Hello agen, na-cover ko na po ang lahat ukol sa writing stages ng TRG. Now ang focus naman po natin is ang mga characters. I-di-discuss ko po mostly ang mga main and may small part para sa mga naging side characters. (P.S. Album attached is another album kung saan nagmula po ang mga song inspirations por TRG. And enyweys, kaka-drawing ko lang po sa kanila this morning haha xD digital art takes tulong soo)

Sooo, Alakric, este, Alaric, may main character and the main owner of le POV, ay pinakaunang character po ng TRG. He was made dahil sa prompt ng RomancePH for February because he's the character po that fits the very prompt. Parang kung siya po si Cinderella, sa kanya nag-fit ang glass slipper (imaginin niyo na dali haha xD) Kaya siya ang naunang nag-check in sa mindscape ko na wala pa pong partner, basta andyan na siya. Sabi niya siya raw po ang ex ni Arika. Lol xD

Yeah, he is. Altho, originally ang na-e-envision ko sa ex ni Arika na dati ang title lang ay Mr. MakahingiNgSparksWagas o MakaClicheWagas, ay isang guy na clingy in a way. Like iyong tipong gustong lagi siya ang inuuna all the taym. Pero, yeah, Arika had her faults, hindi niya lang napapansin (and some other reason na ma-re-reveal lang on a story extension for YMFNY). 

Ewan ko rin po kung ano po ang naganap at si Alaric ang lumabas na character pero ganern, mahal niyo naman po siya, di'ba? (no? huhu)

And huwell po, Alaric was supposed to be really downing. Like nasa loob po siya ng hawla ng sarili niya pong emotions and na-fru-frustrate siya kasi hindi niya po ma-translate nang maayos ang mga iyon sa ibang tao. Kaya po sa unang part is parang gusto niyang magpakamatay, altho, since nag-progress ang story, hindi po iyon naganap. And the change was finer than payn.

Anddd i-e-expound ko lang po yung asa character profile bago po tayo mag-move on kay RG. Yes po, hindi po siya katulad ni Ansel o ni Isaak na sa kakisigan pwedeng maging model. Alaric is pretty normal in terms of appearance, pwedeng gwapo siya sa ibang tao (i.e. RG) or normal lang siya. Like, kung pagtatabihin po sila ni Diode, mas maraming magkakandarapa kay Diode (bukod sa mas alam ni Diode na mambola, ganern). But, kung ugali po ang hahanapin, syempre mas may lamang po si Doc. And most people find comfort being with him (except, in a way, si Arika). 

And yep, rits kid po siya and since only child, most ng pera is asa kanya po talaga. But because his parents are not naturally rich at first, they taught him how to use his money well.

* some spellings here are done on purpose haha xD

And now, we here, kay RG. Yes, she has a name at dapat may POV pa siya. Hangkaso po ay limited na po ang aking word count. Lumampas na rin po kasi ako sa plano ko lang sana na 5k, ang end word count po ay naging 8521 po ang final ahha xD Like I always thought po na mababalik ko po sa 5k, but every part mattered soo...

Anyways, RG or as you saw earlier, Thea, pero ang mas pinakabuo niya pong pangalan ay Thealona. Na-cute-an po ba kayo sa name niya? Haha xD ako rin po. (Ang hirap magsulat na ikaw ang unang nakakabasa xD kasi parang kausap mo ang sarili mo haha xD)

So, ayun, here's the kwela girl RG at siya ang pinakanaging iba ang characterization sa kanilang dalawa ni Alaric.

She's supposedly po a girl who has completely, like super completely, gave up on life dahil po sa sakit niya. Like she was always attempting to die but always failing and si Doc lang sana ang only person na makakapag-stop sa streak of trials niya. She's also a girl who listens to the band Kent and other bands na foreign na hindi niya maintindihan ang lyrics, but she can feel every beat like it's speaking to her, ganern.

Buttt xD 

Well, like almost every character I have na sa una iba ang plano ko sanang characteristic, ay nagka-power si Thea and she told me that, heyyy, dat not me, okay?

