'Esteban Of Avalor' character listing

Esteban Of Avalor is a bit of a jokey placeholder name that I've been using for my EoA fics. Anyways, some of these entries, like King Felipe's existence, will probably clash with canon. I don't know if Avalor's early rulers (I'm not talking about the Maruvians) were ever touched on or not. This list will be updated whenever a new character of note is introduced.

 

~ Humans ~

Ana: Twenty-something serving girl in the Castillo-Flores household.

 

Antonio: Teenaged stable hand in the Castillo-Flores household.

 

Don Jorge Benevente-Ruiz: Old friend of Francisco's; nobleman who owns a large cacao farm. Father of Rodolfo.

King Felipe I: Avalor's first king. Elena, Isabel, and Esteban's ancestor.

 

Marta: Elderly nursemaid of the Castillo-Flores. Deceased.

 

Father Martinez: Catholic priest who served as chaplain to the Castillo-Flores family when Esteban was younger and who oversaw the royal chapel. Deceased.

 

Don Rodolfo Benevente-Ruiz: Avalor's current Minister of Finance. Son of Jorge Benevente-Ruiz and a childhood acquaintance of Elena, Esteban, and Isabel's. Married to a woman named Inez and the father of three (Santiago, Juan Pablo, and Leonore).

 

Tomas Delgado: The former Chief Royal Treasurer and father of Victor Delgado. Also Carla's paternal grandfather.

 

Sancho: Esteban's valet; older man who suffers from muteness.

~ Animals and other creatures ~ 

 

Arpegiar: Esteban's horse, a Spanish Andalusian gelding.

Atrevido: A horse owned by a younger Esteban; died from natural causes.

Here's what's up:

Firstly, fics will not be publicly posted until they're mostly if not entirely complete. What brought this decision on was my reading the user page of a certain FF.net author and agreeing with her thoughts about posting in a timely matter for readers. Seeing how my thoughts and ideas have actually garnered the interest of other fans has been both interesting and exciting for me, and I want to be able to finish more fics for them to enjoy. 

TL;DR: Sometime ago I decided that I didn't like making readers wait months on end for fic updates/or completion. So stories will be posted when they're done. It'll take longer, but will pay off in the end. :)

As for this blog, I will be re-posting relevant posts (story/setting lore, other info of note) here when I can. Also, last week a bad thunderstorm threw my computer's hard drive out of whack and I had to get it repaired (BTW, I cannot stand computer repairmen because I have yet to meet an actual nice one). Prior to that whole disaster I felt my writing had been moving along at a nice clip, and I could see both respective plots playing out in my imagination.

In other news, this is something I didn't really go into a lot of detail about before, but I've decided to just go ahead and do a proper AU of Sonic The Hedgehog called Sonic And The Guardians Of Acorn. This does mean I won't be working on anything Knight Errand-related anymore. My sincerest apologies to people who were invested in that setting -- I love that folks enjoyed the story so much -- but it was becoming too much of a headache to try and explain away all of Archie's plot holes, figure out why X was Y or why those particular characters had been separated from their families, etc (and KE was supposed to be sort of a melding of Archie and SatAM with AU elements). By comparison, working on S&TGOA has been vastly easier and more fun as well. 

S&TGOA will be a hard reboot, so none of this "oh, I have memories of the other timeline!" junk like in New Wave Genesis (IMO, if you're gonna reboot something, then just cut the strings and properly reboot it already). I have a character lineup done, and have written some basic profiles for Dr. Robotnik and most of his crew. I'm on the fence about whether or not I should include Thunderbolt the chinchilla in with them... might be funny for Agent Stone to have a rival for "world's biggest Robotnik simp".

Argh

That feel when you know you have a really good idea for a one-shot, but have no clue how to even approach writing it out...

But I seem to have trouble writing one-shots these days anyway.
