Dude, "your" plots are actually MORE central to the main plot than "mine" own. The thing witn the numbers is why the characters are all there. Lucas is just a character with a lot of power dealing with other peripheral things. Her main role will be before and after the main conflict, not during it.
Lilly et al have an actual, pivotal role DURING the conflict. I like my character and I know she's powerful, but she's way LESS important than lilly. And that's perfectly okay, even because you write better than me. :)
