanish colonizers arrived, Apolaki descended from his heavenly abode to scold the Tagalogs for welcoming such men.

He is the brother of the moon goddess Mayari, who rules the night sky and the earth as his equal.
