Tribute Name: Ropa Moyo

Age: 14-15 (throughout series)

Media: Edinburgh Nights series

Restrictions: No magic and no communication with the dead

Propaganda: "She's a scrappy teen drop out. she already lives in a dystopian society so that's not anything new for her to adjust to. She's had to fight for everything she, her grandmother, and her sister have had for the last few years. Got them from a gang encampment (where she helped with the thieving) to a tiny trailer on some farm land (going legit as well). She might be more accustomed to an urban environment, but given the resources in the training facility; she is a quick learner and can pick up nature tips there. She also operates in a world older than her so she has seen some things. Ropa has gone after many much more powerful foes in the series so a big 18 year old boy with throwing knives or broad sword wouldn't be absurd for her. She would have a difficult time with gaining sponsors because she is very rough around the edges but she can turn on the charm at times to get what she needs from the Capitol. tldr: she's basically very Katniss coded, but with dystopian Edinburgh and not dystopian rural West Virginia. and a elderly grandmother not clinically depressed mother."

Priya's fiddling with her wheelchair, popping it open again. She places it on the ground, perpendicular to the cart. 'Hold it steady,' she says, and I place my hand on the chair. She reaches out with her right hand, places it on my shoulder, and using the left, lifts herself off the cart, then swings over, plonking herself in the chair with a wee grunt. She removes the brake on it and rides over my foot. 'Feel free to break my toes anytime,' I say. 'Sorry, biped,' she replies.

While fantasy authors often cite such iconic fantasy stories as "Lord Of The Rings" and "Harry Potter" as influences, in my new interview with author T.L. Huchu about his urban fantasy novel "The Legacy Of Arniston House," the fourth book in his "Edinburgh Nights" series, he also cites a video game-inspired TV show of the bloody battle persuasion. https://paulsemel.com/exclusive-interview-the-legacy-of-arniston-house-author-t-l-huchu/ 📖🪄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

'I'm not messing with any of this, lassie. You asked me to drive you about like a taxi and I've done that. But you can't ask any more of me. I have a donkey and a cat to think about.' Mrs Guthrie takes a glug of cider and wipes her mouth with the back of her hand.

And in case you were wondering, yes, I have seen Nessie, and, no, I didn't photograph her. It was none of my business.
