Just a quickie. For anyone who provides their knowledge/assistance, I am grateful.
I have a character that references herself as a witch. From then on, she is referred to as "the witch" in narrative and by other characters. Does that suddenly make it a proper noun (the Witch) or do I still lowercase it (the witch)? Or is it even conditional?
Likewise, "I cannot bear to see you come to harm, my chieftain" <--- I only treat it as a proper noun when it's used directly to refer to a character, right? "Chieftain Xavier, you are blahblahblah." or "But Chieftain, I insist!"
