Ok, I just want to compile all of my jumbled thoughts for this character in one place. Here's that place! So, A rough timeline of Haddy's life and threads I already have planned. 493- Born. 494- Infancy 465- Infancy 496- Still very young, but beginning to understand the world around her. She learns to be subservient and silent. 497- Spring- Starts learning to climb things. Summer- (An Encounter with Roguery) Haddy meets her closest companion, Cayden. Winter- Cayden gifts Haddy a 'secret hideout' for them to go if they get separated. 498- Bonding with Cayden, getting into trouble. 499- Fall- (Conquering Monotony) Cayden is roping Haddy into stealing their information papers in order to leave the orphanage prematurely. They are caught, and Cayden bears the consequence. They reunite in the 'hideout' and fall asleep together, dreaming of the great wide world. 500- Winter- (The Spark) Cayden is teaching Haddy how to fight (hand to hand). They go out looking for a fight late at night, and find it. Cayden is nearly beaten to death, Haddy escapes by climbing. Cayden is hospitalized for 3 weeks. Their overseers discover their hideout and burn it down. 501- 502- 503- 504- 505- Spring- (Embers) Cayden and Haddy are caught stealing, and Cayden is sent to prison. Winter- (New Life) Cayden returns, aged, and brings with him a friend. They leave the orphanage and join the Hand. (Lion Cub) Haddy is initiated into The Hand, alongside a handful of other misfits. 506- Spring- (Think Up) Haddy trains in acrobatics around the city. 507- Fall- (Target Practice) Haddy trains in archery. 508- Summer- (Claws and Fangs) Haddy trains in knife throwing. Summer- (On the Hunt) Haddy and her team of 4 (Cayden, Lyra, and Stannic) hunt down a team of smugglers on the docks. 509- Spring- (The Jackal) Cayden is given his rank in The Hand, and goes with Haddy on a mission to steal valuable information. Summer- (The Snake) Stannic gets his rank in The hand, and goes with Haddy on a mission to assassinate a man in the Daggerhand prison. (The Dragon) Lyra receives her rank in The Hand, and goes with Haddy on a mission to raid a bandit outpost outside the city wall. Fall- (The Lion) Haddy is given her rank in The Hand. 510- Spring- (Ignition) On a mission to assassinate a political leader, Haddy begins to suspect the justification of their kills. 511- 512- Fall- Haddy leaves the Hand. The Hand sends assassin teams to kill Haddy. (Wildfire) The Hand sends Haddy's own team to kill her. She accidentally kills Cayden. Lyra and Stannic flee. In a fit of rage, Haddy raids The Hand's HQ and massacres everyone. Haddy attempts to commit suicide and breaks her arm and a few ribs in the process. So now, the things that I want to work on in the future. A quick sidenote on Hadassah. Her past is littered with battle, fighting, strategy, conflict, adrenaline, etc. She has a fire inside her, which drives her into chaotic situations. However, her future is going to look very different. Long term, I want her to become a doctor, because from here on out, she's going to commit herself to righting all of the wrongs in her past. She intends to pursue a life of peace, within which she keeps her fire "at bay", and doesn't allow it to engulf her life, as she did before. That's my long LONG term plan. |
