Do you consider how your MCs appearance may contribute to stereotypes?
Yes. Not only their appearance but their personality and hobbies and such as well. I’m playing with paranormal stereotypes a bit in this book, but even though they’re paranormal beings, Im being very careful about stereotypes, and trusting my betas to call out anything I miss.
