10. Character from Narnia (can be from any of the books/movies): I just finished re-reading The Silver Chair, so right now I really love Puddleglum the marsh-wiggle. At first his utter dejection is hilarious and it seems he couldn't possibly become a likable character, but I adore the way he showed inner strength and presence of mind when faced with the Emerald Witch's enchantments. Under all the mud and pessimism, he's a solid hero (and provides comic relief to boot).
However, Aslan still edges him out, probably. His combination of wisdom, love, sternness and mystery gives me chills every time.
11. Scene from the first book/movie: Lucy and Susan at the stone table after Aslan is killed. Even knowing what happens next, the grief is so tangible, as is the realization that something else is at work.
12. Quote from the first book/movie: "It'll happen when you're not looking for it."
- Professor Kirke, on returning to Narnia.
Pick one~
14. Honor, Love, Power, Vengeance, Intelligence, Loyalty: Love. Maybe it is all you need, maybe it isn't... but if we'd try a little harder at it, life would be better for everyone.
15. Adventure, Imagination, Truth, Wealth: Imagination. It can take us so many places and unlock so many things.
Are you more~
16. Playful or serious?: Playful.
17. Determined or accepting?: Determined when it comes to my goals, accepting when it comes to people--to a degree, anyway.
18. Powerful or weak?: Somewhere in between. I can hold my own, which isn't to say that I always do.
19. Smart or creative?: Both.
20. Nice or mean?: Nice, until given a reason to do otherwise. I try to treat people the way I'd want to be treated.
21. Aggressive or passive?: Passive, but not always.
22. Hyper or laid back?: Laid-back.
23. Is there anything else you'd like to include?: The first Narnia book I ever owned was a second-hand copy of TLWW whose brown pages were constantly falling out. It always bothered me. A few years later I got a big, beautiful hardcover edition with shiny pages and colored illustrations. Yet the book that I still look through and refer to is that first one, which is in as bad a shape as ever.
24. Please post two clear photos of yourself (these are very helpful but if you are not comfortable with this, please state so and you may skip this step). I'd rather not. I don't have any recent ones at hand.
