For the next few weeks, let's do some character studies! Grab the last character whose POV you were writing in and (if you feel like it) answer this:

What do you know about this character now that s/he doesn’t yet know?

Let's see, my most recent POV character is wrestler Sami Zayn, and it's a fairly short hurt/comfort piece, so there's not a lot of suppressed self-awareness (also Sami is a pretty darn self-aware character!) He's telling himself that he's helping his former tag partner and current enemy get cleaned up and shaved just so he'll pull out of his depression and keep his job, but what he doesn't know is that he actually kind of just wants to see his friend beardless because it reminds him of happy days before they fell out.

(This is an oddly complicated answer for a simple story! How about you?)
