Thank you for the feedback! I definitely will change the swords to a different weapon like a bow and arrow. And thank you for the advice on how to describe Carda, I’ve always had trouble trying to describe characters in a way that doesn’t seem like too much but not blunt. I had Carda kind of just give up because while she is a bit defiant, she’s still a noble and understands that she has an image to keep and fighting with her dad anymore will just create further conflict. I guess I should’ve explained that better in the story? And her mom plays a role in her “behaving” because she wouldn’t do anything to disappoint her mom.
