Ah, comic books.
For those paying attention to them for the last year or so, DC Comics recently introduced the concept in the Green Lanterns mythos of the colored spectrums… Various rings, each one a color of the spectrum, and each one representing an aspect of the Emotional Spectrum. Basically, it broke down like this:
Red = Rage Orange = Avarice Yellow = Fear Green = Will Blue = Hope Indigo = Compassion Violet = Love Black = Death White = Life
Seriously, if you wish to know more, a five second search on Wikipedia will answer almost all of your questions. Well, I thought it'd be kinda fun to draw each of the rings and the characters most likely to receive them. Some of you might have seen this on my DeviantArt account already, and some of you might not have. I had started the first one, but I wanted to wait until Moira was more properly introduced before continuing.
You might have noticed that this blog update is in the art forum. Well, I figured that since this is an art deal, it belongs there. So here’s what’s going to happen. Once a week, until all nine rings are filled out, I’m going to update this thread with a new ring, starting with the Red Lantern Lindsey.
Any guesses on which cast members will get which ring? (Big clue will be they’re all female.) First person who correctly guesses all nine… I'll mail them a free sketch of any character they want.
Just for and fun to feed our inner fanboys, and I hope you like this. Issue #2 cover Friday and Issue #2 on Monday.

Is it bad it only took me a couple seconds to recognize just what was up and then lol? The Destroyer definitely fits with the red ring! As for the rest, there's more then a few places the characters I know of could fit and there's sure to be someone I don't know.
+10 forum points to whoever calls the next one!

Next up should be Orange, which is Avarice. Since Mother Hydra is Going to be Yellow, I'm going to place Chrissy in Orange.
I'm also putting Charon in Green. Not sure I'm ready to guess on the rest yet.
Also, I know why The Destroyer is angry: she's got a latex Camel Toe.

I don't know- I think I'd put Moira in Orange.
Red- Lindsey
Orange- Moira
Yellow- Misty
Green- Chrissy
Blue- Fides
Indigo- Becka
Violet- Charon
Black- The Shadowchild Entity
White- Becka/Charon as Shadowchild (I'm reaching here…)

I would've put Becka as Green since she's the one who actually has control of/in her Shadowform.

Welp, here's my ball tossed into the air – hope it doesn't cause anyone any pane.
Red = Rage = Lin-Lin (naturally) Orange = Avarice = Misty Yellow = Fear = Chrissy Green = Will = Moira Blue = Hope = Fides Indigo = Compassion = Becka Violet = Love = Charon Black = Death = Mother Hydra White = Life = The Shadowchild

Yeah, a list of the 8 women would be helpful.
I've not finished Blackest Night, or the Color Wars cross-over that proceeded it, but I have read parts.
From what I gathered, there is one Orange Lantern, and he kills things and takes their bodies and their powers for his own.
Green as Willpower would disqualify Chrissy, as she lost her battle to Mother Hydra.
I haven't seen much of Indigo, but what I have seen is more Compassion=Mercy Killing.
Violet as Love has been more slavish devotion than romantic or carnal style but of the women I can think of, I do lean heaviest to Charon, but I still like her better for green.

More or less what I'd pick. Unless there's some out of the left field choice we barely know about that is

I'm going to be fair here. All the choices have appeared in Shadowgirls already and have all have major contributions to the story. So no inconsequential scenery bitches or upcoming characters or anything. They've all been significant players in the series. And as a last hint I'm giving… For the sake of this contest, it would be best to consider Misty and Mother Hydra as one and the same. (Even though they're separate entities.)
All the clues are right there. They all make sense and they all fall right into place.

Here's my guess (and if I'm right, I'm gonna faint, I was a little out there with my guessing)
Red/Rage=Lindsey (already revealed) Orange/Avarice=Moira Yellow/Fear=Mother Hydra/Misty Green/Will=Fides Blue/Hope=Becka Indigo/Compassion=Charon Black/Death=Shadowchild White/Life=Chrissy
(Life and Death are seperate concepts from good and evil. You don't have to be evil to weild Death, nor good to create Life)

My feelings about Red Lantern Lin-Lin can best be summarized as "confused".

