me, scrolling through TRC fanart for the first time after finishing the series: these are all so great! I love how everyone is capturing the spirit of the characters while drawing them so differently! I love that so many people draw Blue as a POC! I love that some people headcanon Ronan or Adam as POC! I didn’t picture Gansey wearing his glasses all the time but it’s cool that other people did!
Blue: she is badass and amazing. she don’t need no mans but her mans needs her and i’m here for it
Gansey: adorable rich nerd, seems like he would need no one but relies desperately on his friends
Ronan: “Jesus. Mary. Fuck. Shit.” also now I want a pet raven to teach to scream kerah
Adam: coca cola t-shirt is an aesthetic. he deserves the world
Noah: “I’ve been dead for 7 years” is honestly a mood. everytime he reenacts his death i want to hurl Whelk. i’m happy he has found non-murderer friends.
Henry: i like how he is so chill with everything. if i were him, i would have spent the majority of The Raven King screaming and/ or high-tailing it out of Henrietta
For absolutely no reason at all, other than that I enjoy gathering information and making lists, here are all of the characters in The Raven Cycle series by Maggie Stiefvater, in order of appearance and/or first mention.

In Opal story: also mentioned: UPS man, woman who comes to Barns, cloudy lady on bench
There was something annoyingly impressive about him, an impression that he was very tall, although he was no taller than most boys.
[...]
Three boys sat at it: one was smudgy, just as he said, with a rumpled, faded look about his person, like his body had been laundered too many times,
The one who’d hit the light was handsome and his head was shaved; a soldier in a war where the enemy was everyone else.
And the third was - elegant. It was not the right word for him, but it was close. He was fine boned and a little fragile looking, with blue eyes pretty enough for a girl.
