storytellerknight:Thirty Days of Arthurian CharactersDay Twenty-Two: Lynette1. Why you like or don’t like the characterI like Lynette. The savage damsel. Proof that she has been something fierce since her very inception as a character. I have already spoken of my love for characters unwilling to tolerate bullshit. And the savage damsel will give you a tongue lashing you rightly deserve if you fling any bullshit in her direction. She is a certified bad ass and I love her. 2. Favorite characterization in novelsThe Savage Damsel and the Dwarf by Gerald Morris. Okay, his series… you need to read his series if you haven’t. This would be one of the highlights of his series and his take on Lynette is one of the reasons. This is just a fantastic version of the character and a great fleshing out of her story. 3. Favorite characterization in TV shows/moviesThe only version I know of is Kayley in Quest for Camelot who is based on Lynette from Vera Chapman’s book The King’s Damosel. But, as much as I love Kayley… she’s not really the spitfire Lynette is. So, I don’t know…4. Favorite art/illustration of the characterThis Arthur Rackham picture keeps growing on me. And Lynette looks something fierce in it. 5. An actor you wished could play the characterRachael Leigh Cook. I’ve been enjoying her recently on Perception where she plays a really smart FBI agent who is also a spitfire. I think it would work well. 6. One headcanon about the characterAh, right now in the book I’m writing, well, let’s just say Lynette loves scaring people because she can. She prefers to be left alone with spells and is only willing to let certain family members in such as her sister and nieces and nephews. But otherwise she actively works to drive people away to be left to her own devices. And takes perverse pleasure in giving people nightmares that last a lifetime. -- source link
