TheBoy's Points Story: One Summer in the Foothills

TheBoy's points question: From Teacher's perspective, what's the most intimate moment Teacher and Connin ever had? (Keeping in mind we don't ever get to see Teacher's inner perspective, so this will be relative.)

Ellika, Princess of Tremont

Ellika, Princess of Tremont

Here is Ellika in her ridiculous "centerpiece hat" from book one. Smiling She is the character most modeled after an actual person, in this case, the actress Kimberly Nixon.

Sarianna's Points Story: Keeping Oneself to Oneself

For her points story, Sarianna asked for something about Sedra's first day at court, author's choice on perspective. Silly human, giving me the choice.

Gudy's Bonus Story: A Balancing of Accounts

Gudy asked for his points story, and I'm paraphrasing, how did the Teacher find the twins, and how did Teacher decide to sponsor them for the Temple? He gets two questions for all the work he does in the wiki, but I reserve the right to answer in two parts. Here's part one, part two to follow soon.

Impertinence and Propriety

Allis and Issak at the Temple

Allis and Issak at the Temple

This is an informal image of Allis and Issak in Temple garb. From their expressions in the full body portrait, Temmin has just said something ridiculous as usual. This is very much as I've always imagined the twins to look like, especially Allis.

Nye's Bonus Story: Best Beloved

Surprise! Bonus story! This is one of the stories Nye earned; she asked "From Senik's perspective - What is his most cherished memory of the greatest love of his life?"

Temmin at Whithorse

Temmin at Whithorse

This is Alice Fox's first sketch of Temmin, which was rejected solely because he wasn't dressed terribly princely-like. I've decided this is what he looked like at Whithorse and whenever he goes out riding early in the morning. In his hand is the disreputable cap he hides from Jenks, and which I haven't written about for fear Jenks will find out. Smiling
