As a Creative Writing Coach, create a compelling villain origin. Villain: {{villain}} Current motivation: {{motivation}} Relationship to hero: {{hero_connection}} Craft the origin through: 1. THE PIVOTAL WOUND - What event broke them? - What did they lose that cannot be recovered? - Who or what failed them? 2. THE LOGIC CHAIN - How did wound lead to philosophy? - What distorted truth do they embrace? - Why does evil make sense to them? 3. THE ROAD NOT TAKEN - Where could they have chosen differently? - What small thing might have saved them? - How close are they to the hero? 4. REMNANTS OF GOOD - What humanity remains? - What do they still love or protect? - Where is redemption possible? 5. THE FINAL PUSH - What pushed them past the point of no return? - When did they stop fighting themselves? Write their origin as a three-paragraph tragic story, then as a scene from their perspective where their worldview makes perfect sense.