Contest is gonna go until someone gets them all right, or until we hit "indigo". There's no limit on how many guesses one can make. You wanna run through them all making every single possible combination, you all can. It's just for fun.
As for the reasoning behind Lindsey being the Red Lantern is simple… She's powerless. She does not possess the superhuman abilities some of the others have. She's angry. She runs on adrenaline. Think about almost every single major action she's taken in the series… It's always been guided by anger and frustration. She's got a short temper and never thinks things through.

I STILL call Chrissy for Will- remember, in the series, she had "the will to strike down the Master"… Becka is still compassion, the standard by which humanity should be judged, and Charon is still love. However, I do have some other corrections…
Red = Rage = Lin-Lin Orange = Avarice = Moira Yellow = Fear = Mother Hydra Green = Will = Chrissy Blue = Hope = Fides Indigo = Compassion = Becka Violet = Love = Charon Black = Death = The Shadowchild White = Life = Susan (Becka's great-grandmother)

EDIT – DUR! There be 9 rings colors!
Well the major females in the story so far that I can think of are as follows.
Charon
Becka
Chrissy
Misty
Fides
Moira
Shadowchild
The Destroyer
These two I'm not sure about, but worth listing.
Susan Mckay
Merri
Hmm my official choices will be as follows.
Red = The Destroyer Orange = Moira Yellow = Chrissy Green = Charon Blue = Fides Indigo = Becka Violet = Susan Mckay Black = Misty/Hydra White = Shadowchild

Bah, figures I'd forget love. Edited list, with some shifting around from DRey's hints
Red/Rage=Lindsey (already revealed) Orange/Avarice=Moira (For the shadowed hint that she is the Master) Yellow/Fear=Mother Hydra/Misty (Because Mother Hydra is all about fear and Chaos) Green/Will=Fides (It takes some strong will power to be able to watch-even to coordinate counter strikes against-what the EoD does) Blue/Hope=Becka (She's young, and children, to me, always represent hope, especially in a story such as this)
Indigo/Compassion=The Shadowchild/Nodens (Divine Protector-and it takes a powerful amount of compassion for that)
Violet/Love=Susan McKay (A little iffy on this one, because it's either her or Merri) Black/Death=Charon (going by her name, and the fact that she's killed before)
White/Life=Chrissy (And think about it, Chrissy and Charon are so completely opposite eachother they're practically the two sides of the coin.)
But meh, lol I'm just here for the good story the Daves are telling, and I can't resist playing symbol games, especially color-based ones.

i was just wondering why she wasn't vomiting napalm plasma blood. Yeah, just finished reading the whole sinestro corps war and Blackest Night, and the red lanterns, upon becoming a red lantern, get their blood expelled from their body and replaced with burning napalm like plasma, which they can projectile vomit on opponents. Their hearts also stop, and the red ring takes over the function of the heart, so when the black lanterns try to rip the heart out of one of the red lanterns, it doesn't work the way it works for everyone else.
please remember that in order to be a black lantern, you must be dead, which translates into ZOMBIE. so, that said, i can't think of anyone as THE black lantern (worships death, kills self) but everyone could become a black lantern, provided they die first.

That's not the part I'm confused about. Perhaps "conflicted" would be a better word.
*cough*

I have two theories.
Red = The Destroyer Orange = Moira Yellow = Misty/Hydra Green = Becka Blue = Fides Indigo = Charon Violet = Chrissy Black = Grand Ma Mckay White = Shadowchild
Or . . .
Red = The Destroyer Orange = Chrissy Yellow = Misty/Hydra Green = Becka Blue = Fides Indigo = Charon Violet = Grand Ma Mckay Black = Moira White = Shadowchild
I am next to positive that Fides is hope. (Look Fides up in a dictionary). Misty/MH being yellow fits with the playing on Beckas fear in the story. On a similar note, Becka had the willpower to overcome said fear.
White is the one the well and truly boggles me though. Shadowchild is just left over so goes there lol.
