Advice for a Voltron book!
Hi guys!! For context it the title yes I’m writing a Voltron book on wattpad
I’d say I’m quite skilled ish at writing and figuring out plots but I cannot decide on what should the baseline of background for Y/N be.
First idea:
Y/N grew up in the galra until she was 5, as lotors daughter and her mother was an ice princess who died at childbirth, Haggar (Honerva) felt threatened that one day y/n would rise as a very powerful ice galran princess and witch (after gaining some of Haggars magic) and try to over power Lotor or even Zarkon.
Haggar sent her druids to send Y/N to an abandoned planet in hopes that she would die, what Haggar didn’t know is that the Blade of Marmora’s base wasn’t that for from that planet.
Kolivan just happened to be on that same planet when he had scanned the planet for a living life force and found
Y/N, of course Y/N was very scared and very guarded but Kolivan immediately took her back to the Blade of Marmora base.
Over the years after that Kolivan and
Y/N took time getting close, Y/N had no memories of her life before Kolivan found her, maybe it was the trauma from her being abandoned or the druids just erased her memory.
At 17 years old Y/N was skilfully trained in combat by Kolivan personally and sometimes Y/N helped him during missions, one day Kolivan gave Y/N her very own personal mission, to guard the red lion that was in Sendak’s possession, Signs of Voltron being back started happening and Kolivan wanted to make sure that the red lion was protected.
After a few days of guarding the red lion, Keith suddenly arrived for the lion, at first before any of the soldiers arrived to fight Keith and Y/N, Keith started fighting Y/N thinking she was the bad guy before she started defending him bla bla bla Y/N gets hit with one of the soilders guns in the ribs, and gets knocked by a cargo box as it comes flying out when Keith opened up the hangar door, Keith of course saved Y/N and brought her back to the castle of lions (I’ll stop her as I don’t want to spoil to much in case anyone would like to read it)
(Also for this one I don’t know if she should know she’s lotors daughter from the start or not, I think it’ll add a lot of resentment on how lotor never came looking for her and how he never stopped it from happening, and maybe in the end they could possibly have a good father and daughter relationship.
Second idea:
Y/N had a happy childhood with Lotor, although his parenting was a bit odd and he was barely there as she got older due to her grandfathers demanding nature to Lotor.
As Y/N grew older she noticed how ruthless her grandfather was, she could tell he was extremely mad and unhinged and her father wasn’t far off.
Y/N happened to be on Sendak’s ship when the paladins came for the Red lion, she was there because Zarkon needed to demand Sendak for something and he couldn’t be there in person so she was officially the last resort apart from one of Zarkon’s closet allies.
So of course she went to Please her father and also her grandfather, when she got there she was immediately mistaken for a prisoner that escaped by one of Sendak’s guards and was locked up with the other prisoners when the paladins arrived.
She thought the paladins might’ve killed her if she ever found out that she’s a descendent of Zarkon so she kept quiet, and when they saved her and took her to the castle of lions, when the first Robeast came she helped the paladins how to defeat it from seeing it being harmed a thousand times, one times being shiro, when she did that they asked her to stay and fight along side them, so she did.
Third idea:
When Y/N was just a baby, there was a huge fight between her parents on how her mother didn’t want her to grow up at all in the galra due to what’s she seen happening to planets and people through the years, of course Lotor retaliated against her mother and told her Y/N wasn’t going anywhere.
So her mother did what any other mother would do, she sent her daughter to earth alone in hopes she would have a much better life than the ones her bloodline promised she would have.
On earth, shiro’s parents found Y/N in an adoption centre and immediately chosen to adopt her, over the years Shiro and Y/N were extremely close,
Y/N knew she was adopted but never knew where she came from before her adoption and quite frankly she never cared.
As Y/N grew older shiro’s parents sadly died, leaving shiro and Y/N to grow up together alone, when Y/N was 14 she joined the garrison, while she was there she befriended the very lonely Keith, even though he kept giving her the cold shoulder she never stopped trying and soon enough they became best friends.
Life was good until Shiro went on the Kerberos mission and went missing,
Y/N moved into the shack with Keith, so she wasn’t totally alone and they both dropped out of the garrison.
When Y/N seen the bright light quickly descending from the sky her whole being was just hoping it was her brother, and thankfully it was.
But when Lance, Hunk and pidge suddenly joined the crew she was a bit wary but overjoyed to have them in the cute little shack.
And when they suddenly found the blue lion she couldn’t imagine what would be next in her life.
(Again I’ll stop her as I don’t wanna spoil the book)
So guys, what should I do? Either one I’m perfectly fine with doing but I just don’t know what one, any advice would be very appreciated!
Also I don’t know if this is allowed to be posted so if it isn’t Please let me know and I’ll take it down immediately!
