As fantasy characters go, I could do worse.

I mean, I could be the elf princess. I look AWFUL in pink taffeta. And at least I get the witty quote thing going on.

If I were less distracted, this could lead into a rant about stereotypical roles in fantasy. But, it's a Tuesday, so I'll leave that for the rest of you.

You would be the Wizard Mentor. The Wizard Mentor is the shrewd old enchanter (usually equipped with a white beard, staff, and supply of witty remarks) who takes it upon himself to turn the protagonist into a Hero.

Problem is that the Wise Old Mentor has a good chance of kicking the bucket in the process.

Pink? Pink would be TACKY on you. For you, darling, light aqua.

Light Aqua? Sounds like an anime fantasy name. Though "Wizard Aqua" has some potential as well.

Yeah, there's some stereotypes in there. And then again, there aren't. Where is the lovable rogue? (Their Thief is a coward.)

I thought the rogue was supposed to be both cowardly and lovable. Sport of like Danny Kay in The Kings Minstral, or whatever that flick was called.

And anyway, is it really cowardice, or just the sort of enhanced sense of self preservation one needs to survive a world full of Dark Lords and heroes?
