Description
Something I've been working on for a while.

For those of you ignorant, Tortall is the fictional realm created by Tamora Pierce, goddess of everything that is quintessential medieval female fantasy. These are the five main leads in the books concerning Tortall.

Top left: That's Alanna, the original heroine. I'm not going to tell you everything, but I will say that she masquerades as a boy to learn to be a knight and is short, redhead, and rather magically Gifted.

Top Right: That's Alanna's daughter, Aly. I won't spoil the father, but Aly is a plucky young gir who doesn't have any goals in life until she's stolen by slavers and sold to the Copper Isles, where she becomes embroiled in a rebellion to put the old raka (native) people back in power. With her is her romantic interest, the crow-man Nawat.

Middle Right: Veraldaine Sarrasri is the only foreigner and real girly-girl of the fine. Daine for short can speak to animals, and the rest of the series basically explores all of the fantastic crap she can do besides talk to animals, how she got the ability to talk to animals, and her role in the controlling of the Immortals who, after three hundred years, have been re-released from the Divine Realms into the Mortal.

Bottom: This is Tamora's current heroine, Beka. Her series is a prequel to the rest, taking place a hundred years earlier in time in Tortall's capital city, Corus. Beka is the Corus equivalent to a cop, or a Provost's Guard/"Dog", and brings to the field the ability to hear dead voices and a pair of chillingly blue eyes.

Middle Left: Kel is basically Alanna's successor. She's the first lady knight to have been known to be a lady since, well, a while, but she's completely the opposite of Alanna. She's got the patience of a rock and the stature of one as well, but she's really quite funny and an excellent leader.

I've been writing too many English essays lately.
