    @ariella-newheart Yay! Thank ya kindly! 😀

    @naiya-dyani This is what I was talking about that the Parimis have that I was thinking you’d like 🙂 I was gonna tag you and then saw that you saw it already! 😀

     

    Alrighty, I’m gonna be thinking about what character I want to bring in. I have so many now it’s hard to decide XD

    Naiya, what do you think about me bringing Greyl or Dharin? I think Greyl would be fun to have, but also I haven’t written from Dharin’s perspective ever, so he’d be cool to experiment with… Or I could bring Stilton, or Gwendolyn. I think not Gwen, cause I have a whole book I’m writing from her perspective and I don’t want to exhaust myself lol. Stilton is gonna be kinda similar to (Ariella is the only one here at the moment who will know him) Lucas, so I dunno about that either. (Lucas was my character I brought in to the Parimis’ Character Castle.) I don’t want the character I bring here to be too similar to Lucas cause I want to kinda do some new stuff, ya know? I could bring in Werrley, which might be interesting. A talking owl would cause some interesting stuff. Or I could bring Dana. Although I don’t know if I have her fleshed out enough for me to be able to write her perspective too well. So I think either Greyl or Dharin.

    HA! Or I could bring in Wiggins!! XD XD

    I have a farmer in the same WIP as the abovementioned characters (minus Lucas, different WIP), and he’s this lil’ old fella who lets Gwendolyn, Greyl, and Werrley ride in his wagon to get to a village when Gwen’s arm is so badly hurt she can’t walk.  He showed up for that one scene, and I have plans for him to show up later on as well, but I think it’d be cool to bring him in. He’s used to farmhouses and sleeping in barns and all, and if I bring him he’ll have to be in this castle with stuff and I think that’s be fun XD

    Ok so let’s take a vote. We’ve got Dharin, Greyl, and Wiggins. Tell me whatcha think! Who should I bring?

    Some stuff about each one:

    Dharin: Tall and handsome. Wavy brownish-red hair that he keeps shoulder-length. Facial hair of the same color, but he’s clean-shaven most of the time. Likes to flirt with literally every pretty woman he comes across. Is fond of ale, but it has to be good ale. He won’t drink the bad stuff. He’s the captain of the three Riders, a group of men who basically go out and arrest the people they’ve been told to arrest. Personality-wise… flirty. But he can buckle down and be serious and get all “Ok this is what we’re doing, we’re killing this dragon, this is how we’re doing it. Let’s go” when needed. (And he’s actually a very nice person, despite what Naiya’s Grace may think XD)

    Greyl: Short and grizzled-ish. (Like probably 4’9″.) Really old (263 years, roughly). Part tree. His full name/title/whatever is Greyl of The Oakenguild. Basically he has a seventh sense (as well as the “sixth” sense that people joke about having) that he can metaphorically reach out with and sense the energy and life-force that trees (specifically oaks) give off. He looks kinda like the emperor of China from Mulan, as far as his hair/beard are concerned. And he kinda has an overall “forest hermit who’s probably a million years old” look. He’s very studious (all those of the Oakenguild are) and knowledgeable. Very kind-hearted. Is very fond of Gwendolyn. (The tree-folk can’t have children, and she’s kind of like the daughter he can never have.)

    Wiggins: Average height; rough and worn farmer. Probably 60-something, idk. Used to hard farming work and sometimes not a full meal. Overall pretty healthy. I’m pretty sure he’s either single or widowed. No children. And he’s fine with that. He wouldn’t know how to handle a family. Is fond of chewing on straw. A very down-to-earth fellow. Kind and generous, always tries to be helpful.
