Story is going somewhere and I'm not sure exactly where. What I have now is a rumor about a group of sisters in a secret house. They care for a library in the forest that holds all kinds of information. The hero gets there and meets the sisters, but then it turns out that the sisters are actually one woman who splits herself into multiple parts, but keeps the one conscience. She can snap her fingers and all the other sister./parts will disappear and become part of her again. But why?
I'm still trying to figure out why the character would do something like this. The only real reason I have is because of whimsy , This takes place in a forest and the lady is secretly the ruler of this land. I think I was going for something supernatural where she's spreading herself thin so she can be more connected. The hero is self centered so maybe this is a big thing for them to witness.
Why would an elemental forest lady want multiple versions of herself?
Or why would anyone want multiple versions of themselves?
Got ideas? Let me know below!
