The About The Characters<\/strong><\/a> post series focuses on the minor characters in The Wall Of Night<\/strong><\/a> series, in large part because:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s the presence of the smaller characters that \u201cmakes\u201d a story, creating texture around the main points of view.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

~ from my<\/em> Legend Award Finalist’s Interview, 2013<\/p>\n

Initially, the series focused exclusively on characters from The Heir of Night<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, but now I\u2019m continuing on with minor characters from both The Gathering Of The Lost<\/strong><\/em><\/a> and Daughter of Blood<\/strong><\/em><\/a> \u2014 in alphabetical order, by name, of course!<\/p>\n

Currently the focus is on \u201cM\u201d\u2014but it may be a challenge to equal or better the number of entries for \u201cL.\u201d Consider the gauntlet thrown down! 😊<\/p>\n

Manan:<\/strong> an inn-wife and healer on the Northern March of Emer, in the Southern Realms of Haarth<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAha, so you are awake at last!\u201d said a voice so smooth and rich it made Carick think of cream. The door opened wider, admitting one of the largest women he had ever seen. She must have been at least six feet tall, with a mass of curling, dark brown hair piled up haphazardly and kept in place by combs. The body between shoulder and ankle billowed generously and was arrayed in layers of blouse, kirtle, and a lavishly embroidered cote that made her seem larger still. \u2026 Carick\u2026thought she was beautiful, with skin as creamy as her voice and the largest, merriest, velvet-brown eyes he had ever seen. It was only when she came to stand by the bed and smiled down at him that he saw the deeply etched crow\u2019s-feet at the corners of her eyes, and threads of silver in her dark hair. \u201cWell, well,\u201d the woman said, smiling still, \u201cwe were starting to think your sleep was going to last forty years, like the young man in the fable.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
