What I think WoF does really well with its protagonists is creating characters that readers can relate to. I think each and every one is shaped in a way where somebody can heavily resonate with at least one. It could be the shy and anxious characters like Moon, Turtle, and Cricket. It could be the more firey and lively characters like Tsunami and Glory, who aren't afraid to speak their mind. Even characters like Winter, Peril, Sundew, Snowfall, Luna, etc I find people heavily relating to.
Which I find quite nice. A lot of the themes and messaging around WoF is that of anti-war and standing up for what's right, but also with how friends really help you a lot. A lot of the characters grow and learn to be better through forming friendships with other outcasts. They form their own tight bond, where they care and support one another. It's hard to see a character whose arc wasn't impacted by forming a bond with another person. That they can, and should, be themselves and that they're at their best when they're okay. The power of friendship and all, yeah, but I find it sweet
"Papa! Papa! Look! I drew you a picture." Harry called as little feet scurried across the entry way.
Regulus looked up from his desk in the family room, and turned in his chair just in time for his little boy to crash into his legs and flop a picture in his lap.
"Wow! C'est magnifique!" Regulus praised.
Pudgy little hands pointed to the people coloured on the page. "C'est moi, et toi, and dad, and look look le petit chien!" Harry jumped around as he spoke.
"I think this one should go on the fridge, yes?" James called from the doorway, where he was leaning against the frame.
Regulus picked up Harry and nodded. "Yes I think so," he said as they walked towards the kitchen. "Mon fils l'artiste," he added and Harry smiled brightly.
"How was the rest of your day, love?" Regulus asked as he set Harry on the counter and put the drawing on the fridge with a little star magnet.
Harry rambled on about playing outside and learning a new sharing song and how he got to be line-leader today, as they started to prepare dinner together.
Regulus listened and nodded along, but couldn't help but think about how he and James had the chance to raise a little human and support him in whatever he wanted to do. There would be no squashing dreams, and here he got to celebrate pictures of their family and whatever it meant to do the happy-chart and revel in the joy that filled his son and poured over into his own heart.
