thistle
salad - allegories
|
Sometimes,
people are just people. |
Sometimes,
people are metaphors. Or else, they don't quite qualify as gods,
monsters or men. |

Gloria
Lessing (a.k.a. Faith Wheeling) -
I have only barely (and confusingly) brushed on her function,
but this is what I can say about her for certain: she was born mortal
and one day another
mortal
will
take
her place.
Still,
she's been
around at least since the days of EMPIRE and
doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. |

Millicent
and Verity - I don't have anything to say about their
function(s) just yet. They've been known to give people unintelligible warnings -
or not. Millicent appears to be
a little older and a little more level headed.
Verity tends
to
be either
painfully shy or to overreact. She usually is content to follow
Millicent's lead. They do occasionally show up as adults (the
prisoner and the malcontent) - but only in serious, end-of-the-world
situations. Literally. There is at least one other iconic
little girl around. |

Gwen
Zvesti - the originator of the "people
who are metaphors"
argument, she's... well, she has something to do with universal
balances or something. Also, apparently her appearance is variable
according to how well that balance is being maintained. I guess.
She, with the debatably human Kate Raskolnikov, watches over the
dimensional portal generally referred to as the House of the Dead. |
