I thought this might be fun. Most people like to visualize while they read. What do you all think the characters look like? MWT tells us very little as far as physical description. She probably describes Eddis with the most detail. Here's what I found in the books.
Gen: All we really know, up to now, is that he has dark hair, and is somewhat small. The magus talks of his "dark coloring", and in KOA, it says that his "normally dark skin" was pale. In KOA, his figure is called "slight," and we learn that Teleus (captain of the guard) is nearly a head taller than the king. His eyes are "like pools of darkness," so they must be dark, too.
Attolia: She has black hair and is as tall as the magus. She is beautiful, has perfect teeth, and her voice is quiet and lovely. Her skin is flawless and so fair as to be translucent. (Hmmm...I think I hate her.) In KOA, we learn that she is "several inches taller" than Eugenides, and that she seldom smiles, and then only at those to whom she is close.
Eddis: She has short, curly, black hair, stands like a soldier, her nose was broken and mended crooked. Gen says she is short, broad-shouldered, and hawk-faced. But she has a lovely smile.
The Magus: He is tall, and is fit and strong. He has a high-bridged nose and light gray eyes. His forehead is covered by wrinkles from the sun and too much frowning. Most of his hair is gray, although his eyebrows are still dark.
See, isn't this fun? Other characters? I have ideas, but let's hear what you think.
I tried to post this to the main page, but it wouldn't let me without a username and password. Oh well.
