Shadowgirls

Assuming I made no mistakes in trimming, these are the female Shadowgirls characters from the Mythmakers Melee list:

Rebecca McKay
Charon McKay
Lindsey Jun Yeoh
Christmas Snow
Mother Hydra
Maxine Luisa Marquez
Fides
Moira McKay
Merri

I'm going to rule out Maxine Marquez and Fides as minor characters, and suggest that Charon's grandmother (Susan McKay?), and the independent / unified Shadowchild Entity is one of them.  Can't count Nodens in; don't know if that entity is male or female.

Given this, here's my first crack at it:

Red         Rage              Lindsey Jun Yeoh
Orange    Avarice          Chrissy Snow
Yellow      Fear               Misty Snow
Green      Will                 Becka McKay
Blue         Hope              Shadowchild
Indigo     Compassion    Susan McKay
Violet       Love              Charon McKay
Black       Death             Moira McKay
White      Life                 Merri

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N…..hu_Mythos) :

"Nodens is one of the Elder Gods and appears as an elderly, human male with white hair—gray-bearded and hoary yet still vital and strong. He often rides in a chariot formed from a huge seashell pulled by some great beasts of legend. Nodens is served by the Nightgaunts."

Nodens has breasts and hips, the art style pretty much assures it's a she. Also, Fides is pretty major, but not 'on camera' she has way more story time and character development than Merri, who's in all of 2 pages IIRC. So this gives us:

1. Charon McKay
2. Becca McKay
3. Lindsey Jun Yeoh
4. Christmas Snow
5. Mistletoe Snow / Mother Hydra
6. Nodens
7. Moria McKay
8. Fides
9. Merri (Deep One)

Anyone see any problems with this as our Character list?

Can you cite a picture of Nodens from SG?

And you should still include Susan McKay as a candidate, as well as including the ShadowChild as an independent entity, since she's not one-and-the-same as either Charon or Becka and participated independently in their fight in the other realm.

Book 1
-> chapter 7
->-> Heartache –  Parts 4,5,6,7(finale)
->-> Waking Dream –  Parts 1, 2, 5

I wrote out Susan because she's only 1 page more developed than any of the ISBs. Her only good inclusion reason is that being dead, she qualifies for Black. Based on the intro art for Moria (Sho Nuff July 8, 2009) there's a good chance Moria does too. I'd have written out Moria too if Dave hadn't explicitly included her.

Also, I'm moving for Violet(Love) for Chrissy. She did what she did to Charon for love of Jackson, to the Master for love of Chrissy, to the car for Mrs. Burris' love of her Hubby, etc. Every nasty thing she did she did for love, and it's a twisted love.

Putting mine at:

• Red – Lindsey 
• Orange – ? (Moria?)
• Yellow – Mama Hydra
• Green – ? Charon
• Blue – Fides
• Indigo – ? (Merri?)
• Violet – Chrissy
• Black – Nodens
• White – ? Becca

The entity in I.VII. Heartache 4-7 and I.VII. Waking Dreams 1-2,5 is not Nodens.  It's the Shadow Child entity, the child of Nodens, not Nodens himself.  From I.VII. Heartache 6, first panel:

"I am the instrument of her undoing, crafted by Nodens for this very moment!"

Nodens never appears on camera.  The description given by Lovecraft is decidedly male, and to the best of my knowledge, the Daves have never said they were deviating from Lovecraft on this particular point.

As for Fides being a major character, she may have done something significant off-camera, but we don't get to see enough of her on-camera to get any sense of her personality or motivations.  What we do see is, IIRC, almost pure professional, cold execution of a task.  Unless I'm mixing her up with Maxine Marquez, or forgetting a major scene, either of which is possible, but I don't believe it to be the case.

If you can show otherwise, please cite the page.  And this time, please either give the date it was posted, if you can, or an actual link to the page; they take a lot longer to find otherwise.
