Kathryne Kennedy said:
My favorite heroine always seems to be the last one I wrote about, which in this case, is from the final short story in my collection. Maybe it’s because she’s so fresh in my mind. Kalaka, an apprentice shaman in my arctic world of magic and monsters, is so single-minded in her determination. She’s the kind of girl who goes after what she wants…even if what she wants might not be the right man for her. (How many women have fallen in love with the wrong man? And sometimes it takes a while for them to finally admit it. It’s usually a growing-up process.) But at first, Kalaka doesn’t know he’s not the right man for her, and her journey to discover the truth changes her in ways all for the better. The perfect soulmate for her fortunately comes along, and yet her loyalty to the man who’s just not quite right for her, makes her hold on to that love, even while it’s fading. But when she’s confronted with truths about herself, she gives them thought. She reaches inside herself to see what is good and what is bad. And she changes her mind, sets a new course, and stays loyal to it.
Some may see her as stubborn, and loyalty can often be stubborn. But she’s willing to change when confronted with the truth, and I like that about Kalaka. She can admit she’s wrong. She can change the direction of her life. Her determination is admirable to me, but her willingness to evolve is what makes her one of my favorite heroines. I have to admire such courage and bravery. And if I was young and single, I would surely want her to be a matchmaker to find my perfect soulmate. I’d like to be her friend or her sister, because I know it would take a lot for her to turn her back on me, because she’s so very loyal and determined. Her courage would slay any enemies, take on any challenges.
My characters are rarely modeled after anyone I know, although I may borrow some of my character’s traits from people I know. But they are always people I would want to know.
