There's the main family, which consists of a father[Arthur], a mother[Aideen], three sons[from eldest to youngest; Devlin, Liam, and Sloan] and a youngest/only daughter[Astrid].
I chose each name for its meaning and how it fit the character I wanted to portray;
~Arthur means "nobel strength or a bear" in Celtic
~Aideen means "flame" in Celtic
~Devlin means "brave or fierce" in Celtic
~Liam means "determined guardian" in Celtic
~Sloan means "warrior" in Celtic
~Astrid means "unusual beauty and strength" in Scandinavian
Astrid's is the only name so far that is not Celtic. The sons' names reflect Arthur's attitude toward how he wants his sons to turn out, but he is angery with Aideen for having a daughter and refuses to name her or even acknowledge that she is his. So Aideen gives Astrid her name.
Each family member also has a dragon, because in this society, anyone who's anyone has a dragon. So, Arthur's dragon is Brogan["sturdy and strong"], Aideen's dragon is Kira["dark lady"], Devlin's dragon is Hogan["youth"], Liam's dragon is Taban["genious"], Sloan's dragon is Renny["compact strength"], and Astrid's dragon is Kiara["small and dark"].
Since Arthur has practically disowned Astrid as his daughter, Aideen used her own stash of money to buy Astrid's dragon.
Each dragon is the same gender as it's owner.
Some other characters are Rafer[Arthur's father], Riley[Aideen's mother], Fenella[Aideen's sister], Enya[Aideen's best friend], Edan[Arthur's brother], Neal[Arthur's best friend], and Reagan[Astrid's friend]. At least so far... All the sons will have a group of friends that they bully around with, but all the names haven't been decided as of yet.
So, the story is about Astrid's life. How her mother is the only one who loves her, her brothers just pick on her and her dragon all the time, her father won't even look at her, and her mother isn't allowed to acknowledge that Astrid exsists while Arthur is around anyway. Kind of like a twisted Cinderella story... I guess
There will be a point where Astrid finally runs away[when she's very young, but I don't know for sure the age... like I said, there's bits and pieces of the story, but no line]. She's had no training with any weapons as her brothers have, other than a small amount of dagger training from her mother. Her dragon has not been properly trained either, and she hasn't packed enough food or anything to last her very long. She ultimately resorts to begging because no one respects young, well-trained boys, let alone a young, ill-trained girl.
Yeah... That's about as far as I have the story running. There's more ideas, but, as I said twice before, there's no line in this story... None of them are linked together.
What do you think?? Any ideas?? PLEASE COMMENT!
