Outline for Downward Spiral Novel

Well, I have some fantabulous non-novel related news!  I pulled it together and applied for college!  I have no idea if I'll get accepted, but they seem to take everyone so...let's just say if I'm rejected, I'll be super duper sad.  So, there's that.

Now on with the outlining.  Downward Spiral (please ignore the bad html work; my laptop froze on me right here) is the second novel in my currently-unpublished Caprice Ruelo trilogy and I honestly believe I can write it.  These are some names and notes I've written specifically for this novel, and I'd love to throw away the napkin I wrote them on, so here we go.

Names and Significance
Dakada: Caprice Ruelo/Caprice Dakaetri's biological mother.  Succubus and founder of an unnamed race of people.  Former buddy of Marria Salzana, evil queen of Escalli and two other planets (currently not sure which ones they are, but probably one is Baltian).  Formerly married to Zenaro (demon), currently living with Kaetrini (Caprice's "aunt", big, long, boring background history).  In and out of sanity for this entire novel.

Kaetrini:  Caprice Ruelo's "aunt"/stepmother if the rules of Escalli weren't so traditional.  Demon.  Slayer.  Quick to anger, even if you're Caprice/other family, so watch out.  Hates Marria, has an evening job that involves unraveling her rule.  Is always armed with some sort of weapon (will come up with what her favorite is).

Note: Caprice Ruelo is Caprice Ruelo from Zenaro Ruelo (in that lifetime, as well as Caprice Ruelo from Marcell Ruelo in a previous lifetime) and Caprice Dakaetri from a blended name of her biological and step mothers.  This is important later on.

Sansone: Caprice's human father.  Note that Caprice, as a cambion, has four parents.  Not particularly signifcant, other than a brief conversation with Caprice at a birthday/costume ball.

Nikolina: Caprice's human mother.  Snobby, had to be paid off to give birth to Caprice.  Gets eaten by a Snip Snip, and the world is so much better for it.

Eriko: Demon.  Met Caprice Ruelo in her borrowed life.  Is the entity that almost tempts Caprice to the side of evil just because he can.  Black hair with blonde streaks.  Torn black wings.  Dresses in tight clothes.  Nearly kills Caprice at a school she went to for a few years (haven't come up with how, but it was a close call).

Raiden:  Demon.  Somehow tied to Caprice.

Vasilic:  Demon.  Somehow tied to Caprice.  Is incompetent, which will eventually be a plot point.                    

Janique: Beautiful human Caprice meets at a school.  Wears a lot of ice blue.  Janique is one of the few white/blonde characters, which makes perfect sense in context (based on where she lives) and is one way I think this novel will be different from a lot of novels in the genre I'm writing in.  I'm split on this next part.  Janique is either sugar and spice, mostly sugar, and internally hates Caprice but acts all nice to her...or Janique tries to kill Caprice and acts all nice to everyone else so they don't believe she's so horrible.  Either way will come to the same conclusion.

Avianca:  Interesting story behind this character.  Avianca used to be Caprice's slayer name, but in light of Caprice not acting or sounding like an Avianca, the name was freed up.  The new Avianca is the old Valetta.  Okay, so the confusing parts are out of the way.  Now then.  *Takes a deep breath*  Avianca is super duper beautiful.  Like, model beautiful but everything is completely natural.  She knows she's super duper beautiful and is a big snob because of it.  She's also rich, so even more big snobbery going on.  A lot of people dislike/loathe/want to kill her for being horrible without any pay off, so there's that.  There's a lot more concerning her, but, well, it's convoluted and not well planned out yet, but because these are notes to myself as well as everyone else, I'll eventually get around to talking about it.

Overview of Downward Spiral
This novel follows Caprice from birth to age sixteen, when she leaves an absolutely wrecky school situation.  Last scene is of Caprice sitting on a hilly...hill, being moody and reflective and panicking over where she's going to end up.  being strong and independent can only take you so far.  Before any of that garbage, Caprice is shuffled from Nikolina's mansion to Toriaun's vacation home to a run-down house owned by the worst women in the world to the wrecky school/good school (they happen at the same time, especially towards the end of the novel).  In the process of all these dramatics, Caprice is thrust into the position of slayer/leasher by an improbably entity (either Excellon, the demon king in the dream world or Charillo, a merman (basically) that took residence in her head a thousand good years ago and wants in again).  She's no more than twelve when this happens, but she's no younger than when she started in the first novel.  Because she's already slayed and leashed, it comes more natural to her.  So, instead of origin scenes, we see Caprice slaying and leashing and all that good stuff.  Meanwhile, the evil queen Marria is power hungry and does a bunch of nasty things in the name of getting more power, which is problematic because she already rules a bunch of things and everyone's already terrified of her.  So there are scenes of her and what she does.  In order to develop her character, as well as a big bombshell for the third novel, Marria is obsessed with a woman named Dakada (Caprice's mother).  Other than the name Dakada mentioned often (and that I already spoiled Dakada being friends with Marria a long long long long long time ago...oops) there's no good indication of what the relationship is.  Also, we re-meet Toriaun, who is a much older character now and is obsessed over the Caprice Ruelo from the first novel.  He meets new Caprice Ruelo and things go downhill from there.  Hence the name Downward Spiral.  A lot of other things happen (maybe) and I'll be working that out as I go.
