The Character Files 02. Our Favorite Golden Deer   Hello everyone! And welcome to The Character Files , a weekly article that delves into analysis's of popular characters! Last week, I covered Katniss Everdeen, from the Hunger Games. Now, after roughly a hundred hours of playing Fire Emblem: Three Houses , I’ll be covering the Embodiment of Distrust himself, Claude von Riegan. Just a head’s up, there’ll be spoilers for Three Houses, especially meaning only, since I haven’t finished the other routes yet for the Golden Deer/Verdant Wind route. ¡M┴Ⅎ ɹǝǝp uǝploפ From the Prologue of Three Houses A Mysterious Past “After all, you’re easily the student with the most secrets… Who is your father?

Writing can be difficult sometimes, and the journalists of the YWP understand that fully. Thus, every Sunday, a new writing prompt will be uploaded here to provide you with inspiration! Prompt: You're a pretty regular person living in what you think is a pretty regular world. Every once and a while when you're in a public place you like to do a thing: you think "If you're a mind reader and you can hear me, I see you!" You always laugh at yourself whenever you do it, it's so silly right? But one day after you've thought it you notice someone staring right at you with huge, surprised eyes. They turn and run. Quirk: They're never seen without chewing gum.
