When I first started my current WIP the story was about a guy who returns to his small hometown after getting fed up with big city life. He comes back to find that a girl he like has had her life totally turned upside down by a violent crime commited shortly after the MC had left said small town.
I debated long and hard about telling a chapter or three from the viewpoint of the girl/victim. I had originally hoped to have her be something of an enigma, both for the MC and the reader (since it's told in 3rd person limited).
I finally decided to write from her perspective and she just keeps getting more interesting and having more vital interactions with various characters in the story.
I used to read posts with people saying their MC changed and read them with, I guess, mild disbelief. Now I get it
