Who Was The Most Attractive Woman?
Moderator: Cord Hurn
I'd say Terisa as well. There are really only two of the women mentioned whose sexuality as well as their personality is explored--Saddith and Terisa. Saddith sounds sexy but in fact is a goldigger, while Terisa has the qualities mentioned by several posters that make her intriguing. For me it's the attractiveness with the combination of gentleness and strength, courage and inexperience, naivete and intelligence that make her intriguing. I don't blame her for falling in with Eremis for a bit, he was totally outside her experience. I would be surprised if no one on this forum has never had a bad relationship or foolish one.

First vote for Elega goes to me -.- hmm.
As to why - She's brutal, coniving(sp) and she knows what she wants, but what she wants (aside from power) is to see Mordant a strong realm again. I admire her for it, as despite the mean's the intention is honourable. Her physical description is also alluring, as is the obvious love she shares for her family, though it takes her a while to see it herself.

It's a poor sort of memory, that only works backwards...
I voted for Myste. They're all described as attractive, but Myste's personality is the sexiest to me. All fantasy and idealism, but backed up with bold action.

Hmm. I dunno. Quiss is so motherly, it could be kinda oedipal.

I'm experiencing deja vu... I swear I remember this quote, or a discussion of Quiss on this thread from before. But I keep lookin' at the date and it still says August 2011...danlo wrote:Quiss should have be on the poll-earth mamas are dam hot!
I seem to remember Quiss having a different way of relating to her husband than she did to relating to the passel-full of children.
I think the assumption that "sexy" and "motherly" cause contradictions to each-other is a relatively modern one. (admittedly, with SOME biological factors in its support, seeing as when women seem _most_ motherly is probably when they have a newborn!)
"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."
