I am Geredan, I know it. I am bit clumsy, I lack confidence, but I am overall an attractive and good natured person. I am loved and trusted by my friends, but somewhat awkward around strangers.
I've got Lebbick's need for control--just not the anger . . . mostly. The rest is Geraden's puppy, grown up and graying. Less clumsy in most ways, but still a fumbler in competitive matters, and too eager to impress.
I share Myste's capacity to dream, and to believe in the improbable. However, I lack her courage.

Buy my best friend's fantastic fantasy book! Pulse is also available here.
My husband is SO Geraden! I sorta fell in love with Geraden just thinking about how much he's like my hubby, tee-hee. Theoretical physicist who is totally fearless and loyal, yet not qualified to operate a toaster? Heck yeah!
"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor
"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
-Elisabeth Elliot, Preface, "A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael"
I think I'm like between Geraden (kind), Myste ( a dreamer), Norge (too quiet) and Ribuld (sort of emotional). I wish I was a swashbuckler like Artagel or a bold go-getter like Elega---but I don't think I am.
