My name is after a character of my own writing. Her personality is probably exactly opposite my own, but she's a really cool character and I'm rather proud of her, and I loved writing the story. I don't know why I used that name when I joined here. Actually, I take that back, I kind of do. I was intending on using the name Istri from C.S. Lewis' Till We Have Faces, but I stuck in the wrong e-mail address and so couldn't get the password. I'm glad I didn't use Istri, it wouldn't have fit me quite so well, I don't think. (Besides that, everyone would have thought I'd mis-spelled Istari, which I didn't, but still...) So, because I couldn't think of any other name, I used Folwren. I almost considered Nienor, or Morwen, but both of those are very sad characters...very sad characters...
