After the fateful day that the Flying Graysons swung their last aerial trick, what if Richard Grayson wasn't the only one taken by a secretive villain organization? What if when both sets of parents deceased, both Alexandra Cretu, Dick's best friend...
This is stuff that I figured would be worth mentioning before the story.
I know people don't stop to read this stuff, and if you are then.... haha, the support is appreciated. :)
First things first, I'm only human. So if I make a mistake, please just tell me or make suggestions, don't go yelling or trying to roast me for it lol.
Disclaimer: I know that this book probably might not be good! Haha, you don't have to tell me, I am aware.
Okay so now onto book stuff. There are going to be Romanian stuff in this book. For when there is dialogue in Romanian, I ran the text I wanted to say through a few different translators, just to try and make sure it's as accurate as I can make it, and then added the English translation below whatever the dialogue is (you can tell its the English translation by me putting a 't/n' before the translation).
That probably doesn't make sense but you'll see what I mean if you read the book.
And I know that Richard Grayson is technically Romani, not Romanian. But to my knowledge, the only difference between Romani and Romanian is that Romani travel around a lot, but other than that they're almost the same thing. So it's a slight enough difference to where I'm just going to overlook that small detail. Please don't hate me.
Also another book thing, I'm hoping to incorporate in flashbacks quite frequently. I don't know if it's going to go smoothly or seem forced but all the flashbacks are going to be in Italics.
One last thing before I talk about the oc The prelude and prologue are important and they do contribute to the story.
I know some peeps skip over prologues cause they are deemed boring. But the prelude is a prelude to the prologue and the prologue is the prologue to the story. I know books don't usually have that but this one does.
Okay about the oc character I added into the plot: Alexandra Cretu. I wanted a name that could be shortened (Like, Richard to Dick as Alexandra to Alex).
And I felt so clever with her last name Cretu means 'Curly' in Romanian origin. And I pictured her with curly black hair.
... I know, it's dumb, but let me have my moment.
These are the character designs I used as a reference when I was picturing Alexandra. It's a design of a character (who I think is) called Sylvie Mansoor by Bev Johnson. (These pictures are credited to Bev Johnson, I do not own this, I used it simply for inspiration). This is the design type feel I imagined for Alexandra.

Yyyeeeaaahh, that's what I pictured she'd look like. But yet again, all credits for the character design that I used as inspiration goes to Bev Johnson.
And then just because I felt like adding it, this is the general feel of what she would look like with her mask. I had liked the rugged and worn edges of the mask look on her.

Mwhaha! The power of photoshop! But doesn't the worn edges of the mask look good on her? Or is that just me lol.
I'm not going to go all out and describe her personality, partially because I'm lazy and partially because that takes the fun out of writing her character.
