Creating a bad ass character in fictional writing. Easy? Hardly!!
Girl power? Badass? Tough as nails? Asskicking chick?.. yea, all stereotypes of female characters. Yet, as a writer we love to have “superheroes” for our audience to connect with. Superheroes could be normal people that demonstrate super human feats or someone that is clearly smarter that most. I love writing fiction. In my fictional story telling, I love to develop characters that could become non-fictional personalities. The key is developing a strong ass-kicker character is patience. Patience in your writing and development overt time of the character itself. In my first novel, “Sunrise in Saigon”, Regina Kendall play’s a troubled high school teen dealing with her parents divorce and some ways, her own sexuality.
In the 2nd novel, “Veil over Taiwan”, Regina becomes a war hero in the US Coast Guard with several medals for stopping the various drug carters from smuggling cargo and weapons into the US. Soon after Regina leaves the military, she enrolled into Harvard and received her law degree. Later in the story, he gets involved a cross border shooting with the Chinese assassins. Even when Regina takes a bullet in the shoulder, she continue to fire her weapon, taking out several bad guys.
While in the third novel, “Shores of Okinawa”, Regina hunts down several Russian Mafia types and global hackers and dishes her own “pain train” to a new level, thus becoming a total global badass!
After reading several versions of my writings, I can see the development over time of Regina evolving into more than just a hero to the story, she becomes someone that could very well exist in a non-fictional storyline. I see Regina staying around for the next two novels and continue to “kick ass” and takes several names, while maybe finding someone to love her. “)
Writers always need to remember to develop a character that the reading can look forward too in future story plots. I believe Regina will have several new adventures including falling in love, feeling her heart getting crushed, while dishing the “haymakers” to global bad guys.
I look forward to future versions of “Regina Kendall!”. Check her out in the “Shores on Okinawa” currently posted in WATTPAD.
