A/N: This is going to be a pretty lengthy book poll, so there should be more than one section of it that strikes your interest. As I said in one of my announcements leading up to this particular chapter's debut, all of my sincere, sweet, boundary-respecting audience members ARE allowed to read & engage with this chapter from start to finish, whether or not they've jumped down the "Sunset Boulevard" rabbit hole already.🖤🪻🖤

My only other condition is that if you ARE reading this chapter, you DO plan on reading this book in its entirety later on down the line. {This book is catered to my Fate-Weavers, Topazes, enjoyers of The Spark Saga, and/or my other current fanfic projects}

As long as all of the above apply to you, it's my pleasure to welcome you to my latest book poll, 'Compassionate & True'.🩵🎼🦋

🪶Engagement Reminders🪶

~ Do NOT rush through. Just like my other book polls within this book, as well as my projects' various QOTDs, there is NO deadline for feedback. If you need to pause your reading at any point & sincerely plan on returning later on to continue, you may leave a bookmarking comment to mark your place & let me know all at once.🔖

~ Comment waves–of the sweet, sincere, & boundary-respecting variety–are ALWAYS welcome & encouraged in my books. Please do NOT hesitate to shoot them my way!💞

~ You can give as much reasoning to your input as you are comfortable with giving. As long as it's honest & respectful–just like your behavior toward me, yourselves, & each other–it is welcome!🌷

~ Please be patient with me when it comes to replies, whether it's to your comment waves, messages, or all of the above. Between the holidays, time-zone differences, self-care, & everything in between, I might NOT always be able to read & reply to your lovely messages & comments as quickly as I'd like. Just know that you have NOT been forgotten, & I always look forward to engaging with you guys in the comments & over on my message board.💌

~ Do NOT–under any circumstances–skip over any part of this chapter. This boundary, just like ALL the rest you see here, applies everywhere on my page. Even if you can't engage to the fullest on a given section–due to lack of knowledge regarding the given series–you CAN still share your thoughts, questions, hopes for the given saga/topic/character, etc.🪶

~ Unless stated otherwise by yours truly, every character/aesthetic board & graphic you see in this chapter–& any other within my projects–belongs to me.🎨 {Speaking of which, this chapter's header image is from my collection of Madalaed-centric pins on Pinterest.}

~ You are also ALWAYS welcome to return to this chapter–& any others of mine–to share additional thoughts/hopes, theories/predictions, etc. whenever you wish! New comment waves brighten my day quicker than the finest of ice cream sundaes!🍨

🦋Which 6-8 characters listed below do you believe and/or hope will be rooting for Kasper the MOST throughout my saga, in what way/ways do you think they'll show it, & why?

{I've listed their given place/dynamic in our girl and/or Jazz's life next to 'em}

~ Laurel "Rory" Aurora Forge- Mackenzie's younger sister–14 at the saga's start–& her only blood sibling.

~ Angela "Angel" Josie Weber- A lifelong best friend & sister-from-another-mister to Kenz & Laur. She shares a handful of classes & extra-curriculars with our leading lady.

~ Dr. Carlisle "Ev" Everett Cullen- The Cullen-Hale kids' adoptive dad, Esme's husband, & a well-respected physician at the local hospital.

~ Aunt Delilah "Lyla" Robin Anderson- Our Anderson-Forge angels' proud aunt & godmother. Older identical twin sister to Tess & sister-in-law to Waylon.

~ Ben "Benny" Magnus Cheney- Childhood/family friend of the Anderson-Forges. Always glad to watch over Kenz, especially after certain events of recent years...

~ Edward "Eds" Anthony Masen Cullen- The most introverted out of his siblings. This enigmatic, literature-loving gent is typically more than a little reluctant when it comes to socializing with those outside of his family.

~ Rosalie "Rosie-Riveter" Lillian Hale- One of Jazz's sisters, who–like the rest of her siblings–has recently been drawn–no pun intended 😉–to our precious Mackenzie.

~ Emmett "Emmy" McCarty Cullen- A colossal teddy bear with Weasley-worthy mischievous tendencies who has–with endless joy & pride–deemed himself Iris' Big-Brother Bear.

~ Waylon "Lonnie" Corey Forge- Adoring husband to Tessa, beloved younger brother to Lyls, & darling dad to his endlessly enchanting kiddos. A boat mechanic with golden humor, outstanding appreciation for the arts, & never hesitates to stand up for his girls.

~ Esme "Mae-Mae" Anne Platt Cullen- Ev's lovely wife & the eternally compassionate Mama Bear to all of their adopted teens. A beautifully strong soul through & through.

~ Alice "Pixie-Pop" Cullen- One of the most extroverted souls within her family, despite the insensitive souls who label her as "too spacey" or "strange as hell". This darling girl never hesitates to show how much she cares & proudly does so in a style suited perfectly to her magnetic personality.

~ ~ ~

🎨Out of the variously toned pieces of our girl's life & personality, which ones intrigue you MOST at the moment, which ones do you want to see MORE of in upcoming chapters of her story, & why? {Feel free to share as many hopes/thoughts/theories/etc. you have regarding these, too, as long as you are comfortable with doing so!🩵}

~ The dynamics between Kenz & her biological/blood family, as well as the space that stretches between them...

~ How her fellow Forks denizens view Mackenzie, whether or not the given characters have been officially introduced yet.

~ The seemingly out-of-the-blue anxiety spirals that threaten to swallow her whole...

~ How aware Alice & the other Cullen-Hales are to our leading lady's past, present, & future...

~ What the reveal of Tessa's fate will be & how it's affected their home.

~ Mackenzie's compassion toward the sweet souls in her corner, both new & old.

~ How she may react to the supernatural side of her world...
