There is actually a picture of him on the Barrow-Downs photo page... but I was wondering how you all thought I look like. And Laurinque can't answer this!

I'm a bit shorter than average and my hair colour is pretty much that (usually loose, sometimes plaited and almost never on a ponytail, though). According to Lommy, she doesn't know if my eyes are gentle but she wouldn't be surprised if the rest was true.

I wouldn't mind looking like that (though black hair wouldn't probably suit my current looks).

You're 13 years and have light brown hair with blond highlights. You like to wear jeans and pastel coloured t-shirts. You're thin and not very tall.

Depends on how you define "close"...
I'm a good 4 inches taller than that.

Just a note, Mac - are you sure? I strongly suggest checking Rikae's family tree, anyway.
My housekeeping habits leave no doubt - I'm not the least bit German.

Hm. No, no one's ever told me that I have the gift of foresight...nor the gift of seeing thousands of miles away over seas and all that good stuff. It's just...from what little I have seen of you (well, you've only posted fifty some times), you seem like that sort of person, that's all.

Well, the facts that she's your older sister and posted a picture of her and you a while back do count as circumstantial evidence that she's not over 50.

I would guess early twenties, 21 maybe?

You forgot my either shoelessness or crocs, it acctually depends on the season in the summer time I'm almost always barefoot (unless we are going to the store) and in the winter (it's very icy where I live) I will wear crocs (no socks) or go barefoot!

OH MY GOSH! How did you know my height? Lauinque didn't tell you did she?

You both got everything right, except the hair... I've got long dark (and I mean dark) brown hair, no highlights (I have only put the normal shampoo and conditioner in my hair(I've only put highlights in it once and they were almost my hair color anyway)


And I always thought that Folwren was 18 or 19... I don't know...

We got a new aid for our chancery-clerk in my school in the middle of last fall and she just looks exactly like I think Rikae looks. There's the same gestalt on her face and the exact same hairdo as Rikae has in her pic! And I've already started to notice "similar" expressions I myself think Rikae might have that she shares... and I even think your ages fit together quite nicely (and I know she has a children).

I'm afraid she thinks I'm either desperate, trying to flirt with her or then just a lunatic when I just forget myself staring at her when we meet in the teacher's coffee-room and I just think how much she resembles you Rikae...

I just can't get that connection out of my mind.

(I could have posted this to the addicted to B-D thread as well I think...)

Nope, she didn't tell me anything. Hmm... I can't picture you with brown hair, I guess I'll have to see you in a picture or something

Yes, 19 years old, she has pure blonde hair, and she is tall for a girl: 5'11.

I don't act like a blond, do I? Not blond and not 5'11", although I am the tallest girl in the family.

The Great Elven Warrior is most decidedly (in my mind) a freckle faced girl who is around 14 years of age, has a bobbed hair cut with hair somewhere between brown and blond...sometimes described as 'dirty-dishwater' (I didn't give it that name, so don't blame me for its bluntness).

I know that that's an incorrect picture, for you described yourself rather indepthly above, but I can't help it.
