not the shiny kind
Foil: noun, associated with plays or dramatic productions;
-term used for two characters that have the same background, are of similar age, and are faced with the same situation; except that their characteristics and reactions oppose to the point of mirroring their paired character. Sometimes used in order to define a certain character by showing what he/she wouldn't do.
Antigone's foil was Ismene, Hamlet's foil was Laertes, and Luke's foil is Han. (solo... Han solo...)
My foil is Surfer K.
-both raised in Texas before moving to San Diego
-from divorced/re-married parents (step siblings included)
-have a strong interest in writing/English (both hate math)
-both of our closest siblings are males in their mid twenties
From here on out, we come to a mirror. Surfer K is more the timid, nice girl, that is predominately shy and has no real self confidence. Wizeup (that would be me) is more opinionated and stubborn, especially when it comes to decisions. Both of us have an anti-social streak, but for her it's because she is slave to her fiancee and homework. For me, I'm slave to my independence, and strong will to be alone.
Now, as for which character (wizeup or surfer k) is the one who's noble characteristics are defined by her twin's dastardly deeds, I don't know so much. Neither of our lives are perfect, nor are they detectably depressing (alliteration is my friend!) but they're defined by differing aspects. So I leave it up to the readers.
Surfer K or Wizeup?
Third party option: neither
