Favorite fictional character challenge!

[Siggi]

A filthy mooded, redbearded dwarf, broader than he is tall, regularly rubbing a greasy eyepatch.

Hey, EinBein, that's ol' Gotrek Gurnisson!

Nice one!

You won the first price

[higgins]

Nice one!

I do notice a curious lack of bastardly heroines though! You guys surely must have some favorites.

[EinBein]

What is the definition of a bastardly heroine?

Should he be reckless? Self-centered? But nevertheless does some good without willing it?

[higgins]

I just meant that all of the suggested descriptions have been of male characters so far.

[EinBein]

Of course lack of english, sorry

[hector]

I suspect it's largely because the majority of female characters in fantasy fiction are described entirely by their clothing (or lack thereof).

[Marras]

Let's give it a try...

She has brown, unkept hair and dirty face. Her eyes are narrow like she's constantly mad at the world.

[higgins]

Arya?

[Marras]

She is older than Arya and from another TV show.

[higgins]

Okay, one more tip though -- don't begin a description with "he" or "she" ... Instead, make a statement about what or who she actually is. If we indeed had talked about Arya then "A young girl with brown, unkempt hair and dirty face" gives a much better picture of the character. Try and modify your description for just that extra punch of flavor.

[Marras]

Okay, a bit edited version

A roguish woman with brown, unkept hair and dirty face that has narrow eyes like she's constantly mad at the world.

[higgins]

That's way better, but I can't think of any dirty faced females aside from Arya off the top of my head.

[Marras]

I'll tell who she is a bit later in case someone else wants to guess. As a hint both characters I have posted are somehow connected.

[EinBein]

I don't know any TV series
