Question

Hello! 27 points for this!!

Is this a good character arc its supposed to be a positive arc

My character Zoe's lie or want would be believing that her father abandoned her, her mother died but Zoe didn't really know how her mom died. Her father told her that her mother was a beautiful and great woman. but she was diagnosed with a deadly disease. She spends the first half of the story believing that. She believed her father would never come back for her, and so she needed to work to pay the pills at a very young age. she lost sleep because of this. She worked both jobs as a baker and inventor just to get some money for groceries and to pay rent. she worked day and night As she grew more and more sleep deprived over time. she only had one friend at the time and that was Camlia. or as she nicknamed, Cam. The both would talk whenever they could. People didn't realize the stress Zoe was under. not even Cam. And she refused to talk about it. She was bitter, rude, closed-off, and overall, not a very kind character. because she believes her own father abandoned her

Zoe's need would be finding out her father went missing to keep her safe from the main Antagionist Pitch, Pitch killed Zoe's mother. and He clearly stated Zoe and her father were next. So Zoe's father ran away despite only being able to be with Zoe for a short time. this let Zoe survive. Zoe get some hints that her father may didnt have want to leave her in the first place, and overall didn't abandon her.

The final/3rd act of the story would be Zoe refusing the lie and finally believing the truth. Her father loved her, but he had to leave so she could live. And that her mother was killed, she didnt die from a disease. At the end, She learns to love her parents again. She becomes more friendly and kind towards her new friends, She takes out the washable dye out of her hair so she remember her father a part of her when she looks at herself in the mirror.

Answer 1

Yes, this is a good character arc. Zoe's character arc shows her growth from being bitter, rude, and closed-off to becoming more friendly and kind. Her need to find out the truth about her father and mother is a great way to show her character development. At the end of the story, Zoe learns to love her parents again, which is a positive character arc.
