Favorite Fictional Character

Thanks to the creative mind of Ryan at Wordsmithonia who started this on Wednesdays.

I do not have a picture of my character this week, as she is a character out of a book. I have just read these books and reviewed them here, The Crown Conspiracy & Avempartha by Michael J. Sullivan. The character I have for you today is Princess Arista. Yes, she is a princess. But she is no ordinary princess, actually the people of the kingdom believe her to be a witch.

You find out that she has spent time studying under an amazing and powerful wizard, who is stow away in a magically protected prison. She learned many great things from him. But her biggest attribute, I like, is she is not the pretty and airy princess taking needle point and knitting with her nose in the air. She has studied books and is very smart. She likes her solitude, therefore has her rooms in the tower. She is suspicious and doesn't trust anyone. But, her doubts are just. She sees enough around them of how the people are acting and saying to get there is something going on that is not right. Even with the people she loves and has grown up around.

Princess Arista keeps an open mind and can think there is potential of betrayal from anyone, yet it doesn't stop her from working with them. She doesn't let her heart get the best of her. Even though she does not want someone to be on the wrong side, she still investigates it. She has a good sense for people along with being a good person herself.

I love the strength she exhibits with the people and the knowledge she has on all things. Almost as she is a little wiser than her years. I do hope to read more of Princess Arista in the future books.
