“From Monochrome to Vibrancy” Extra Notes

Hello! I’m back again with “From Monochrome to Vibrancy” content. Since I shared all of the chapters I wrote for my unfinished story, I’ve decided to give you guys a better grasp of what I had planned if I had continued writing the story. This may be the last post I make about Monochrome, unless I take to writing it again or draw the characters.

Most of these mini-plots were written around 2017-18 when I was in high school. Looking at them now with a more mature mind, there are definitely some I would scrap or alter. Those I would scrap will be highlighted in red. The rest are extra notes I had about the story that I wanted to share.

Lyra then tells her to get on stage and perform even though her classmates are the only ones in the auditorium. She sings and as she does Dinari appears to watch. (January)

Dinari and Arcene- Teased. They don’t ever date or kiss ,but some of their interactions are a bit intimate so they have a romantic friendship. 

Primrose and Kaage: Primrose gains a crush on Kaage rather quickly. Kaage, being a dating sim character has had to fall in love with same person over and over again in following the rules of the game. He is resistant to her attempts at courtship at first but eventually views the relationship as a chance to fall in love with someone he chose. They get together within the school year.

Lyra and Napsta- They both share a love of music. She’s outgoing, he’s shy. However, she is very friendly, if not a bit flirty,so he warms up to her.
