It was inspired by Eomer's last clue.

In the hope of being pointed to the right lines...

Kath? Because there are two people in her avatar, and there's a sort of duality going on in the clue. Can't explain what the words mean, though.

You're right in looking to the avatars, but it's not Kath.

I didn't think it would be a hard one, but... do you give up? Should I give the answer? I don't want this thread to die just because of my question.

I've spent quite a while looking through the avatars (apparently only 3 people are playing this game just now ).

Sure you couldn't give a li'l clue?

The Downer in question is female. There is an actress in her avatar. Her name is Lee Lee Sobieski.

That's more than a lil' clue.

And why would it be Anguirel, dear?

(Incidentally, it's not.)

It just sounds like something he'd say. When you said it "made you laugh" I assumed you were quoting something the Downer in question had said.

It's not a Downer quotation, though it is quotation-derived. That's the first clue.
