The Borg: Giving them all the same Voice; 5. The Forgotten: Failing to give them a purpose; 6. The Cheerful Idiot: Making them overconfident/impervious to setbacks; 7. The Juggernaut: The Single Personality Trait; 8. The Blob: Several characters doing the work of what should be one; 9. The Crazy Ivan: Forcing a sudden personality/loyalty shift/heel turn just for shock and drama; 10. The Non-Cheerful Idiot: Forcing your character to ignore what the reader sees as obvious.

Gorgeous bag!
Size: One Size, Color: Black
I love this bag. I bought it for essentials like wallet, sunglasses, phone and it fits everything nicely, maintaining its structured shape. The lining is gorgeous as is the outside. I like the adjustable strap as well with the chain embellishments. It is lightweight and it's clear that it will last. So far I've never been disappointed in MK products.

Love it! 😍
Size: One Size, Color: Brown/Acorn
This purse is perfect for summer or really any time of the year! If you’re looking for a light and beautiful purse, this is the one! I’m not put off by the nylon material at all. I’m a teacher and I have to carry a big work bag in addition to a purse so this is absolutely perfect. There’s enough room to fit my cosmetic bag, iPhone, and a few other things which is all I really need. Or if you just want a purse for a trip this is the perfect thing too.

Nice Purse
Size: One Size, Color: Gold-tone Hardware/Black, Size: One Size, Color: Gold-tone Hardware/Black
I loved this purse so much that I purchased a second one when the first one was worn out. The second one actually is a little longer by about an inch. My only complaint is the second one does not have a zippered pocket inside. But it’s a beautiful purse and great for traveling.
