It was brought to my attention that a story on Wattpad has an OC that is similar to mine. They also have the same title (not a big deal or anything) but the description made it sound like it was my story after I had done the rewrites. When they started reading it, they noticed some similarities between their OC and Ana. Now I haven’t read the story or spoken with the author as I’m not sure if I should concern myself with it. But the similarities she has noticed thus far are:
1. The main character is referred to as “Phoenix/The Phoenix” and “warrior” by other characters
2. She supposedly has “the powers of the phoenix” which means she can control/do things related to fire. (But since there are a lot of fire-related creatures/things that doesn’t mean she has “phoenix powers,” imo). However, there have been hints that she can transform into a phoenix or smth (which would be copying from my character)
3. She is a phoenix, warrior, archer and protector/guardian to the Narnians
4. She has auburn hair and is an archer that never misses
5. The prophecy is apparently similar (she has her powers to be a protector/guardian)
6. She is a human living in Narnia under the Witch’s rule (though her circumstances are different from Ana’s)
Again, I have not talked to the author or read the book. (I skimmed a few chapters and what I saw made it seem like they expanded my OC and made her overpowered). I’m simply wondering if I should. Is there enough similarities to think she got the idea for the character from me? Do I have a right to say anything? I won’t share a link to the story/author because I don’t want to cause issues with them. I would just like some advice from all of you.
