Author's Commentary #628:
Time to talk about Chapter 628: Spotlight #13: Gorana.
Since she now debuts in Season 1, I wanted to have Gorana's spotlight be in this first batch of character spotlights. It took me a while, but I finally got it done.
This woman is the anti-Pinocchio, highlighting the faults in perfect honesty. That being said, she's not the type that just tells you everything that's on her mind. There are some opinions she will keep to herself, usually minor ones as she herself is aware people don't like you spilling your thoughts 24/7. When prompted though, she'll either give a straight answer or bite her lip hard, depending on how major the question is. Major things she'll always give her thoughts on, but it's the minor stuff she restrains herself on.
The chessboard is the one place where she'll always bottle in her thoughts successfully as should one reveal what they're thinking, their opponent will take advantage of it. Should one ask her what she's planning during a chess game or in preparation for one, this will be the notable occasion where she will refuse to reveal the truth.
That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
