Line 18: Is now trying to get a [[The Fionavar Tapestry/Characters\|character sheet]] . ~~{{tropelist}}~~ {{franchisetropes}} * [[Action Girl]]: Sharra, Imraith-Nimphais * [[Aerith and Bob]]: [[Five-Man Band\|The Five]] from Earth all have standard modern names while the characters from Fionavar tend to have strange exotic names. However, there are a few characters who have more standard names, like Matt Soren. * [[All Myths Are True]] with a hearty dose of [[Crossover Cosmology]]: Fionavar itself. * [[Exclusively Evil]]: The Svart Alfar and the Sluaghs. * [[Anyone Can Die]]: And a lot of them do. {{spoiler\|Though two of the main characters who die come [[Back ~~From~~from the Dead]].}} * [[Badass]]: Diarmund, Aileron, Dave, Torc, Matt Soren, {{spoiler\|Arthur and then Lancelot}} and more! * [[Badass Normal]]: Out of the Five it's Dave. {{spoiler\|He's the only one that isn't a reincarnation or gains/awakens powers, relying instead on his strength and wits.}} * [[Back ~~From~~from the Dead]]: {{spoiler\|Matt Soren and Paul/Pwyll Twiceborn. Averted by Kevin, Imraith-Nimphais, Diarmuid, Finn and Darien.}} * [[Battle Royale With Cheese]]: The final battle in The Darkest Road, and how! * [[Beauty Equals Goodness]]: Jennifer/ {{spoiler\|Guinevere}}, The [[Our Elves Are Different\|Lios Alfar]]. Doubly Subverted with Avaia as she is beautiful from far away, but smells foul and has a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth. Line 55 ⟶ 54: ** ''[[The Chick]] - Jennifer'' * [[Gentle Giant]]: Literally, the Paraiko. * [[Go Mad ~~From~~from the Revelation]]: Averted when the protagonists learn that {{spoiler\|for over a thousand years, every Lios Afar who set sail to the West for their version of heaven... was devoured by a sea monster set to lie in wait for them by the [[Big Bad]].}} "Most hated by the Dark, for their name was Light." * [[A God Am I]]: Several of the characters are either gods or demigod offspring of said gods. * [[Handsome Lech]]: Hands down: Diarmuid {{spoiler\|(at least until he and Sharra hook up).}} In a way Kevin Laine could qualify too. Line 86 ⟶ 85: {{reflist}} [[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Literature]] [[Category:Literature of the 1980s]] [[Category:Fantasy Literature]] [[Category:~~The~~Works ~~Fionavar~~by ~~Tapestry~~Guy Gavriel Kay]] {{DEFAULTSORT:Fionavar Tapestry, The}}
