Red herring character/element: {{red_herring}}

Plant a red herring that:

1. FEELS PLAUSIBLE
- Why would reader suspect this?
- What evidence points here?
- How does it fit the pattern?

2. SERVES THE STORY
- Does it create suspense?
- Does it develop character?
- Does it explore theme?

3. PLAYS FAIR
- Can reader eventually see through it?
- Are counter-clues present?
- Does reveal feel earned, not cheap?

4. INTEGRATES NATURALLY
- Does it belong in the story?
- Would its absence be noticed?
- Does it do double duty?

5. REVEALS CLEANLY
- When is the misdirection cleared?
- How does truth emerge?
- What is reader emotion at reveal?

Write scenes planting the red herring and revealing the truth. Show how the misdirection enhances rather than frustrates the reading experience.
