Allow me to be the next to jump on the Inspiration meme bandwagon.

Since Rahna's the one I write about the most, I figure I'll do her. She's also the closest thing to canon I have(well, maybe Irene could protest that, but that's off topic...).

So....explanations:

1. Belle(Beauty and the Beast)--Like the heroine of my favorite movie ever, Rahna loves her father(and cousins, in her case), but desperately longs to go have an adventure somewhere other than home. She's not adverse to falling in love/getting married, if she finds the right guy.

2. Arwen(LotR)--aside from the obvious 'they're both elves' connection, Rahna is also in love with the rightful heir to the throne of a kingdom, and feels very strongly that they are supposed to be together(so much so that she lets Anora keep the throne, so they're not identical, but close enough)

3. Tigger(Winnie the Pooh)--Rahna has a generally happy disposition, wears her heart on her sleeve, and occasionally her cheeriness gets on someone's nerves.

4. Mira(KotOR 2)--um...this is the problem with not doing this thing all in one sitting...I can't remember all my reasons Mira's an influence...crap. I know her personality is a lot like Rahna's, in that she's merciful, doesn't like to kill anyone(even someone trying to kill her; which is why Zev's around to be in Aftermath), and blunt.

5. My brother-- This is where Rahna's sarcastic streak and wittiness come from(I know the sarcasm hasn't shown up too much in Aftermath, but trust me, in-game, she was very sarcastic).

6. Kate Austen(LOST)-- Like Kate, Rahna's killed to protect someone she loves, she's in a love triangle because of leading Zevran on(I will let you decide who's Jack and who's Sawyer...), and doesn't like to talk about her past unless she really trusts you.

7. Sam Gamgee(LotR)--(Anyone wanna guess my favorite books?) Rahna has the same level of loyalty to her friends as Sam has to Frodo, to the point of being willing to do things that may appear insane to help them(see chapters 10-11 of Aftermath if you need any proof of that...). She also has the tremendous, ever-driving sense of duty that Sam does.

A few things that wouldn't fit: Me. All of her decisions were made with a what-would-I-do approach(even though I knew telling Morri no meant Alistair was gonna die. If I had been standing there, in that moment, without foreknowledge of what would happen, I would have said no. So Rahna said no).

Tulio(The Road to EL Dorado)--Tulio and Rahna are both schemers.

And musical influences:
Evanescence, Within Temptation(HUGE!), Breaking Benjamin, A Fine Frenzy, Kelly Clarkson, Jordin Sparks, and a teensy weensy dash of Selena Gomez(as in, 'Tell Me Something I Don't Know' and 'A Year Without Rain') were the biggest

EDIT: I can't believe I forgot this, but Lifehouse was a ridiculously huge musical influence. As in, there would be no Aftermath without them(Plus they're one of my favorite bands ever...).
