At the end of the first chapter Cassie takes a sketchy job for a good payout. Sure, it bought medicine her sister needed to not die but, well, bad things happened as a result. VERY bad things. Things she had a hand in.

#AwesomeCharacters Oh! I remembered one from "Part Time Girl" that is NOT a MASSIVE spoiler 😁
After overhearing a scary conversation, Mike is worried about Angela, and she's not answering texts, so he bikes over, and she's not answering her door, so he rings multiple times...
In Synergy Niv loses his cool and threatens to not only throw the offending engineer of the job, but withold permission for her to take her tool set with her. This garners the scathing attention of the remaining crew for even contemplating such a move.

I… am having trouble answering #AwesomeCharacters because so much of 1660's meat is Alexander making a bunch of decisions and then feeling like a fool. 😅 (see today's idiot sandwich meme)
But dodging spoilers… there is a small gag in chapter 9, where he tries to look cool and falls on his face… +
OK #AwesomeCharacters, so, in #MistWarden, Chaos Bound, Jessica has a plan to kidnapp the possessed guy. She's gathered all her gear, mind buzzing with a million doubts. She starts backing her parents' car ever so carefully out of the garage… and runs straight into the still-closed garage door 👀💀
All the time bc I like putting her in situations. Idk I just like messy characters. She's just doubling down bc she can't admit she's a girl kisser. <3

#AwesomeCharacters but she's actually pretty lame.

Wren and Spencer have both felt like fools after bad romances. Wren's first crush (a fellow thief) left her to get caught by the city watch during a robbery so he could get away. Spencer's fiancé was only with him because 🧵

Setsune felt like she had been manipulated and groomed into a weapon by her third mother figure, Taipan. It's the most enraged and spiteful she ever felt. It's an extreme example, but Setsune isn't known to be easily reactive or surprised
#AwesomeCharacters
Cordie tries to get Noah to acknowledge Ben’s attractive physical appearance. He is VERY ace and doesn’t really get what makes a guy “hot,” and he’s very self conscious about not knowing.
Lila had a brief stint as Lisa's practice buddy when Lisa needed to prep for a big cheer tournament. The first time she tried a stunt, she panicked and fell, much to her embarrassment. Thankfully, Lisa caught her.
Lila would later come to view acrobatics as occasionally useful.

Lawcket feels like a fool amazingly often.
I can't pick, so I'll briefly mention a few.
He got lost as an 8 yr old, after promising he wouldn't (not his fault, & he's glad of it afterwards, because it's how he & Looccup meet, but he still feels very bad in the moment)

Thus began the greatest campaign of gaslighting ever waged.
Kiera would steal important items from Henet’s home, only returning them in public places. This went on for *months*.
Henet still can’t find some of the things that went missing.

Now Rodgier was actually fine with it. He’s a chill guy.
Who *didnt* take it well is Kiera, his head of security and Tala’s mom.
Who is also the most accomplished thief in Alliance history (so far).

Henet would absolutely love April Fools Day.
They’ve made most everyone feel some kind of foolish at one point or another, but are very good at remaining un-fooled themself.
Except the one time they pranked Rodgier.

Mireia feels like a fool on multiple occasions, but the most significant is just generally as she gets older & looks back on some of her past actions with horrible cringe... particularly her initial treatment of Kena (she's an asshole lol) and her admiration🧵1/7

Trig's biggest mistake was when he was younger working at the castle he dropped a bowl of soup on a knight. Not only was he in trouble but he was branded stupid by everyone.
He trusts Raven with the truth of it, and doesn't realise it gains her full respect of him after that.
My Pedro feels like a fool every waking moment of every goddamn day. For joining the military b/c adventurers get the girls, for his poetry, his heart &falling in love w/dangerous women. For the deaths of friends b/c of his failings. Sometimes he owns it. Mostly it fuels anxiety. #AwesomeCharacters

I hope sharing snippets counts.
The 1st is in Bound By Heart, & is really entirely his fault for testing nature.
The 2nd is 1 of the few moments I've shared from Magic's friend. It's when he's trying to help Callith rescue her eggs. The *flilient, (spirits of the magic - 1/2

I'm trying to think of some light-hearted examples for this one, but, most of the time, if one of my characters feels like a fool, they thoroughly deserve it. Ask Tank, Wolf, or Steel how it feels to have deluded yourself so badly you nearly ruined your own chance of happiness.
Rocky routinely makes Liam feel like a fool. It got cut from my WIP, but for April Fool’s Day, he swapped out all of Liam’s shirts to ones a size smaller. And then there’s the tragic Rick Roll that DID make it in… #HistorytownAZ #AwesomeCharacters

Gallara is excessively self-conscious, feeling that she's embarrassed herself in pretty much every interaction with others. Certain attempts at heroism make her feel foolish indeed when she thinks she might have made things worse.

Mana and Mori both feel *pretty fucking foolish* about how the asalvyr incident plays out.
It's hard to say whose fault it is really, as there were other preventative layers there that also failed, so perhaps it can all be blamed on failures in communication in general.

Sasha felt like a fool when he realized just how unfair he'd been to Galen when they first met. It was entirely his fault, and once he realized it, he was very much consumed by guilt.

I'm digging in to a new story TODAY because it's the full moon. I have a first-person character from the draft who I believe is the main character.
Right now, she is a trope without even a name. BUT she was part of a BIG misunderstanding, so that's close.

In her school days, Bethany was a victim of several pranks & jokes. One in particular was when the school snob, Blanche Ingold, attempted to make Bethany cry in the girl's bathroom by mocking her parentage. Only it backfired, instead Beth fought Blanche & it got her in trouble.
Gielle has the Marisian rune for "naivete" on her cheek, tattooed when she was 13 due to her lack of experience.
It makes her feel like she has more she needs to prove to overcome what is viewed as a negative personality trait.

#TheDragonblood: Felix feels like a fool when he goes through the effort of stealing a crossbow from a sleeping dragon and gets ready to shoot it at another dragon, only to realise, you know, crossbows need ammo.

That would be the time Erika, being overconfident in their ability to shake a tail, lead a mob assassin in power armour to Lenora's apartment, getting Lenora shot in the ensuing fight, right in the vitals.

Rei probably couldn't admit to herself that she's felt like a fool. But as a child, she was frequently on the receiving end of people deliberately humiliating her for their amusement. They enjoyed her tears and pain. Now she can't reveal pain. #AwesomeCharacters #writingcommunity #writesky

Veldandi is definitely taking a class in music! She learned the basics of playing the malaiku from her father, but would like to improve her skills with it.
She’s also expressed an interest in learning to play the lute, a personal favorite of one of her ‘aunties’.
