People have asked me what the characters of Wintersong look like, to which I always respond Whatever you want them to look like!
I’m being facetious, of course, but I think people want to know what actors I would cast in the roles. The honest truth is, I don’t really have actors in mind when I write my characters. I don’t like the idea of attaching a Real Face to fictional people,1 plus I tend to leave physical description pretty open-ended in the books. But if you really want to know what my characters look like, I’ll provide you with some visual aids I’ve drawn myself.
