Matching TERMINALLY YOURS characters to TADC characters 😳😳👀👀
Characters from my next novel TERMINALLY YOURS (which I’m currently writing!) pls go to my page for more info & f0llow for more updates and previews!!
TERMINALLY YOURS is told in alternating perspectives.
Abbie is dying, and she knows it. She’s sick and is just waiting on the testing to confirm what she already knows: cancer.
But her parents are the only ones who knows she’s sick. She’s terrified, but she doesn’t want to hurt her friends— so she’d rather push them away and escape into her own world of reading books and watching YouTubers, like Life_Of_Ember.
Life_Of_Ember is a girl named September Harvey, or “Ember” for short. She’s a blue-haired comet of a girl who struggles severely with Borderline Personality Disorder. She’s impulsive, moody, and CAN’T seem to get over her ex-girlfriend…
Until she meets Abbie. The two girls meet in a chance encounter and have an instant connection.
Of course, Ember doesn’t know that Abbie already knows her, and watches her videos every night. OR that she’s in the process of dying.
And Abbie doesn’t know that Ember isn’t the person she pretends to be on camera, that she’s has a raging personality disorder, OR that she’s about to turn her life upside-down.
While she’s still alive, anyway.

TERMINALLY YOURS offers a fascinating look at the lives of complex characters facing profound challenges. Abbie, who is quietly battling cancer, represents the silent struggle many endure while seeking to protect loved ones from pain. Her introversion and tendency to isolate mirror real emotional responses to terminal illness. On the other hand, September "Ember" Harvey vividly portrays the raw and tumultuous experience of living with Borderline Personality Disorder. The blue-haired influencer's impulsivity and mood swings highlight the real-life complexity behind mental health struggles that are often misunderstood or stigmatized. Connecting these two characters creates a dynamic narrative about vulnerability, connection, and the masks people wear. For example, the OCR-extracted character traits—such as Maddel hiding insecurities behind a mask or Sam always trying to be a good friend but feeling inadequate—add layers that many readers can relate to from personal experience or observation. As someone who has followed similar stories, I find this portrayal deeply resonates because it doesn't shy away from uncomfortable truths. The depiction of Abbie's secrecy about her illness and Ember's struggles demonstrates how people often cope by retreating into digital worlds or forms of escapism, like watching YouTubers or engaging in fandoms. Meanwhile, the mention of TADC characters like Hailey "TheOneThatGotAway" and Diego being sensible yet caring enriches the story universe, offering readers multiple perspectives on friendship, love, and personal growth. Overall, TERMINALLY YOURS blends real human emotions and digital-age storytelling to create an immersive experience that prompts reflection on life, illness, and identity. Watching characters evolve through alternating perspectives encourages empathy and understanding, especially about topics such as chronic illness and mental health conditions like BPD. As the novel is still in progress, staying updated through the author's page is a great way to witness these characters’ journeys unfold and see how fictional stories can mirror real-life emotional landscapes.
