Graceling Read-Along: Character profiles + CONTEST!

Hey all! 

First, I want to remind everyone that we are still hosting a GRACELING FANART CONTEST! Click HERE for more information! We don’t have any entries yet, sadly. 
Remember you can enter with art, a piece of writing, or even a fancy picture of the books! 
I can’t draw people but I might draw the weapons they each use, or even post instagram pictures! :) 


Erika and I are almost done talking about book 2 of the Graceling set - Fire! Today, we’ll be giving the character profile of one of the characters of the book. Erika’s character profile will be of Brigan, and I’m doing one about Fire :) 

Name: Lady Fire
Age: 18
Home/Kingdom: The Dells
Relation to the Throne: gets married to Brigan, prince of the Dells. 
Background: Fire is the daughter of a monster, Cansrel. When she was old enough, she murdered her father and staged it as a suicide. They had a very difficult relationship, and people often shunned her not only because of who she was as a monster, but also because the fact that Cansrel, someone who had done a lot of harm in the Dells, was her father. Her mother, Jessa, called her Fire when she was born because of ho her hair looked like fire. Her parents gave her to Brocker and Donal for them to look after her and teach her about her powers. She has always been friends with Archer. 
Personality: Fire is strong minded and self-aware. She has a hard time coming to having positive relationships with people with a high rank or authority, but easily befriends others. She is very careful and aware, and has an underlying wish to have freedom. 
Close friends: Aside from her servants while she stays at the castle, Fire is very close to Archer, Brocker, Donal and Small. At the end of the book she marries Brigan, and becomes friends with his brothers and daughter. 


On Monday, we are starting Bitterblue, the one I’m most excited about! We’ll be posting tons in the next two weeks! 

Have a great day! :D
