Title: Your Favorite TRF Characters
Post by: Tudor-Diva on July 22, 2010, 09:12:42 AM
I love getting feedback from you all.  Helps me do my job at TRF better.

Who are your top 3 favorite characters, those you look forward to seeing return, you seek out, you've have great interactions with, who've entertained you?

since I don't get out much (damn near chained to the anvil, escaping for privy and food breaks), the only cast I really get to interact with are those who wander by, and the Scottish Court which is near us. So, my experiences have been happily sighing at several of the lasses in parade (I'm a closet lecherous romantic, long story), requesting tunes from Angus the bagpiper (love that guy), and making stuff for cast members on rare occasions. During those visits, however, while not in their principle setting, I have found all of them to be quite pleasant to deal with, even staying in character when they weren't "on the clock", so to speak. Then again, Jeff sneaks up on us regularly to see if we've set any patrons on fire, so... :D

Jack - this might be the fae you are thinking of.  I believe her name is spelled Ima (it is pronounced "ee-ma") and she does sand paintings by The Pavilion shoppe near the front gate.  She also sings, plays the banjo and flute.  Here she is near the end of the day at TRF heading towards one of the unofficial pub sings.

This is a really tough question because of the multitude of talent at our grand faire.  Three that come to mind are:

Lulu de Marsaille - the charming French Joust Maiden
Poppa Elf - Roger is always a delight
Captain Fletcher - a veteran crowd pleaser

I'm going to cheat here, but would be remiss if I did not mention actor, fighter, and pyrotechnician, Oskar Hasselhoff ... surely one of the most multi-talented performers at TRF.

Seconding Oskar, known him for so long I forget to separate the friendship from the appreciation of the character, same with Cap'n Fletcher :-)

Our family has taken fun interacting or just sitting back and watching him walk the lanes and interact with others.

She'll get you for that. And maybe post a really snarky picture.

Why do you think I said it? On the other hand, I didn't mean for everyone else to stop posting!

I haven't seen Him in awhile - but I've missed the Fairy Godfather! What a fun guy!

Next would have to be the Centaur - who else lets me lean on his side while restin' me mug o' brew on his back as if it were a bar... and I'll never forget the vision of him non-chalantly strollin' outta the Men's privy adjacent t' the Sea Devil...

Let's see, then there's Sir Randolph who would hawk outside th' Prince of Wales Tavern...

And Cliff who asked Collette to toss me from the Prince of Wales th' one All Hallows when I was "making the clients uncomfortable"...

And th' Bonny Bar Wench Collette who played along with me in said "tossin' from th' pub"!

God bless th' prime rib trenchers at th' Prince of Wales!
