Good question! For Aurora, I would say electricity and the industrial nature of a city are proving the most difficult for her to adjust to; she grew up in the woods, and as she got older, surrounded by faeries, magical creatures, and magic, so to be in a city seemingly made up of the substance that can hurt faeries in her world is a challenge. I want her to be able to move out into the countryside, eventually.

Ophelia is adjusting to the modern "manners" she's encountered so far. She is especially having difficulties fitting in at school because she's still so attached to the fashion of her own era? At some point I'm going to have her experiment more with fashion and make-up.

Marius is surprisingly the most well-adjusted character of mine; he is still getting used to not being in Paris and not having to worry about his grandfather. I'd say, for him, trying to reconcile the guilt he feels for both the barricades and his father is what he struggles most with, especially as he puts himself out in Darrow. Also still needs to find a steady job, but I'm working on that.

Oops, this became a novel. Sorry about that.
