i love you tenar of the ring i love you harrowhark nonagesimus i love you wintrow vestrit

i love you characters who's identity is intrinsically tied to a place and their role in that place and are then ripped away. who have to learn how to live and who they are outside of that.

i love you characters who's faith is a core part of who they are as a person and deeply interwoven with their sense of self, but who find themselves having to abandon it or challenge it. who still carry it with them anyway, but only in small ways. who retain the values or the little rituals even if the devoutness is gone.

“A portrait of Malta Vestrit” by Francesca Resta Digital/Corel Painter www.nijiart.it My late entry for this week Month of Love challenge, with theme “Beauty”. When I read this theme I knew I had to paint a portrait of Malta: she is a character from the Liveships Trilogy by Robin Hobb and both Love and Beauty have great importance in her life, but she matured so much during the story and with her changed also the meaning she gave to Love and Beauty. This is how I imagine her after the end of Ship of Destiny, it’s a very free interpretation, I’m not sure it perfectly matches the description in the book... it’s just how I picture her in my mind. There is no particular reason for painting a locket with her portrait, but I do think it’s something that Reyn could have.

Paragon’s personalities

So I don’t know if we get an explanation later (I’m halfway through ship of destiny) but a lot of times Paragon is referred to as having two personalities, one a little boy who is nervous but wants to please and the other an older angrier man (possibly where he gets his violent tendencies?

But I was wondering the actual cause of this duality as to me there seem two potential sources:

1) the fact that the wizardwood used to make him cane from two different dragon ‘cacoons’. His plants ect never properly line up because of this. Are these two conflicting personality the underlying personalities of the dragons residing in his wizardwood?

Or

2) is the nervous boy persona as a result of all the memories and pain he took from Kennit as a child? And the older gruffer personality is the one that is truely his?

Or maybe a third option is that it’s a combination of both? One of the dragons/aspects of his personality was young, boyish and fun but then Kennits emotions and memories made him scared? And the older dragons reaction to this was to become violent?

Do we also think that Paragon’s madness is due to this internal conflict of the two dragons and that he’d always have gone mad no matter his circumstances or do we just think it’s a direct result of his time as a pirate ship?
