There's a certain story of mine that I've been working on for a while now, and I finally had a breakthrough.
See, the problem was with Luna, my FMC; there was something missing about her character that I just couldn't pin down. I had my MMC down-pat, but Luna just wasn't doing it for me.
Then I finally hit on it: she was blind.
And no, I'm not just doing this as a gimmick or anything like that. It just felt right, you know? She was already a seer, and then this just fit. She had to give up her sight in order to receive the visions that she can use to help people.
The only problem is, do you think that makes her seem too handicapped? I don't have anything against blind people, but my MMC isn't blind, and I feel like that puts him ahead a bit. However, Luna's very capable- I just don't like the idea of swordfighting going on (this is a fantasy story) and Luna just sitting there, kinda helpless.
So here's my question: Do you think this is a good idea? And do you have any suggestions?
Thanks!
