Question Killing the Mood Discussion

So, what was the motivation for Dewdrop?

Since I read A's Team, I thought it was inspired by Inspira, who had the same issue...

Dewdrop's motivation?
Girl has issues with affection, probably stemming from an unresolved Electra complex, plus being raised by the Amish or similar highly-strict orthodox sect.

In other words, she needs to get laid

"Highly-strict" describes a lot more than just the Amish. Have you seen some of the anti-sex adds put out by the conservatives? They are almost as strange as the ante-Gay ones.

Do you really want me to tell you, or are you guys just speculating? It doesn't come up in this story because it's like 4k words, but it certainly would come up if there ever is any more about Dewdrop.

I will say this, there's some clue into her problems in her real name(Misty Parks so you don't have to look it up). It's not just a serendipitous water-related name.

... I meant, what was your inspiration for this story, and Dewdrop in particular... But, if you're gonna write more about Dewdrop, I guess I'd like her motivation to be a surprise...

I mean the kind of actual 'villains' teenaged mutants would deal with, because there's no way very powerful adults would let them fight anything ever(if we looked at the universe from the standpoint of how our own real world reality works at least).

OMG! That is so cool! I wanna say that we need more of those, but the Cabal already has enough on their plate!

Ok. Just Googled Misty Parks ... And the first site is for a porn actress... Any relation between the two Misties, I wonder...

Perhaps Dewdrop's really embarrassed about sharing her name with the other Misty Parks... Or something... And that's her motivation, in addition to finding 'lewdness' an irritation psychic sensation that makes it hard to sleep?

Or is the last bit just something I'm presuming?

Initially I thought I'd be something to do with Rosa Parks, but quickly abandoned that idea after Googling...

Also, does having Dewdrop say that she didn't really choose her codename, a hint of another kind?

I was guessing that she has Hippie parents that gave her that codename, 'cause 'Misty Parks' sounds like a possible Hippie name to me?
