Well, we've done it for Cadvan, why not Maerad.... Here it is the "Who do you think resembles Maerad" poll. I made it resembles b/c i think some ppl have an issuse with movies being made out of the books :D. In either case, take it as who you'd like to see act her. **Plz be polite ppl, some of these debates are getting quite heated***

Also, in your posts don't forget to say who you voted for and why, if you choose 'Fan Art' says who's and post a link if you can.

Plus, to be extra nice, you can choose more than one option.

Well, I feel naughty for doing this but I voted for five of the options- Elaine Cassidy, Eva Green, Rose Byrne, Alexis Bledel and a complete unknown. Talk about contradictionary!
My reason for doing so is because I think all of the actresses have features that resemble Maerad, although I wouldn't say any of them is the spitting image of how I imagine her. For example I think Alexis Bledels' eyes are very Maerad, and her skin has that luminoscity. I like Eva Green because she looks relatively young, and at the same time has that real feyness of spirit that we can associate with Maerad. The same can be said for Elaine Cassidy, with her unconventional yet Maerad-ish looks. I also like the innocence of Rose Byrne's face, and think that she has given some very strong acting performances in some productions.
At the same time, I feel perhaps that none would be appropriate. They can't be considered old (I believe they're all about 25 or under), yet we need to remember that Maerad is only 16. To be honest, most 16 year olds visibly do not look as old as these actresses. In which case, perhaps a young unknown would be a better option... :rolleyes:

If Rose Byrne were younger she would be my vote ... but as it stands, Amber Tamblyn is.

[Siobhan]

I still reckon Rachel McAdams but seeing as no one else does, I put down Rose Byrne as well cos she comes pretty close to LOOKING like Maerad, so it doesn't matter that either of them are too old

[Becks]

I voted for Amber........coz she looks like the Maerad in my mind, and I voted for Elaine as a kinda backup sort of thing.........

[owleye]

ive voted for no one yet

[Kristin]

Has anyone noticed that those percentages don't equal 100?

[Becks]

U huh, tjey will only equal 100% if everyone who voted votes for one thing I think.........

[Mrs. Cadvan]

Nah, it's cos Gemini made the poll so that u can vote for more than one person.

[owleye]

thats a tad stupid
