I need honest opinions, because I can’t choose. Which of these would work best?

Q: I’ve written a book, the first part of a trilogy based around the lives of evolved mythological creatures who are living as teenagers in human society. So it’s basically a teen fantasy. Anyway, I’m a third of my way through the final write up of the first one which should be done in around 1-2 months, and then I’ll start the second. But the thing is, I’m very whimsical and I’ve decided that I want one of my characters to die of tuberculosis in the third book, but for the symptoms to start at the end of the second. The problem is which character to pick. So I’m going to list the options and how that would affect the story etc, and leave it up to your honest opinions. 1. Jenny. A siren who the protagonist falls in love with. She is a bit of a grumpy mystery for a lot of the first book, but that’s because she knows that if she falls for him and they kiss, he will die. In the second book her life is in danger, but I thought it would be a nice twist if she knew she was going to die anyway and therefore tries to stop the protagonist from trying to save her, because there is no point. 2. Drake. The illegitimate son of Apollo, raised by his sphinx-mother, he’s a beautiful and yet fantastical character who is probably the most mythical of all. He knows he doesn’t quite fit in with humans as others do and so keeps to his own wild ways. He’s arrogant and charming, but he’s also obsessed with his dream of legitimacy and becoming a God, and will stop at nothing to get at it. I thought, if he had TB, it could be kind of sad and yet also solve the problem of getting him out of the way in the final book, yet still retaining sympathy. So say he becomes all the more desperate to become immortal because he knows otherwise he will die of consumption… I just thought that would up the tension a lot.3. The mother. Haunted by the death of her husband and daughter (that happens before the story takes place), she rejects her duty as a mother of the protagonist and centres her life around her own self-pity. She’s suicidal, but yet she’s afraid of death. The protagonist hates her for her selfishness, and therefore is slow to forgive when she finally tries to love him again. I just thought it would be kind of sad if they finally, in the end, get to be a happy family unit again, accepting the past and moving on… but then she dies of TB anyway. What do you think? Which one would have the greatest impact? To read the incomplete and unedited final copy so far, follow the link on my profile and click on the book by the name of ‘Switzerface’.

A: Personally, I think the first one, because as you say, it would be interesting for the whole thing to unfold between her and the protagonist
