Oliver is reckless, far too trusting, and can be oblivious. I like giving them opposite strengths and weaknesses because they're best friends. Also, my antagonist shares the same weaknesses as Avery, but flips them into strengths. I'm playing with how their places in society make this possible, and it's kind of fun. Character development is one of my favorite parts of writing.
