Favorite Character?

[The Skarzs]

For some reason I really couldn't like Mattimeo for a while..... His tendency towards childish selfishness was too much. I like him better now, though, and when he just stared as the slaver literally broke a branch from beating him.... that's a cool scene.
I've always loved otters. They're swift, lethal, and totally lovable idiots. Among my favorites are Finnbar Galedeep, Leatho Shellhound, Tagg (though I didn't like him as much when he became Deyna), Shad (if he's the one who got the flowers off the mountain from the eagle, pretty sure 'twas him), Mask...... I could go on.
Among a few of my favorite vermin: Rasconza the fox, definitely Shadow, and of course Tramun Clogg. The golden fox with flat eyes from Tagg's book always appealed to me, as did the guy from Eulalia. Foxes make great villains.
And of course Balefur and Rockjaw Grang, because the Highlanders' accents are the best thing to occur in this or any other universe. Doogy Plumm is on that list too.
SO MANY CHOICES!!!

I really appreciated Mattimeo's character arc, from that brat "son of the Abbey Warrior" to a much more mature and experienced young creature. He still had some of that brashness left in the end of the book, but that was just part of him.

Also, welcome to the forum, Eila! It's great to have you here!

OTTERS? Why are otters idiots? Educate me.

I think hares, voles, and hedgehogs are shown to be idiotic...not otters.

They aren't always idiots - I mean that as a term of endearment. But you gotta admit, part of what makes 'em so great is that they'll be fighting to the death one moment and calling each other 'Fleeko Spellbrown' the next.....

[The Skarzs]

Yep.
Is that a British thing? Like drinking tea in the middle of a crisis?

[Jetthebinturong]

Yes. Absolutely.

Also yeah otters are the best.

[Maudie]

Otters are definitely the best characters. 

[Russa Nodrey]

Agreed.

[Ashleg]

Disputed.
