I hope you find them! I'm certain they'll be happy to meet a fan.
[Oh, Byleth...]
And as for the characters... I'm not sure. The story was mostly on a whim when an idea came to me during the haze of sleep. A lot of romance stories are always about conventionally attractive people with inoffensive personalities - albeit embellished with a quirk or two to make them standout or interesting. I wanted to write something where- oh. Sorry, you're likely not interested in that.
In short, possibly. It depends on whether I feel there is more to tell about their story.
On the contrary, I'm fairly interested. Tell me. What was it that drew your attention to these personality types? How did these two in particular stand out from the rest that you saw fit to write your own take on a romance between them?
[ Because he absolutely does not see it!! and also, he lies. ]
[And, in fact, there was a long enough pause where it seemed like Byleth was going to leave it at that. Until:]
I'm drawn to rival relationships in general, as I can somewhat understand that dynamic thanks to my own experiences. As romance is somewhat of a foreign area for me, this allows me to understand the foreign from the angle of the familiar: that is, rival romances.
Additionally, due to certain experiences, I wanted to write something where those society would deem freakish or outcasts could experience love themselves. Most stories write their love interests as socially acceptable, and those that are outcast as those unable to be loved... why must that be so? I think it's not very fair. Even those deemed inhuman can feel, even if they have unbeating hearts.
