Sooooooo guess who's gonna completely redesign one of my main characters entire backstory and conflict?????
Me cuz I didn't like how my only black protagonist's struggle was that he was a runaway slave.
So now he will be a runaway soldier after he realizes how corrupt the government is and what exactly he's supposed to be fighting for. Of course, I'm still gonna keep in how the love of his life, a witch, was arrested for witchcraft. That'll be what finally pushes him to desert the army and join the rebellion.
And BAM! He's still a runaway wanted by the kingdom, his goal is still to find his love, and he's still a badass. But this time we don't have the stupid cliche of making the only black protagonist struggle with racism and/or be a slave ^-^
