Characters Part Two

This post is a continuation of the last one. I will be talking more about the character development in School Wars: The Prophecy of Light. Next character on our list is the comic relief character, Rover Muller. Rover is definitely not the brightest character in the novel. He has came up with a lot of stupid moments now famously known as Rover Moments. Throughout the novel Rover met his soulmate, Maria, during the quest to Moonrise Light High School. When (spoiler alert) Maria got killed as the book progressed, Rover showed his angry side to the whole school. Rover really developed into an emotional character showing of glances of his anger throughout the book, while keeping his comic relief personality.


Another character who had a major character development was Marcus Wells. At the beginning of the book, Marcus is only known as the weapons and computer guy. Though he is still knowledgeable about weapons and computers, Marcus has turned into one of Danny's biggest allies. In the final moments before the climax of the book, Marcus was one of the few soldiers who supported Danny and Bruce during their speech. Marcus has developed into the most loyal character in the book.
Another character that has had character development is Bruce Chang Long. Bruce is an Asian who is instructed by The Fig to tell the prophecy to Danny. Bruce became wiser and wiser as the story progressed even after the prophecy was revealed. He like Jay was also an underrated soldier at Sunset Shadows. He trained Danny Starlight and turned him into a real soldier. Bruce has developed into one of the wisest character in the novel.


Characters Part One

The characters in School Wars: The Prophecy of Light are amazing. A lot of the characters in the book got great character development throughout the novel especially the main characters. For example, at the beginning of the book the main protagonist, Danny Starlight, was a little warrior with big dreams. Throughout the book Danny Starlight started getting developed into an amazing soldier. From his time as a little warrior to his time as a tracker, the reader can notice Danny's development. He became a soldier no one ever wants to pick a fight with especially after the final battle.
Another character whose character has been developed is the shadowy figure himself, JayTron or Jay Tron or just plain Jay. At the beginning of the book no one knew of the shadowy figure except for Bruce, Anthony, and Alec. All of the characters in the book indeed judged Jay badly, saying he was only a shadowy figure. Even Danny blamed Jay during the quest to Moonrise Light even though Jay wasn't part of the quest. Throughout the book Jay proved to the other characters that he is one of the best soldiers Sunset Shadows got. He showed his power during the second half of the book. The characters never judged Jay again after that.
Another character that got some character development is Travis Brodes. At the start of the novel Travis is just the vice president of the tracker program. Little was known about him. Throughout the novel we learned that Travis has a really big heart caring for all those around him. He was the one who witnessed the death of one of the character's love interest alongside Bayern. He comforted the character, Rover, after he told him that his love was gone. He also expressed his other self in a quest when tractors reunited his heart with farmers and cowboys.
