To help me get back into the zone of writing about Jax, Shannon, Darius, and Penny, I decided to create a collage of pictures for each character. My aim was to capture a little bit about who they are and what's important to them.

Jax

• Magic is a major part of how he sees himself and the rest of the world(s)
• His Sygnus is a seven-pointed star
• He's a bit of a rebel
• He lives in a house much more suited to his father's taste and personality than his own
• His trip down the winding staircase to the Mabre House portal room when he visited our world in daylight was the beginning of the Legacy of Androva series
• His magical connection with Shannon will be threatened in book seven

Shannon

• Becoming a magician gave her confidence she never thought herself capable of
• She is the most powerful underage magician for several generations
• The living magic in the woodland next to her house saved her life
• She only had to take Portal Remedies for the first five times she travelled through a portal. She adjusted very fast
• She is a bookworm through and through
• Purple is her favourite colour

Darius

• His friends are everything to him
• His Sygnus is an arch with jagged lines through the centre of it
• He is the voice of reason in his friendship with Jax, though he was unable to talk Jax out of that first fateful trip to our world
• He is usually careful to follow the Code--the rules imposed by the Androvan Council
• He invented the spells that enabled mobile phones to be used on Androva
• His father works as a custodian in the Repository of Records

Penny

• Her force field is not the strongest, but she is the most creative underage magician of the four
• She is famous for her Illusion Spells, including a very life-like horse she once created with a combination of water and magical energy
• She hated school until she started attending the Seminary of Magic
• It took her ages before she was brave enough to open a portal on her own
• She loves dragons
• She has a love/hate relationship with her curly hair and straightens it most days

These were so much fun to make 😊
If you are a writer, have you ever made a collage of images to illustrate one of your characters? Did it help you with your writing? Thank you very much for reading today's post!