So, there you go. Nagbago siya.

But well, dahil ang focus na POV ng TRG ay si Doc, you don't know how she thinks and all that. But like sabi po sa character profile, she takes things seriously. Like sabihin na natin na kung ano ano ang lalabas po sa kanyang bunganga, pero sa iba ang takbo ng utak niya. Medyo the same rin kay Doc. 

And discussing other points, yes, to Doc Alaric, she would seem very transparent. Pero sa ibang tao, ang pagpapakwela niya ay laging translated to kwela, kahit iyong iba pilit lang talaga. The people around her always thinks na wala siyang problema sa mundo or not paying that enough attention to know. The only one close to understanding what she feels is her Mom and well, Doc Alaric. Hindi naman sa hindi niya triny, sadyang nung sinubukan niya, shookt sila dahil ganun pala siya mag-isip. And welll, she got scared of sharing after kaya ganern, idadaan niya sa ibang bagay (i.e. partying and drinking).

Sooo, yep, meeting Alaric is a blessing.

Diode

Diode, ang sipa-ble at babaerong bestfriend ni Alaric na hanggang ngayon siguro nagtataka pa rin kayo bakit niya kaibigan sa dinami dami ng matinong tao na pwede niyang kaibiganin. Ganto kasi 'yan, some point in Alaric's life, he was a doormat. 

Nung una, walang pakialam si Diode, minsan kasama pa siya sa nakiki-bully. Pero, dahil napansin niya na mali ang ginagawa niya (matagal na niyang alam actually, but it was Alaric who woke him up from it), siya pa mismo ang bumugbog sa mga bullies ni Alaric at siya ang naging unang prend ni Doc. Kaya through thick an thin, best prends na talaga silang dalawa and para na rin siyang pangatlong kapatid ni Diode (mas makasundo niya rin kasi si Alaric kaysa kay Ion).

Lissa

Ion's girlfriend and Alaric's coworker. A warm and maternal-like person. Dati rin niyang naging boyfriend si Diode (nung pre-babaero days niya xD yep, he por me, he was originally innocent like everywan else) pero things happened so yeah. She did fell in love with Diode's younger brother. Siya rin ang only person na hindi pinagsasabihan si Alaric na sensitive. May iba pa silang kasama sa clinic, so yeah. 

Ion

Ion is well Diode's brother. Ang only person na ni minsan hindi nagsalita at binabanggit lang talaga ng mga characters. Hindi ko rin siya kilala, lol. Pero yeah, he likes telling his girlfriend lahat ng chismis na nasasagap niya kay Diode. Sa girlfriend niya lang tho. Mas matino siya in a way na hindi siya babaero, pero sa ibang part mas malala siya kay Diode. Sabihin na natin makikipag-deal ka sa kanya, akala mo you get more, but he gets more, parang ganern haha xD

Mama Royal

Ang butihing madir ni Thea. Maaga siyang nabiyuda pero hindi naman iyon nakapigil kay Mama Royal na magpatuloy. Yes, she was sad, but she remained strong para kay Thea. She cares so much about her daughter na kahit ano na ang raket na pasukin (but not illegal) ay papasukin niya para lang maging komportable si Thea sa buhay. This is why Thea complained about how she looked like before, kasi randam na randam niya talaga na parang in a way, pinapatay niya ang Mama niya. 

But Mama Royal never thought of it that way and siya rin ang pinakaunang natuwa nang malaman niyang ikakasala na si Thea. She even visited Alaric in his clinic and quizzed him on things. Friendly rin si Madir kaya nung nag-usap sila with Alaric's parents, besties na sila pagkatapos. Yun lang, we all love Mama Royal <3

Arika

Nothing to say here lol xD Abangan na lang po ang extension sa YMFNY. And if until now, di niyo pa po siya kilala and to get a taste of her perspective, punta po kayo sa You, Me and the Fireworks of the New Year. Don't worry poez, mga 1500 words lang po iyon.

Hayunnn, next up po will be about what should have happened and some last extras.
