The four aspects of a great character are the Need, the Want, the Ghost, and the Lie.
A Want is their conscious desire.
A Need is what they really want but might not know.
A Lie is the thing they believe that keeps them from that Need.
A Ghost is that spiritual wound that caused the Lie.
A Want is their conscious desire.
A Need is what they really want but might not know.
A Lie is the thing they believe that keeps them from that Need.

My friend @kchristensen.bsky.social has published a novel about two girls who use the Brink Box to solve questions they have about their mother's death and to save elephants from extinction. It's one of the best books I've ever critiqued and I enjoyed it immensely.
