I was talking about theme songs yesterday. Let's continue on shall we? Again, there are going to be spoilers, so read at your own risk.






Ulrich-Desperately Wanting by Better Than Ezra. Ulrich and Cassie have a history that spans over two hundred years. She's been part of his life for such a long time, he doesn't really know life without her. This song made me think of him, desperately wanting that time back again.

Cassie-Somewhere I Belong by Linkin Park. Imagine that your life is defined by your position, then that position is taken away and you have the chance to do whatever you want to do. Would you take it? Cassie did, at the expense of her relationship with Ulrich.

Their relationship-Battlefield by Jordin Sparks. If there were ever two people who have to fight to keep it together, it's Ulrich and Cassie. He feels betrayed by her actions, she feels like she'll never be able to compete with his sense of duty. Love is truly a battlefield and they are both getting their armor.

Roan-Blurry by Puddle of Mudd. I can't wait for you all to meet Roan. He's my favorite new character because he is tortured. He doesn't know where he comes from, he just knows he's here. For someone so lost, he's got a protective side. He doesn't want to lose anything else. It doesn't hurt that he also can sing and play guitar.

Sephanie-Hysteria by Muse. Sephanie is another one of those characters that I'm excited to introduce. She's amazingly smart and sure of herself. Hysteria defines her loosely. She has no control over what happens to her in the beginning of the first OWR (Order of the White Rose) and she's thrown into a world she didn't even know existed. Regardless, she wants to break out.

Their relationship-I'd Come For You by Nickelback. Roan and Sephanie share a true, pure, passionate love. When it's tested, Roan will stop at nothing to save Sephanie's life.

It's nice to have theme songs for characters. It helps me get in their heads and make them real. In your own life, don't you have a song that you feel defines moments of your life? It's no different for characters in your novels.
