ALT Nine square photos in muted tones. A white woman from behind with a 19th-century-style bun, a tangle of ropes, female hands on a piano, a male hand drawing with charcoal, a broken cup on a windowsill, a closed curtain, seagulls against a cloudy sky, and a man standing in the distance on a lonely winter beach.

ALT screenshot of text that reads: "Why do you love your main character? I love my main character because of her quiet strength, bravery, and wry way of seeing the world. I love that she is not perfectly virtuous, and that she considers her own needs and desires rather than meekly conforming to the restrictive norms of her era. I love that she feels deeply loyal to the few people she cares fiercely about, and I love that she gradually learns to extend this same care to herself. Above all, I love that my main character isn’t the stereotypical ‘spunky heroine,’ but rather an introverted person who nevertheless lives her life with great passion and conviction. She speaks when it counts, and stands up for herself in her own powerful way."
