(@irr11tauthor, @ratscout I don't know how I wasn't subbed to you guys before cause I know I read your stuff before but I am now XD, @caffeinatsun I subbed for you too ^-^)
Ohh Funn~ Behold: My long-windedness!

1. Title: Summoned: Familiar of the Dark Magician
2. Name of main characters:
- Ennette
- Maziar
3. Relationship status of character:
- Single
- Technically engaged but single in his heart.
4. Character flaw: They are both teenagers. XD (J/k but really...)
- Enna is too clever by half to the point of messing things up. She can be confrontational and really doesn't want to do what she doesn't want to do.
- Maziar is reckless, stubborn, and likes to force himself into situations that isolate himself.
5. Character strength:
- Enna is clever and kind and doesn't give up easily. She's also very resourceful.
- Maziar is smart and easygoing. He cares a lot about the people around him, even if he never admits to it.
6. Character want/need:
- Ennette really just wanted a break from high school life and a good book. What she got instead was dumped into a new world, and she now has to figure out how to survive at a magic school and find a way back home before her 'master' becomes the villain of the story. What she really needs is to learn that she is in control of her own life, that she can make choices based on her desires, and that it's okay to trust her heart.
- Having sold his soul (and his magic), Maziar just wants to live the life he has left, but he also wants revenge on the prince who hurt his sister. What Maziar needs is to realize that there is more to life than revenge, and he is surrounded by reasons to fight for his life rather than accept his fate.
7. Type of romance: Heterosexual
