Sharna of Waterwood


Which Child of Fortune Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

okay, someone please explain this to me? What fiction are fortune's children from, and why is there a cailet ambraii option- is this a Melanie Rawn thing? Cause I just finished 'The Ruins of Ambrai, and I am still trying to decide whether I liked it enough to be worth the time i spent reading it (I actually bought it strictly for the artistic reference of that blue and gold dress on the cover*sheepish grin*).

it is a local D&D game that lots of folks are members of, I am not sure who all plays what character since it is a game that started long before I got to know these folks. But I do know that the character you got is played by Jessi

Yay

Heehee, you got me!! Which is really cool since I have met you all of twice, and still like you. Sharna daughter of Janakaa Kaanan. Sharna means Keeper. She is a druid, and a keeper of the wildlife in her part of the world. The reason that she doesn't know much about people is because she has known so few. Her adoptive mother is a Treant. She was eight before she met another human. And Upon seeing the aging, sagging, stern man, promptly decided to be a Leopard (the cubs were alot more fun).

She is based a lot on the fact that two thing I value most are nature and innocence. The irony of Sharna is that she is too innocent to be timid. She's not afraid of being naked(sometimes at inappropriate times). She and Herom first got together when she walked up to him and said, "I'm in heat and need a male of the species to take care of the problem. Do you mind helping me out?"

She can be deadly vicious with some of her spells, but she tends to spend more time healing than hurting.

All right that was way too long. I just really enjoy her and get carried away sometimes. Oh yeah, and Cailet was not based on the book. I know that she discovered the name, but I can't remember if it was before or after she started playing the character.

The name is certainly appropriate, in any case. Have you read Melanie Rawn's Dragon Prince series? There was another series that I liked, related, but I can't remember the name. I was really into them back in high school. Ya know, back when we had the time to read for pleasure. I'm sure you remember.....bliss..... ^_^

Oh, and I got the Cailet Ambraii result. I love being pegged as the musician!

well, thank you all for the enlightening notes!
This Sharna character does sound like a lot of fun- and someone I _would_ play, if I had time for RPing.
*grin* I can identify with her well, because many people in my life have also mistaken my innocence for naivete, assuming I had a "sheltered" upbringing. But 'innocence' is a choice one can make in the face of life's grit, whereas 'naivete' only lasts until you learn something new that flies in the face of what you thought you knew before. And so many people forget that just because you're not swallowing the party line doesn't mean you aren't aware of how things really work.


And no, the ruins of Ambrai from Rawn's Mageborn trilogy (the 1st in the series) is the only one of hers i've read. I enjoyed the intricate detail and vivid imagery- it made her characters and society seem realistic, lifelike.... but sometimes, it just felt like she was taking too damn long to get to the point. Like she just liked the sound of her own writing.... 900 pages for a plot so easily resolved? I dunno. Then again, I guess there's nothing wrong with writing for masterbatory pleasure. As Heinlen says, it is an affliction that can't be helped. And hey, I bought it at full retail, and read the whole thing didn't I? yes i did. Even though I couldn't really afford the time, I stole it from myself to do so. So, in the end, Rawn wins anyway. Because I am a fiction whore who's starved for pleasure reading.... *sigh*
ahhh, yes, the good old days of having "time".....
