OK, So you are hosting a tea party, with cakes and tea, its the real deal. Which five Fictional characters would you invite and why?
Bea and Toph from nobody's girl by Sarra Manning ellie, Magda and Nadine from Girls out late by Jacqueline wilson
Louis Wu and Nessus from Larry Niven's Ringworld. Reverend Mother Jessica Atriedes from Frank Herbert's Dune. R. Daneel Olivaw and Hari Seldon from Isaac Asimov's Foundation series. All are sentients with unique views of the workings of the universe.
Inara from Firefly Leeloo from 5th Element Mikaela from Transformers movies Baby Doll from Sucker Punch Borte from the film Mongol Would be a nice tea party. Invitee number six would be Rory from Gilmore Girls, as she'd also be fun to talk to.
Samuel Hamilton and Lee from John Steinbeck's East of Eden Lazarus Long, from various stories by Robert A. Heinlein Pilar, from Ernest Hemingway's For Whom The Bell Tolls Marlow, from various stories by Joseph Conrad
Most of my favorite characters are demented in some way or another and would make for awkward conversation.
Yeah, you should also invite Valeria from Conan the Barbarian, Lt. Ellen Ripley from Alien and the first Red Sonya.
Odysseus - imagine the yarns! Clytaemnestra - scary good fun Hamlet - caught on a good day, a magnificent, spell-bindingly intelligent guest Becky Sharp - feisty, sharp, sexy Montmorency - the dog from 3 Men in a Boat... because he's a dog
Tyrion Lannister, Cheranadine Zekalwe, Roland Deschain, Arthur Dent and Faith Lehane. There ought to be an interesting conversation or two in there. (Darth Vader would be invited, but I'm saving him for a one-on-one meeting).
Eponine Thenardier -fascinating Bassanio - to talk philosophy Huckleberry Finn - unless messy children aren't allowed Bertie Wooster - for being a good egg Michael Henchard - flawed, which makes me want to know more
It would probably help if people would identify the books these characters come from. We haven't all read the same things. Who, for example, is "Anomander Rake"?
Kimi from Island of the Sequined Love Nun Eli from Let the Right One in Lani from What Happened to Lani Garver I'd wear my best suit, and we'd have a trap party.
