Guess the character: I have taken care of Juliet ever since she was little, and I am the only one that Juliet trusts enough to talk about Romeo with. I helped Juliet get together with Romeo without anyone knowing. Who am I?

@DylanManalang That sounds like a really interesting character. What book is this character from? Also, why was he in prison and how did he escape if no one else before him could?
Hi @sabaatahir, I am reading your series An Ember in the Ashes in my English class for this unit, and I have really enjoyed reading it. I was wondering, what inspired you to write this series? Also, how did you come up with the unique names of some of the characters, like Keenan?
@RyanSo51360760 The Masks are the descendants of the people that took over the Scholar, or original, Empire half a century ago and have gone to a military school for 14 years and then graduated with a mask molded to their skin. They hold power above Scholars and are the highest rank of society.
In the book that I’m reading, An Ember in the Ashes, my favorite character is Laia. She lives with her older brother and grandparents, and when her older brother is taken by the Masks of the Empire, she is forced to join the Resistance, which are the rebels. #mhhsfreshies
@sscoffield1 I really like having a female protagonist because even though in many books there are girl leaders, they are usually sidekicks to the main male character. There is a male protagonist in this book too, but they are both equally important.
She manages to survive the Commandant’s wrath, which has killed many of the previous slaves, and when the only people she trusted betray her, she takes it into her own hands to save not only her brother, but also everyone that is trying to escape the tight hold of the Empire.
She goes through many hardships, like getting a K carved above her heart with a hot knife, she manages to not lose hope. She wants to be brave, just like her mother, who the Resistance called The Lioness.
