Because Gen is a man of many personalities, and I'm curious.

Allow me to explain my answer. I wavered between the last two and then picked "Thief of Eddis". I love love loooove Gen (as we all do) no matter what "personality", as you put it, he is playing up at the moment.

Actually, KoA was when I absolutely fell in love with the series, but...Thief of Eddis is a lifelong title, so technically as King he's still the Thief.

I hesitated between Thief and King: I loved Gen's almost carefree attitude as the Thief, but ended up choosing King because Gen is still there, if somewhat more subdued, and while he makes a brilliant Thief, he will be an even better King.

I put King. Because I like him breaking Costis's brain. :D

I chose the King as well. I think it's rather hard to pin Gen down to just one category personally, but I love how as King he is still able to incorporate his Thief characteristics and use them to become something even greater. :)

I also chose King. I suspect he will incorporate of his Thief incarnations in the course of his reign!

Hmmm. Italics fail again. That was supposed to say, "...incorporate all of his Thief..." with all in italics. Apparently I am still the most technologically challenged being on the face of this planet.

...gutter rat Gen is not getting enough love *clings to minority vote lovingly*

Is this a trick question for choosing favorite Gen in book one, two, or three? That's about where the dividing lines are if he can't be more than one of the descriptions at a time (because he IS always the Eddisian thief, but he's only that alone in QoA).

I chose the Thief because that was the role when I fell in love with Eugenides. I even remember the exact scene where it went from, "Aw, I love Gen because he's so clever and yet so cute." to, "Holy smokes, Eugenides is kind of sexy! He is going to make me swoon!....I want him." It was the scene where he goes to kidnap the Magus, and he's standing in the shadows, all mysterious like. He seems suddenly less mischievous and more ruthless and cunning. To me that's the point where he pulls out of the gloom about his hand, and goes into Clever Thief Mode 2000!! "I can steal anything, even with one hand." *swoons*

Interesting question! I chose "Thief of Eddis" because that's when he's at his cleverest, and I love to watch him steal stuff (does that make me a second-hand kleptomaniac?). Gen the gutter rat would be my second choice, and King of Attolia comes in last, because it's such a sad role.

confession: that would be why I picked Gen the Thief, because he's that alone in QoA, and that one's my favorite.

also, [livejournal.com profile] rosalui, if you WEREN'T thinking of him as such in QoA, how would you classify that? I'll agree he's definitely a different Thief than he was in the beginning of that one (two-handed and still cocky--well, we can assume he was cocky, before he was almost caught--think about how he washed his hands and then strolled off to get dinner), but...hm. Now I have to think.

also I object, as usual, to the lack of ticky boxes in this poll. XD

I went with thief, because I think it's the one that makes him the happiest. And I like happy Gen best. :-)

You mean Queen's Thief as the boy that we see very little of but hear about enough to understand then? His less-eventful (for lack of a better word) time spent in Eddis?

So, Jade, how would you define QoA Gen? I want your classification too!

If there were ticky boxes no one would ever make a decision XP
