Siri or Vivenna?
« on: August 04, 2008, 04:23:17 PM »
Ok, I've sifted through the forums and, maybe I'm blind, but I'm also 98.9% positive I didn't see an official answer.
So if anyone has an official answer for me, pleaseee let me know.
 OR you can put your opinion on the poll above, if you want.

THANK YOUUUU

I do not think it is supposed to be one specific woman. It contains pieces of the entire book, its a kind of collage for the two female characters. The environment, pose, and dress suggests Siri but not many swords were present in her story arc while much of Vivenna's arc involved learning to use breath and swords. Both can change their hair.

Wait, so that's not Vasher in drag?
Now you've got all the ones with beards on one side and all the
moustaches on the other.

I asked Moshe at Worldcon, and he says it's Siri. Yes, she's not generally near Nightblood, and yes, Nightblood is supposed to be black. The breath doesn't indicate that she uses breath power, but is just representative of its use in the world.
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

Thanks Ook.  I just started the book and thought that it would be Siri, but I'm glad it was finally like. . . given something official to be sure.
