Oh dear... Aganzir imagines me as Turin and Rikae imagines Turin as me. What is it that I remind nobody of a likeable character?

I'm happy I'm an only child.


Let me see...

I imagine Aganzir as being on the smaller side. She has light brown hair and a long pony tail. Her eyes are gentle, but they leave no doubt that you do not mess with her. Her teachers might not admit it, but they are slightly afraid of her.

I can't help it, but I imagine everybody who doesn't give their birthday in their profiles, or whose approximate age I haven't heard of elsewhere, as being over fifty. With regards to that, I imagine Bęthberry as having mid-long black hair, but wearing the all too visible grey portion among it with pride.
I also imagine her as a Sagittarius.

Lalaith has blonde hair, with a strong reddish hue in it, which she also wears as a pony tail. She a pointy nose and bright freckles. She has a restless bearing, is very thin, and dresses casual.

I can't help but imagine A Little Green as a smaller copy of Lommy, only with darker hair and a look in her eyes that suggest a little more of a mean streak.

Gwathagor has black hair, short and slightly curly. He'd be a physically intimidating appearance if he wasn't so significantly challenged in height.
And he's a Leo.

Well, you have got the "over fifty" part right, but it's far more far 'over fifty' than you might expect.

Bęthberry is an RPG character who commited the gravest of sins, before the Downs developed its RPG rules about appropriating Tolkien's characters, by being the daughter of Tom and Goldberry. She is thus several ages over fifty.



Since I never played her in the Seventh Age, I'm not sure if her hair would indeed by grey by now. Most likely. But in the Third Age it was copper.

And I wonder, did Tolkien follow traditional astrology or did he create his own? If he didn't, ooooh, there's great room for someone to create a Middle-earth astrology. Imagine the constellations' names after First Age events and characters--and not just Venus as Earendil. What fun for writers of fanfiction!

I find myself wishing I hadn't put my picture in my avatar, so I could see how people envisioned me based solely on my posts.
Well, you don't know how tall I am! :P

In spite of the secret date of birth, I picture Bęthberry between 25 and 30, with beautiful glossy brown hair, slightly short and very pretty.

Now it seems to all have been given away, but I pictured Greenie as a a lighter-haired Lommy.

Gwathagor is 6'7", gangly and looks disturbingly like Lurch.

TheGreatElvenWarrior is female, right? Well, I always had an image in my mind of a 17 year old skater-dude from the west coast with long bangs hanging in his face. I guess that can be made into a "skater-chick".

Aganzir is very difficult to picture. Even though I know she is female, I always picture an androgynous, ageless, pale skinned and black-haired person with a mischievous smirk.

*blushes* Why, thank you! Growing up in the shadow of my beautiful mother was hard, so it's nice to be perceived as having some of my own attractiveness. (I think though I will start a list of how others perceive me, as I seem to remember Esty thinking I was Madonna-like--although which re-invention of Madonna I can't quite recall!)

Does this mean we can expect more swagger from 'Thagor?

I wish I could return the favour of Rikae and others and post my impressions of Downers, but I don't create mental images of what you all look like. Instead, I think about your voices and imagine what you all sound like when you speak.
And, no, I don't imagine any of you sounding like The Good Professor's idea of "Cellar Door."

That being said, what age do you take Folwren to be?

Just a note, Mac - are you sure? I strongly suggest checking Rikae's family tree, anyway.
