Hi there! Aimee again, this time with a Doctor Who character: Martha Jones. Martha comes from after "Journey's End," for those of you who know the series. For anyone who's never checked it out, Martha's the 10th Doctor's second companion. She's intelligent, brave and likes to hide her feelings, which can sometimes lead to her coming off as acidic or sulky, although she's gotten better at that. She's a soldier and a doctor, so she should at least be useful.

Feel free to hit her up for plot! She'll hop in and make herself useful no matter what, anyway, so I'm sure she'll run into someone eventually.

Hi there! I'm Aimee and I'm new! I'm bringing you Howl Pendragon from the book (not the Studio Ghibli film) Howl's Moving Castle.

If you've only seen the film, Howl won't be utterly unfamiliar to you. He's snarkier, and there are definitely some changed details from the film. The bottom line is that the film version is much nicer than this one (Diana Wynne Jones said this herself about both Howl and Sophie in the movie).

If you're not familiar with the film, it's a pretty fun fantasy. Howl is a wizard who's rumored to eat the hearts of young girls, and the protagonist ends up his cleaning lady while trying to figure out how to get him (or his fire demon Calcifer) to break a spell that added about 60 years to her life. Howl is moody, mysterious, sneaky, and lazy, but not actually a bad person. I've got links in the profile if you want to check out what Wikipedia has to say about him, and of course my write up of his personality.

Quick note about me: I work odd hours because I'm a copy editor at a newspaper, so I don't do AIM. No one's on when I am, for the most part. PMs are okay but kind of iffy, considering they don't always pop up when you log in. Email or a comment on the journal is best. Feel free to bug me at onethousandnamesATgmail.com. Looking forward to playing!
