Hey, Faoii! Here’s some information to get you all ready for the NAME A CHARACTER contest I’m drawing for tomorrow.
I know I told you that I had three characters that were up for renaming, but I’ve since decided that that’s just not enough. So, instead, I’ve come up with 7 characters in The Last Faoii that need better names and descriptions than what I’ve had them under
The seven characters are listed below. I’ve included what they’re currently named, what they currently look like, and a brief description of their role in the story. If I draw your name in the contest tomorrow then you get to change their given name and physical aspects to whatever you desire (within reason. I will not have any Boaty McBoatface’s in this book). Unfortunately, their role in the story is fixed, so you won’t be able to change that part. But I thought that knowing a bit about them might help you to pick awesome names/descriptions!
Oh. One more thing--I know that there are only 2 male characters listed here. Sorry. The male characters in The Last Faoii are very specifically named because of how lineage works in the book, so I couldn’t offer up many of them for this contest. I’m sure you understand.
Okay, here we go! Good luck!
1. Current Name: Mollie-Faoii
Current hair color: Red.
Current eye color: Green
Age: 15
Role: Mollie is Kaiya’s shield sister and significant other in the Monastery of the Eternal Blade. Bonded for life as shieldmates, these two have done nearly everything together since birth. While intimate relationships are not unheard of in the faoii order, few couples develop a bond as strong as that of Kaiya and Mollie and there is no question about their love for one another (despite their almost-constant bickering).
2. Current Name: Faoii-Leigh
Current hair color: Chestnut brown.
Current eye color: Hazel
Age: 32
Role: Faoii-Leigh is one of the ascended of the Monastery of the Eternal Blade. She is a stalwart fighter, a fair trainer, and a woman of irrepressible spirit. During the croeli attack on Kaiya’s monastery, she fights to protect Kaiya and the other unascended maidens.
3. Current Name: Ray Goodman
Current hair color: Silver hair/black mustache
Current eye color: Dark Brown
Age: 43
Role: Ray is one of the citizens of Resting Oak-- the town located closest to Kaiya’s monastery. As a regular citizen caught in the middle of a bloody revolution, he is the representation of what might be lost in the Faoii-Croeli war, and the embodiment of everything Kaiya has sworn to protect.
4. Current Name: Linda Goodman
Current hair color: Graying blonde
Current eye color: Blue
Age: 39
Role: Linda is Ray’s wife and another symbol of everything Kaiya has sworn to uphold. Afraid of losing everything she has, but absolutely sure of the faoii Order’s invincibility and protection, she refuses to give in to the croeli demands-- no matter the cost.
5. Current Name: Samuel Harkins
Current hair color: Brown.
Current eye color: Green
Age: 16
Role: Harkins is a shy but incredibly loyal soldier in Kaiya’s inner circle. As one of the few members of Kaiya’s band not to be raised as either faoii or croeli, Harkins serves as a reminder that the war being fought affects more than just the rival factions-- and is resolute in his belief that no one can afford to sit on the sidelines.
6. Current Name: Faoii-Joanna
Current hair color: Fiery Red.
Current eye color: Black
Age: 22
Role: There is no doubt that Faoii-Joanna is mad. Driven crazy by grief and the side effects of croeli magic, she is an uncertain ally to Kaiya and her army. Best describes as a "loose cannon," Joanna has the skill and the determination to bring down her foes-- but not necessarily the mental stability to properly recognize who that is.
7. Current Name: Faoii-Elizabeth
Current hair color: none (previously blonde).
Current eye color: none (previously blue)
Age: 25
Role: Enslaved by the croeli as part of powerful spell, Faoii-Elizabeth becomes a willing servant to the gods and a possible savior to the faoii Order--but only if Kaiya can save her in time. Capable of seeing all parts of the Eternal Tapestry as well as being able to control all those affected by tonicloran, Elizabeth might be the most powerful faoii in existence.
So there you go! Doesn’t this sound like fun?? I’m so excited to see what the winners come up with! Good luck again! I’ll announce the winners tomorrow!
