Inthebackground Stories

~On hiatus~ Liz lives in a world where, when you turn 16, your story and your role are chosen for you by the government, and she's fine with that. Never had a problem with it. She'll be a background character, and leave the plot to the main character. But when she meets a mysterious boy named Ferret, her perspective begins to change, and everything she's ever known to be true has started shaking because of it. And as soon as Liz, now going by the alias of Safiyah Everleigh, has started settling in, never before heard of things start happening in her story. Or...have they happened before? A revolt is starting, strong characters at the head. And Liz has to balance rising to the challenge, living in a malfunctioning story, and not overplaying her role all at once. #3 in backgroundcharacter (August 24th 2022) #262 in femalelead (September 18th 2022)

My name is... Oh it doesn't matter.. No one notices me anyways. I'm always in the background all the time, never noticed... And I know how to change that..

Many people wish for their own story. They wish for their own happy ending. In doing so, they create a colossal wave of events that somehow makes them the main character. Now, being the main character is the best thing ever. No one wants a supporting or background role. They want the lead. For some reason, any role other than the main is utter trash. And I find that quite offensive. Yes, I am a background character. Does it suck? At times. Am I okay with it? Of course. Even though I don't have my own heart-wrenching story, or whatever, I enjoy my life. In this piece of literature, that I have composed in my laboratory (the blessed library), I shall tell the tales of my life. I shall rivet thee with the things I have witnessed. Because there can definitely be happiness in the background.
