Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel chapter 4.1 (wip)

Mira continued to stare at Giovanni for the moment, but with each passing second, her gaze became more and more gentle and compassionate. Abraham and Giovanni were now setting the table with another place set for their guest to join them for lunch. Mira watched the two friends work together, almost like father and son or big and little brothers. Mira struggled from time to time during this observation not to picture the two friends as a knight in shining armor and his small elf-like comrade. Her imagination was on overload and she didn’t know why. She hadn’t yet decided what exactly the dynamic of their relationship was, but she had an idea that the old man was the one with all the lavish provisions.

Tea and Conversation 04: Giovanni

Today I’m sharing a picture of my tea box uploaded onto Pinterest.

Today in my meditation on the Eternal Curse, I’m writing about: Why Giovanni?

There are so many reasons why Giovanni is the main character of my Eternal Curse Series. First off, there’s the dream. I had a dream about a gray man and for some reason, I felt like his name began with the letter ‘G’. I tried out several different names, but when I came across Giovanni, it just felt right.

Secondly, the meaning of his name means God is gracious. Now, I had no idea of this when I started using the name and completed my first draft. I figured this out much later. Once you’ve read the story, it’s quite clear that Giovanni must be walking in some kind of grace, whether it be God’s or not. His character, as strange and dark as he is, doesn’t make it through life in one piece without some kind of luck or grace on his side.

Lastly, he’s somewhat of a mutt, in the best possible way. There are other characters in the series that are just as interesting as Giovanni, but only he really has all the qualities that bring the rest characters together either through companionship, association, competition, or opposition.

Abraham-bkRorschach Testroshack

This is not a real Rorschach test, but simply a fun little additive to the whole character profile motif.

Subject EC:GA 1-Abraham describe test image #1 as:

A fair maiden with long flowing hair dancing under the moonlight waiting for her lover to join her.

Subject does not display a mental imbalance, but does tend to romanticize situations. He does however make an effort to play devil’s advocate to keep himself grounded. He could be very influential and thus could pose a danger. For now, he seems harmless.
