Three Fantasy Characters that have inspired my WIP
Willow Rosenberg from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She’s the inspiration behind my main character. Legolas from the LOTR movies and books. He’s the inspiration behind my second protagonist. Jacob Black from the Twilight series movies. He’s the inspiration for a minor character.
