--Describe your most recent POV character’s most devastating moment.
Kevin Owens again, and oh gosh, there are so many. Kevin is the King of Devastating Moments, and can turn a moderately minor setback into an universe-destroying tragedy. I would say probably losing the highest title in the business to a much older guy in about 30 seconds, that would have really upset him.
In my own writing... hey, know what really messes with one's ability to write fic of Kevin's character making out with the character his RL best friend plays? Having my gif-making Twitter account followed on Twitter by Kevin. And then his aunt. And his father. Luckily the line between the gif side of my fannish experience and the fic side of my fannish experience is pretty firm, and it's really delightful to know he likes my gifs! It just means I'm spending a lot of time staring at a blinking cursor and muttering "It's his character, not him. You'll keep it locked. You can do this. OH GOD HIS DAD FOLLOWS ME ON TWITTER." /o\ Wish me luck with this very, very weird case of writer's block, friends. I hope your fannish experience is less tumultuous right now!

Rorden's most devastating moments are either his possession and subsequent murder of his uncle, the arrest that followed, or hearing the news of his homeland's fall.
Sian's had a better life than the others. His natural mother died giving birth to Lyrican so he doesn't remember her loss enough to be deeply devastated by it, so his first love abandoning him is his most devastating moment.
Mary's, obviously, was the death of her grandparents. She lost her mother at birth and her father abandoned her to her grandparents' care so she has no other great losses or pains on her record.
