    Hallie:












    Quote:
    Kind of a cheat to use a 3 chapter story, I admit... but the whole thing together is likely under one chapter of "Untold Tales". This was my first Hallie solo story, and as such it was meant to illustrate her abilities and personality. It also gave her a nemesis too, so bonus!


A fine choice for Hallie, if in 3 parts. \:\)

    Magweed:












    Quote:
    Hey look, another three part story... and this time, the character I'm trying to illustrate doesn't even show up in the 2nd chapter! Really, while my favorite adventure story featuring Maggie is the original Tale of Magweed and Griffin it unfortunately does a horrible job of cluing in a new reader as to how the character currently fits into the Parodyverse. This one, however, does a better job of showing how the twins relate to the rest of the cast, although they're mostly passive here.


I agree the original Magweed tale wouldn't work to explain how she fits into the PV, so this one works nicely.

    Griffin:

    Finally! A single link for a single character, as the question originally intended! Admittedly, here I'm counting on the new readers already having some idea about Griffin from Maggie's entry. This short solo focus on him gives some further insight into his character.


Considering Maggie and Griffin would probably share a Who's Who entry anyway that should be no problem.

    Really, the best story to sum up the kids would likely be found in a chapter of Untold Tales, since HH does such a good job of making sure the necessary information about characters shows up in the narrative.



    Quote:
    Rikka Ulz Hagan and HAGGIE:






    Quote:
    This one story does a pretty good job of illustrating two members of the rogue's gallery. (Hagan of course already got a good showing in her initial appearance, up in Hallie's story choice.)


Good pick.


    Quote:
    Joan Henry:






    Quote:
    One of the few action stories I've penned, this one was entirely a spotlight on bit player Joan Henry. A little bit of origin, a little set-up for the future, and mostly scenes of her in action... which is about the right balance for the character.


I have to refresh myself on Joan a bit if we're going to write that team-up story, so this is very helpful.

    Mary Prankstar:






    Quote:
    As much as I love her therapy sessions with Vizh, this story probably does the best job of showing what the character is about. We even get a little scene of Mary Pfeffercorn there at the end.



    Quote:


Another fine choice.


    Quote:
    To be continued, with choices for Fleabot, Quoth, Miiri and of course Visionary himself. And possibly anyone else I'm either forgetting or people would care to suggest.


I don't know if Kerry would count as your character or HH's; she is a part of the Visionary cast, but also the Juniors cast. Something for the Apostate and Kenny the Gardner would be good too.
