One of my project is a series of vampire novels, the first book is about mixed race vampire. Her life, her turning, after her turning etc. I'm not having trouble with her but with the vampire that turns her. I've actually got a pretty good handle on my MC, Katherine.
Gabrielle, the vampire who turned her on the other hand not so much. I'm exceedingly thankful it's still in my outlining and brainstorming stage because of this.
My main character's father leaves his plantation to his business partner, the story takes place in the 1830's, when he dies. Simplicity would say make the business partner, Gabrielle white. But during the time periode my characters are living in, Creole people also went into business, owned land, and slaves etc.
I know it's my story, but I'm curious. What would you do? Would you take the "simpler" road( let's be honest, it wasn't only white people who owned slaves then. What would today be considered black people owned slaves sometimes if they were freemen.) or the more challenging one?
