[stylist] DBG 7 (completely new chapter)

[helene ryles]

Thanks Shelley, Lora, David, Barbara, and Judith:

The only new character in chapter 7 is Mr Murrat (Nadia's father).
We already Know Nadia. This is the same girl that Liza rescues. Her
mother is Madrella who we meet in chapter 1, and is mentioned in most
of the other chapters. So this is not a differant family from that.
It's just being introduced at an earlier stage.

David: I'm sorry to contradict you but I'm a victim of domestic
violence myself and can testify that yes some people DO stay after
getting hurt by the people they love. I think if my partner had wanted
me to cut a leg off, I wouldn't have really put up much of a fight. As
it was I let this person help itself to my bank acount. I even stayed
after my life had been threatened. You may not believe me but that's
the truth of the matter.
Also my dad worked as a CAB worker and he met a woman who still loved
her husband even after he stabbed her and set fire to the house. Their
just isn't any way of rationalising love.
There are people who are so much in love with their abusive partners
that they will stay through just about anything. Even after cases
where their life has been threatened.

Barbara is right to suggest that Mr Murat is not a particularly strong
character. He is is love with Madrella.  He is also ashamed of his
ability to work magic. In fact he is so ashamed that he is in denial
which is why he tries to deny the spell he worked on Liza. Until after
the other spell, and he realises he can't just keep pretending he
can't work magic.
Liza is mad at having her voice taken away.

I'll make a list of all the main characters and share them with you.
I'll also produce a time line. Hope that helps solve confusion. There
will also be a glossary to explain various terms. I've already started
making it and any word you have problems with, just let me know.

Helene
