Chapter 4--and notes · 10:39am Sep 16th, 2015
Chapter 4 done and published. Some things: I made a new character for the purpose of the story, Octavia Beat. No, she's just a regular human. She is however just as twisted as Adagio and Aria are, which makes her the perfect new member to their group. This is to contrast her as well to Sonata, who despite being a former member of their group has not been totally corrupted. That is why the last scene in the canteen has so much symbolism--how Sonata has grown when she offers her taco to Pinkie, and how their group dynamic is different from the previous one seen in the new Dazzlings. The Dazzlings are in it for their own selves, and even new member Octavia can be seen as having that same selfish attitude, which ironically irks Adagio.
Edit--I'm keeping the original note above, but darn I realized that there's already an Octavia character and she's canon, so no I will have to change the name of the new Dazzling to Crescenda, in keeping with the musical term names by which the Dazzlings are known. Now, if there is a Crescenda canon name...
I like how you chose Cresenda, that's symbolic as well. Adagio means slow, so even though she has tricks up her sleeve, she takes careful time and planning to make sure it's done right. Cresenda is loud and doesn't play by anyone's rules.
3396977 Thanks! Yes, great that you caught that--there is a contrast between Crescenda and Adagio, as can be seen. They're also not exactly the best of friends, either, as Crescenda will get on Adagio's nerves often.
