Are things moving too fast for you or too much of a clusterf***k? You've mentioned that you have been confused more than once.
What OK and I had in mind for the characters follows the 8 classic archetypes that show up in all stories. These will obviously become more in depth as time goes on.
The Hero (he who must face death and come into his own power) Gin
The Shadow (he who embodies the dark and villainous sides of the hero) Letum Highrule
The Shapeshifter (the love interest who shows the hero the other side of things) For Gin: Could be W'Saylia. For Roland: It is Reggie. Prince Fred in general is this archtype since he views things from different povs all the time.
The Mentor (he who trains and guides the hero): Roland to most of the characters it seems.
The Ally (he who follows the hero and helps him out at certain stages) Hrum, W'Saylia, Reggie, the Princess.
The Trickster (he who never takes things seriously and cuts people down to size): Princess Sparkles, to a lesser extent Reggie and Roland.
The Herald (he who brings warnings to the hero and inspires him to begin his adventure): The war and then the dreams that Gin will have as the story progresses. Is also a character, but they will be revealed later.--->Is the narrator in the reddish color at the start of chapters.
The Guardian (he who stands in the way of the hero and must be overcome on the path): Is not the main antagonist of the plot. Currently there has not been one revealed.
