Like with the last two weeks, I'm doing a discussion post!

Cousins, what sorts of characters do you most like seeing explored in Young Wizards fanworks?

(I have a particular fondness for sentient technology/vehicles, but much of the variation featured in the series delights me. There's lots of conversational potential - and that includes 'in conversation with the original text'!)

I was thinking recently that I would be interested in seeing a story about someone who doesn't receive their Manual until they're middle-aged or even elderly. Someone who needs to go through a bunch of character development before they have enough wizardly aptitudes, and who then ends up navigating becoming a wizard without the power of youth.

That does sound like a situation where they'd need to have very specialized knowledge on something first, then an Ordeal that complemented those skills (while pairing it with the 'oh no, I need to rethink everything I believe about reality' paradigm shift).
