Frozen Stars: Tom and Taliessa
Author's note:
My original characters usually end up as stock types, so it helps for me to imagine an actor playing them, to give them some more detailed features and to help shape their personality.
In this case I imagined Taliessa as played by Emma Thompson, who I believe has the right mixture of wisdom, warmth and authority to play a woman who is Albion's finest bard and knows it.
As for Tom, I really meant to not go with Peter Dinklage, because it felt a little arrogant, but my mind is terribly uncooperative when it comes to creating imagery and so as soon as I had so much as imagined the possibility, the idea stuck and refused to be modified. But then again, why not? He is awesome.
