So obviously, you know I could not wait to work on Amir’s archetype.
For me, he was the first MMC I crafted with deep, intentional detail. Amir had been living in my head rent-free long before I penned him into Girl Code. And even though he never had a voice in my book world—aside from that Q&A we just published—his character has always been rich and present. Anytime he was on the page, and even through Melodee’s eyes, we felt him.
Amir is the kind of MMC I love working with. He’s every romance girlie’s ideal man… charming, expressive, respectful, romantic. But of course, I had to give him his own set of flaws. And even with those, Amir still sparkles when it comes to love and matters of the heart. He’s a natural romantic. He always says the right thing. And no matter how outlandish the request, women can’t help but meet it. He’s lovable through and through, and he carries a deep respect for women, regardless of the nature of their relationship.
So what archetype does that make him?
The Charmer.
