Hihi! Thank you so, so much. Yep, I've watched my copy of TLU about a million times and I've read the book about twice that =D The book is amazing, I highly recommend it--most especially now since it's been re-issued in a double volume with one of Peter S. Beagle's other works. I'm hoping if there are illustrations included, they're different from the other printings I have...but I seem to have gone off-topic. O.o;;

At the time I thought it was a funny alias for the character considering the lady is so mild by comparison. Messing w/the spelling is just what I do. I'm glad somebody noticed really (or bothered to notice aloud), it lets me know TLU isn't OVERLY obscure.

Again, thanks. :)

"Cruel?" she asked. "How can I be cruel? That is for mortals." But then she did raise her eyes and they were great with sorrow, and with something very near to mockery. She said, "So is kindness." (The Lady Amalthea to Molly Grue)

Ehee, thanks much. And I agree with you on the chest bit. If you have time to prowl around the rest of my folios you'll note it's a pretty consistent problem I have--worse when I work without references as I believe I did w/this one. I'm working on it. blush :D

I think perhaps I should've noted that the sword is scabbarded somewhere in the descrip. Most seem to just say "sword" but that's not a scale blade. At any rate it was the quickest fill and the easiest part to do. ^_^
