Princess Test

Edit: I fixed the bad numbering on the test.
This is a test you can take to see which fairy tale character you are. These are all "princesses" from some of my fairy tale retellings. So no boys. I can do another one for boys later. You can post your answers in a comment and I will reply with who you are.

Are you Cassandra Rell from "Warrior Princesses of Fairy Land?" She is a cheerful girl who doesn't get let down by a lot of bad luck and makes the best of the situation. But she will fight tooth and claw for her friends.

Are you Isabella Beauty? She is also from "Warrior Princesses of Fairy Land." She is a little more wild then her friend Cassie and isn't afraid to stand up for what she believes in. She doesn't care what others think about her. But she cares what others think about her friends and family.

Are you Polly Towers, from "Warrior Princesses of Fairy Land?" As the youngest in her family she tends to be a bit more childish then her friends. She is a loner and likes doing things on her own, but isn't afraid to fight for her friends and family.

Are you Blanche White? She is also from "Warrior Princesses of Fairy Land." She is older then her friends. She is kind and gentle and dislikes to see anyone unhappy, even her enemies.

 Are you Alice Snow from "Fading Roses?" She is timid and shy, until she really gets to know someone, then she will talk. She prefers to be with her family. She never looks for adventure but it finds her.

Are you Clara Snow? She is from "Fading Roses" too. Clara rushes into things, never stops to think. Laughs a great deal and is friendly with everyone. Unless of course they are being mean to her family or friends.

Are you Rose? She is from "The Night Thief." Rose loves to read and play musical instruments. She is a beautiful but not vain. She dreams of being a famous musician in Italy. She is sensible but not afraid of danger.

Are you Marie Hawk from "The Night Thief?" She prefers the company of animals to humans but enjoys hanging out with her friends occasionally. She has a short explosive temper.

My family as Characters in my books

A friend of mine made a similar post on her blog, but using movie characters, so I decided to do the same thing, but only using my own characters from my books. By the way these are not our real names, those of you who know my mom's blog will know who is who though.

Samwise is a bit of Lewis Bennet. He can literally make things out of junk. He is also a bit of-

Hamish Squalder. Can be a bit of a grump when interrupted in what he's doing, but he will do anything for a friend. Both of these boys are from my "Planet Moldrin series."

 Galadriel I think is mostly like Jane. Not the super adventurous type. But not one to shy away when adventure finds her. More concerned about others then herself. Also from "Planet Moldrin series." she is also similar to-

Jessica Benson from "The Night Thieves." In spite of  past injuries, Jessica isn't afraid of a facing the future. Although, she is not completely comfortable with strangers and prefers to sit at home with an interesting book, she is not shy.

Eowyn (myself) I believe is a little bit of Cassandra Rell, who tries to do what is right, but things don't always go as expected. She is from "Warrior Princess of Fairy Land series." I think I also have some of-

Rowana. She can be headstrong, likes to put things off until the last minute then rush to finish. Comes up with a maybe not so bright plan right on the spur of the moment, yet cares dearly for her friends and family despite all their faults. She is from "Burnt."

Frodo is David Jemson. He succeeds at everything he puts his mind too. Yet, is quick to judge others and easily irritated. A natural born leader with a brilliant mind. He is from my Justice Hero timeline, which means he appears in multiple books, including "Planet Moldrin series."

Rosie is Elise from my "Prince Charming Diaries." She can be forgotten in the background as a quiet follower, but when given the chance will show that she shine.

Eleanor is Emiline from "Sword of Light." She is impulsive and rushes into things, which later she regrets but has no wish to back out of. She is also-

Marie Hawk from "The Night Thief." She loves her friends, but has an explosive temper and can misunderstand others easily and take things personally.

Merry is Barnum Bailey from "Planet Moldrin Series." He takes things as they come, has a mild temper and likes to joke. He thinks he is wildly hilarious. Others will disagree. He is also-

Joey Doolittle from "The Night Thief." He somehow has a way of annoying other people. He is a practical joker and has a slow temper. But when he does lose his temper he can get really really angry.

Pippin is Daniel Grant from "Protectors of the Kingdom." A trouble maker. He is not afraid of getting into trouble and danger, although sometimes he prefers to stay out of the mess especially if it means he is about to get a serious punishment. He is also-

Joseph Raswel from "The Adventures of a Pirate." He throws himself into a every fight with pleasure. But sometimes he can be mistaken for a much younger because he often fails to act his age.

