Which Lymond Character Are You?

Congratulations, you're Francis Crawford of Lymond, for a time the Master of Culter. You're the hero and the focal point of everything. You're the quintessential romantic hero: brooding, mysterious, witty, informed, gentle, sensitive and all the rest. You should, perhaps, consider doing the dishes once in a while and speak in your native tongue when possible. In other words, show off a bit less. It won't kill you.

If I remember what it displayed correctly, 42% of us end up as Lymond. And I really, really wasn't trying to skew that way. (I'm not sure I would want to skew that way. Lymond is not someone you necessarily want to emulate.) Maybe he's so multi-talented, he covers most of the spectrum?

I disagree with their casting choice for the picture, though.

In other news, wow, I've spent most of today sleeping. No exaggeration. I guess I needed the rest?

I'm pretty sure khet_tcheba suggested O'Toole for Gabriel when she first read the series.

There's a certain type of guy who can look good dressed as a woman without looking hugely effeminate the rest of the time; I knew one of them in high school. (What? There was a minor hazing thing where he had to be in drag. He looked good.) I imagine Lymond being that way, though I can't detail precise features, as that's something at which I suck mightily.

As for being slight, I also imagine that Lymond would be one of those sorts who knows how to use his strength efficiently, rather than depending entirely on brute force to get something done.

Weren't many men of his time on the smaller side?

I think I'm thinking about this too much.

I tested out as Lymond. I wanted to be Kate.

People were smaller, due to poorer nutrition. Peter O'Toole would have been a giant. Then again, in our hypothetical movie everybody's being played by modern actors, so you scale up accordingly -- but Lymond shouldn't be the tallest one on set.

I would have been pleased to be Kate, Philippa, or Sybilla. Since all three of them rock.

Yeah, they mention that Gabriel is a lot taller than Lymond a few times.
