That was lovely! Terrific OC. I love how her childhood experience shaped her.

Thank you! I can't get enough of outsider viewpoint, it seems. I'm so pleased to hear that you enjoyed it. :-)

You break my heart and put it back together in the space of 5000 words. Lovely.

Thank you! I'm glad your heart got put back together again. :-)

I'm glad the mods are busy.

That was wonderful, best OC POV ever.

Thank you! I love doing outsider viewpoint. Even though I realised that having a young girl as the narrator might lead some people to assume it was a Mary Sue, right from the start she felt like the right narrator for this story.

Any person who assumes that girl OC = Mary Sue, is unclear on the concept and missing out on a terrific story. Again, this was wonderful. :)
