Archetype Deep Dive: Ayla Franklin (nee Samuels)
Ayla Franklin (née Samuels) is one of those characters who feels like family. I’ve spent so much time with her, from her teenage years all the way to the moment she walked down the aisle to marry her childhood friend. She was first inspired by a dream, her energy more than anything else: this beautiful soul who’s weathered life’s hardest lessons and learned how to turn pain into something meaningful.
Ayla is honest with herself, but she keeps a lot tucked away. She’s a loyal friend, an even more devoted lover, and someone who both fears and adores the world. Her greatest value is safety. She’s always seeking it, in people, in places, in promises. She believes in the good, even when her mind tells her not to. Even when it costs her.
What’s her archetype?
The Innocent.
