The coolest thing about The Weaver Awakes is the balance of perspectives which, collectively, show the breadth of human nature. (And isn't fiction especially cool for this and other reasons?)
I recall learning, a long time ago, that all the characters in Winnie the Pooh represent mental health "disorders" from obsessive compulsion to hyperactivity to anxiety and more.
Sometimes I think about this when I read Weaver, and while I wouldn't qualify any character as an archetype of a disorder, it's fun to think about what they could represent on the larger scale.
I did not know that about Winne the Pooh! Fascinating. I love learning little tidbits like that.
Callie, I knew first, and she had an edge to her that took some time to sort out. In fact, there's a word I had in mind when writing her, and pride isn't so far off; though recently I've learned I dipped a toe in mythology I didn't plan on in regard to said word. Oh the reveals in hindsight!
Would love to know your thoughts regarding representation for the other characters as well. :)

For me, Callie may be a representation of pride.
