I have a fanfic idea that I think I can discuss with you.

The idea is about a young prince and a Kikimora who became childhood friends after suffering tragedies that resulted in the death of their parents. Before, the tsarina (the female counterpart to tsar) had adopted the girl from an orphanage and brought in to her service and is undergoing maid training from the contemporary servants. The timing couldn't have been better, as the prince is grieving from the death of his father, the tsar, and is in need of someone who could lighten him up. Needless to say, they became friends, and is implied to have fallen in love with each other even when they're still children.

The central theme will be trust, and will play a major factor as the tsar grows up before he succeeds the throne, he would discover a horrible truth that broke him and slowly changed him into a murderous tyrant very untrustful of anyone (except his childhood friend).

Now, I'm having obstacles regarding character development. As the tsar ruled, he would become more and more paranoid of what and who could be threatening him, because that horrible truth made him realize that he cannot trust anybody as long as anyone is out to take his power from him. His childhood friend would try to help him, but the tsar, having become very paranoid of the threats around him, has become very difficult, but eventually, in the end, he will realize how much he had lost from the fear that he will lose his power. No problem for the tsar, but I'm having trouble for the Kikimora, but I am sure that she will be troubled at her master and childhood friend spiraling down in paranoia and she herself will experience being almost killed by the tsar (but the tsar would realize his mistakes and then gets her treated by doctors, realize the danger she is in and he bids her to leave him.

If you have any questions, ask me.
