I've been working on writing The Novel and I've actually been going places, but a major character is about to show up and she doesn't have a name yet. I've got a few possibilities that are floating around, but I thought I'd ask the opinion of others.

To preface this: the character is an old woman living on the outskirts of a small village in prerevolutionary France. She's actually a witch, and though the people of the village expect that something strange is happening with her, they don't know all the details; they just think she's the crazy old lady who has a good knowledge of herbs, medicine, and healing. She's in her seventies, with long, bright white hair and piercing eyes (I actually imagine that she looks very much like my last semester's English professor, come to think of it).

with meaning stuff in mind, i like caprice and chimere. i think i like caprice better though.

Yeah, in terms of meaning those are the ones I like best, but they don't quite *sound* write for the character...Caprice sounds too young and Chimere sounds too soft. I actually ended up going with Anouka (because Anouk sounded too harsh and potentially masculine), despite it having no real meaning I can discover.

Also, I keep meaning to steal this particular userpic from you and forgetting. Sometime I really will nab it.

Haha, you have no idea how amazing you are. I love the movie, and specifically the scene in your image because it's when she's singing possibly my favorite lines in the entire movie.
