Because I'm impressionable and even though I promised myself to look into the idea of, you know, playing more girls, let me introduce Cú Chulainn.
Light of my life, my hero when I was a little girl, Cú Chulainn is such a player in Irish myth.
He is a blank slate, from the point of view of mortal connections, in this life. He's about 23, and he's brave and he's loyal and he's about as dumb as a box of rocks.
(Yes, this is Lindsey. Who can't play girls, apparently.)
