Thank you for the very expansive critique, Vin! It's given me a lot to think about and consider.

In terms of Airmid, I'm going to try to expand everything in her diary, when I get around to it! It'll be set quite early in the year, following the events of Legacy Day, so it'll have her opinions about the RvR conflict, a bit about friendships, also a ton about the origin of Dead Epics. Basically, Airmid's just a really fun character to explore. I will try to elaborate more on her relationship with Death in that, too! (And with the sibling thing, it's purely just destiny business. Death's supposed to take in the 13th child of a poor, suffering family to raise/mentor.)

Now, with Branches~

I am really really glad you caught the comparison between Mac and Marl, and Iccy and Avvy! Their family dynamic is really enjoyable to write, and I'm working on making it realistic while still capturing the Ever After High-sque nature of the world.

I was trying to be a bit experimental in Chapter Six, so I'm glad to hear what went well and what didn't! I do enjoy writing second person, but third is definitely more comfortable with me~

As for Polynices, you're going to love him. I hope. I'm trying to make him loveable and I really want to tell people about him without spoiling anything, which is really annoying.

I will be continuing along with Branches! Hopefully it'll be one of my major projects in this fandom, and I'm really excited to see how this all ends~

As for more character development, I did end up writing a small piece from Icarus' perspective. I haven't posted it on the Wikia yet (though I will soon!) and it's a bonus chapter from Branches called Threads. Here it is!
