hello! I need some writing/story advice. you see, I'm writing a thing and I'm a sucker for the parent/adopted kid trope, especially if the kid's not used to being cared for and slowly warms up to affection. But, in this case, I don't know how to make the characters encounter each other. The mentor figure is a 28-year-old hedgewitch who gives potions to the townspeople and grows produce to sell at the market. She's not a big fan of relationships after being screwed over when she was young and is single by choice (and because she lives alone in a cottage in the woods). Meanwhile, the kid is Felicity, a character I've played here before and I wanted to give her a good ending to her story. A witch adopting a zombie child? Adorable. But Felicity avoids people if she can because she's terrified of what they might do to her as an undead, and she is even more adverse to accepting help. Somehow it got drummed into her little head that attention and care spent on her are wasted because she's already dead and all.
So how do I start the story? I'm stumped
first, figure out the personalities of your characters, from there figure out what situations they go through regularly, if there's no way to make them meet reasonably, eg, too separated lifestyles, make an event that brings them together. I'm making a story, my main character meets his friends after he falls from the sky in a secluded corner of a continent. I don't know what you're looking for in your story, but expound upon a prominent detail, maybe her being a zombie started a panic that pushed the characters together
if it's any consolation, my story started on the same block; after the beginning, however, it should go a little smoother

On the subject of changing pfp's, I was thinking of doing it myself...but what to? Maybe another cool Drizzt picture or something...Or maybe a fanart picture of Gandalf fighting the Balrog...Let me know if you have ideas!!!
My current pfp is my drawing of my character Arronlion's sword. He is the protagonist of a book I hope to write...or make a movie from...or even a video game !!! Anyway, I am terrible at art so it is very poorly drawn, and isn'tworthy of representing his amazing blade whose history and lore I have come to really enjoy. I need a new picture...I think so anyway.

I have made a huge homebrew setting that I am still working on putting here in DDB. Please give me feedback, I want to know all of what I am doing wrong, and what I am doing right. The thread is a huge work in progress, so everything in it from content to layout is subject to change. Please check this forum:Welcome to Zionderia
Also I have a fun thread that explores an idea about dreams based off the movie Inception. I still need to add the link but stay tuned.

Yknow some people literally would draw a long line and a small line across the bottom if you asked them to draw a sword, it ain’t that bad.

Well, thank you! I have never been much a good artist, and sometimes I wonder what I AM good at. I think that really comes down to maybe story writing and creativity, but I don't have any skills or resources to really bring them to life. That is why I appreciate D&D so much. But yeah...have any ideas or should I just leave it? (I am not making this a big deal, I am just curious)

Could you post a picture of the sword if you’re asking for advice on that?
If you mean about a new pfp I haven’t changed mine in forever so I’m not really an expert on that
