Well, there is Rowan Oakley. To tell you a secret, I didn't really like my main character up until about two weeks ago when she underwent some drastic changes, and became what you just saw tonight. I love her now and can't wait to get to know her better.
Arries
P.S. The moral of the story is; that change is okay sometimes. It might be just what you need to boot you out of a really bad case of writer's block, like it did me. I mean REALLY bad writers block.
