Multiple ways. Mainly by mood, or if my friends strongly recommend me a book, if a favorite author just released a new book, something I’ve been needing to get off my TBR list, and lastly sometimes I let a 20-sided dice pick for me📚

D20: Favorite side character
I hate picking favorites. All of them are special to me! But if I really had to choose-I like Kuin because he’s awkward & takes his job as personal guard very seriously. I like Mia & her determination to remain positive in a world that tears her down.

D16: If I made a side character a MC, I would choose Mia. She’s struggling with being harmed by her father, discovering her father isn’t her biological dad, having to leave her home, & learning about herself and who she is. It would be a self-discovery fantasy story in her shoes.

D14: Coping with Stress
There’s a lot of running their hands through their hair. Some nail biting, pacing, arguing, or talking it out.

D8: Funniest Character.
I would say Alaine. She’s constantly using phrases, jokes, or cultural references people in the fantasy world don’t understand, so it turns into a bit of a funny awkward moment. She’s also rarely serious & tries to lighten the tension.
