I killed off a comic relief side character in my story which I had grown to really like.
She was awesome, funny, and really jumped of the pages.
What characters did you kill of that you… sort of regretted? :)

Beta reader feedback on my fantasy story. Seems like I am on a decent path with this.
Especially when working on it actually *gives* me energy.
