Princess Sophie |
||||||
|
Princess Sophie is your typical damsel in distress and if there was any form of women’s liberation in her kingdom (which there isn’t), she would probably set it back by a few hundred years. In fact, it is more likely that ardent supporters of women’s lib’ would actually look at her, realise just how hopeless their task is and go straight back to the kitchen with ‘please oppress me’ placards around their necks. She is extremely attractive but fails to realise this and despairs that the secret love of her life, a certain Dwarf, will ever fall for her. She is incredibly stupid, fairly naive, ignorant of the ways of the world and totally pathetic in every way. She also has a habit of fainting at the first sign of trouble or, for that matter, the first sign of anything at all. This may explain why a group of incompetent Snirks find it so easy to kidnap her... |

From The Book |

“As she turned from her window and into the plush room that was her bedchamber, the attractive Princess took a deep breath in order to sigh and nearly choked as she swallowed a whole grape. Slowly recovering and with eyes watering, Sophie gazed deeply into her favourite wall mirror and wished that she were more beautiful. In fact, the ‘mirror’ was a recent portrait of the last court jester, Bodmin (or Bod-the-Bore as he had been known). Sophie was apparently unaware of her error and constantly referred to her ears as ‘those horrible long pointed red and yellow things’, much to the bafflement, consternation and embarrassment of the King and Queen.” Copyright © 2002 Andrew Attias.
