She had a good sense of humour and a bitchy attitude that I find attractive in all women :) Actually, Need was the same, although Need WAS human at one point before her ensorcelment. >> Again, I have to agree, while Gwena started out being a bit...uhhh..well, to put it bluntly naive, she ended up being - once she figured out how to work Elspeth - quite the character. And Need...once she woke....talk about a personality!

Victoria said: Also, in one of the short stories in Oathblood (I think in the one where Leslac is first introduced) I loved the little blurb about Waarl having a sweet tooth and wanting honey on his bread. :) It was so cute and human... and, like I said, quirky. :) -- Yeah! I love Warrl. And I really love it that most of her nonhuman characters have personalities all their own. They're not just *there*. It adds dimension to the stories. She also said: The hertasi, of course! :) They're great too... Hey, didn't they also (well, sort of) play matchmaker for Elspeth and Darkwind in 'Winds of Fury'? --That's it! ::sheepish grin:: I couldn't remember the name, and it was driving me bonkers. =] I would love to read more stories with the hertasi as starring roles, rather than just being domestic servants. =] Well, wind to thy wings, all! ~Cariad ----------------------------------------------- FREE!
