      So far her levels of maturity seem to vary. I'd still rate her a minor.

    Anna behaves almost like a typical teenager at this point. But she's likely to outgrow a lot of that after Shee-Yar, just like a teenager thrown into a battle zone learns to grow up quickly. It's an experience of learning nobody will stop picking on you just because you cry.


The LL had a teenaged urban robot on staff when the Hellraisers attacks. She was destroyed, along with her boyfriend and his best friend. The team has been very sensitive about robot ages of consent since then.

    I think I've just recently learned how to make group efforts work well. It's why until just a few months ago, I avoided dealing with more than 2 or 3 people in a story. The great bonus to it is I can surprise the reader by switching focus. For instance Liu Xi can seem like the star for most of it, then half the Lair Legion gets involved, and then at the last minute someone you never expect comes out on top.


It's always useful to have that skill. I've certainly improved my large-cast writing on this board.

    I made a decision a long time ago that Lara would never have natural super strength or invulnerability. I think that would take away any reason at all for her to feel vulnerable and have to overcome it. When you can smash your way into a room and ignore the bullets and throw people like matchsticks, you're not really afraid of anything. I wanted her to always have to think things through, and work for it if she wants to mimic that kind of strength and power.


Makes sense.
