À propos de ce contenu audio

Today, we’re discussing my main character and heroine of the Demon Cleaner series, Lillas Mikkinnan and the processes that I went through during her creation. This will be a two-part discussion to keep the episode from getting too long and my attention from splitting.

Like most fantasy writers, I grew up on comics, sci fi, Alice in Wonderland, etc. Lillas was born out of a one-line question in the 90’s cartoon X-Men. There’s a scene where the team is in Africa (I think). Storm is about to divorce her asshole husband or boyfriend (not T’Challa. Some other guy who was fucking up.) Before she gets to that, this man sends a stampede to attack the X-Men. They don’t realize that’s what’s happened. Beast asks, “Has Storm added earthquakes to her repertoire?” That’s when I got the idea to create a character that can do earthquakes while manipulating other elements.
