Though the character is not a new one, her interview is very recent — and this is as much an exercise in research and development as it is a lesson learned. Any character I write that has more than a page or so of visibility simply needs a profile, a history and an interview if I’m going to do them justice.
Poor Elori Kelaru, Champion of Elwan, was lacking in all of these: assuming (incorrectly) that I had the character locked down in my head, I plowed ahead and wrote her without doing a proper analysis. Needless to say, it showed, so Job One has been to give her her due. This interview is the first of the results of that in-depth analysis, and it reveals a much more interesting and subtle character than I imagined in passing.
So go ahead, pop on over and give her a read.
