I need help deciding on thought-lines for a story about a brother and sister who haven't initiated a conversation with each other in years come together to rekindle their relationship once the brother discovers the sister's secret, a secret that could get her disowned from the household by her father. I ruled out Activity and I'm down to three. Fixed Attitude's seem to be best for the Overall Story but I can't decide on whether Activity or Manipulation should be for the main character, the brother.

So, any help you guys can provide would really be helpful.

Since you are unclear about the throughline, you might consider answer some of the other questions that you do have answers to first, about your main and impact characters, some of the questions about the OS. Or you could start with the Plot Progression screen and answer some of the questions there as well. Dramatica will help point you at the right throughlines.

if you are really a writer, those simple tasks shouldn't be so difficult for you..lol haha