Bilbo is Buck from "Ranger's Bow." Can be clumsy and go unnoticed, except as a fool. Is often quiet but is actually quite happy. He is also-

Daniel Gathron from "The Cloaked Raider." He has one hero in life and follow that hero everywhere, just to be there when his hero needs someone to do his dirty work.

Poppy is Georgie from "The Gardener Children series." A younger sister in a big family, which has more boys then girls. She prefers hanging out with the boys then with the girls, and loves anything with trouble. Has one main way of avoiding work- disappearing quickly. Not afraid of getting really dirty. She also has a bit of-

Christina from "Ranger's Bow." A happy person who always likes to rush into things. When in trouble automatically assumes someone else has the solution all ready for her.

Marigold has a bit of Mildred March in her, from "Planet Moldrin series." Doesn't care for hard work, tries to avoid certain things, and is often mistaken for a sweet little girl who should be wearing a cute dress instead of thinking hard. She also has a bit of-

 Juliana Howard from "Adventures of a Pirate." Likes pretty clothes and being clean but prefers going on adventures with her best friend.

 Kili is like a hundred percent Benny Gardener from "Gardener Children." Wild impetuous three year old, who has things to do and places to see. He is also-

Dominic Corkilin from "The Dragon-Slayer Trilogy. Is easily disappointed and hurt when he thinks his hero has made a poor choice or is feeling betrayed. Willing to let others make his choices but has a stubborn mind of his own.

God Bless You All,

This is a song, Anima Christi, is a recording of the adult choir at my Church singing. It is one of my all time favorites.

Ranger's Bow Character drawings

I now have a bunch of drawings of the Ranger's Bow characters, which I will post.

 Buck, (Francis Andrew Daniel Stephen Joseph Peter Meldrum) I think I made his hair a bit to long. Oops.

Christina. An orphan from Nimrode.

 Hansel Arrowhead. One of the Nimrode rangers.

Dan, a ranger's apprentice from Nimrode.

A Ranger Captain from Nimrode, who is not from the same group as Hansel, Buck and Dan.

 Raider Captain, Narik. He was the one who originally captured Buck and Christina then sold them into slavery. They only become allies out of necessity.

 Skara, daughter of Buck's temporary master.

Boswel. Skara's younger brother.

 Andrew. One of the pirates who captured Buck and companions. (Which is everyone in the pictures above except the captain)

 Hyacinth, whom the pirates "rescued" then made their prisoner.

Sky Heavenview. Hyacinth's twin sister, whom the pirates also rescued but let go for a very greedy reason.

You can tell who all the pirate's prisoners are by the yellow vests they are wearing. They were supposed to be sheepskins but don't really look anything like sheepskin.

Prince Charming diary character drawing

In a previous post I had two covers from my prince charming diaries. These are some of the characters.

 Jaden is the oldest. He likes to boss others around. His biggest mistake was bossing a fairy. He ended up a frog.

 Prince James never wants to do anything besides hunting. His worst nightmare is getting married. When the fairy tells him that only he can awaken the princess from sleep, he procrastinates as long as possible.

 James' is Justin's younger twin. He adored nothing more then himself. His pride got him turned into a beast.

 Joseph thinks about no one but himself. His chief pleasure is hunting. When he meets a girl in a tower he has to start thinking about how his rash actions get others in trouble.

 John is Joseph's younger twin. Like James his biggest nightmare is marriage. That is until he meets a  wonderful girl in the forest. To bad his mother is determined that he choose a bride the old fashioned way, at a ball.

 Jerome is the youngest brother. He loves to hear himself talk. When he also meets a girl in the forest, he goes to his brothers for advice on how to talk to them. ((To those of you who have seen "Snow White: The Queen's Fair Daughter" imagine something along the lines of that one scene with the prince and his tutor))

 Princess Elise, the youngest in the family and commonly called little sis, has been treated like a baby for so long that she is a bit spoiled. But when her father remarries and her brothers are transformed into swans, Elise must grow up and actually take responsibility.

 Prince Kane is the charming brothers' cousin. He is the most sensible one of the lot, although he loves hunting a little to much. His mother is determined that he will make a better marriage then his cousins. So she tests all the potential women to make sure they are a really princess, much to her son's embarrassment.

 The "good" fairy. Most of the brothers would argue that she is really evil.

 Belle. She is a merchant's daughter, and was forced to endure James at his worst. When he looked like a beast as well as acted like one.

 The evil fairy that Justin kills.

Princess Elanor, Justin's greatest nightmare. His betrothed. She was not overly impressed with him either.
