* Comment on this post.
* I will give you a letter.
* Think of 5 fictional characters and post their names and your comments on these characters in your LJ.


[livejournal.com profile] nineveh_uk gave me O.


1. Mme Orly
Patrick likes her and she prefers boys to girls. Though she likes the girls to be feminine and ladylike, not tomboyish. She converted to Catholicism for the sake of her second husband and has to explain to Lawrie that the historical facts of the beginnings of Christianity are not generally regarded as myth or legend. Ginty gets to visit her in Paris and be thoroughly spoilt. A terrifying, but (as one would expect of Forest) fully realised character that I can picture perfectly.

2. Julia Oversley
Georgette Heyer's answer to Marianne Dashwood.

3. Orville
Can you tell I'm struggling? When I was too young to know better I owned two Orvilles. And I have only just realised in the last week that he must have been named after Orville Wright. His best known song: 'I wish I could fly (but I can't)' is as irritating as you'd imagine.

4. Oliver Wood
For [livejournal.com profile] moonette1 and because I felt I should include an HP character somewhere in the list. Could have had Mr Ollivander, I suppose.

5.Owl
Or, as he prefers to spell it, 'Wol'. He, like Rabbit, has a brain rather than merely fluff and it shows. He knows his days of the week and can sometimes even read, so long as no one is looking over his shoulder. He behaves rather badly to Piglet in the matter of his house, though.

Sorry about the letter! I thought it would be different...

I like the existence of Julia Oversley, though she's an infuriating character. A friend and I once had a long exchange about what Rock could possibly see in her, in which we could only credit the man with great insight or nefarious purposes.

I always assumed his purposes were utterly nefarious.

Well, it was different. I haven't seen anyone else listing ventriloquists' puppets from the 1980's. My first thoughts were all classical (Orpheus, Odysseus etc.) but then I thought that if I listed them I would have to show off my ignorance about them.
