A-Z Characters part 2


     M: Marian

You probably could have guessed that I was going to pick this one. Marian from BBC's Robin Hood. I love her character so much. Robin and Marian were betrothed before he went to the Holy Land. When he came back she didn't want to be hurt again by Robin so she played hard to get. She wasn't mean to him but she just could go up to him after all that time and pretend nothing happened. A big thing happened at the end of the first season.....SPOILERS!! In the second season they were both in love and trying to save England. I should say no more because it would just spoil it for everyone. I think she was a great fighter and had a heart for the people. 
Lucy Griffiths as Maid Marian BBC's Robin Hood
N: Nim
From Nim's Island comes the lovable Nim. The spirited girl who has her own island. How cool is that!! I must say I like the 2nd movie better then the first. The first one showed how much she loved her dad. The second one was more about poachers coming to the island. I think Abigail Breslin did a good job, but I think the crocodile hunter's daughter did better. She also meets this boy Patrick in the first one and he comes back in the 2nd movie to see her. I like how they just kept it just friends nothing more. The other thing I like about this character is that she talks to animals like they are people and she can understand them. I guess that happens when you have your own island and that is all you can talk too. :-)
 
  
 
O:Opal Buloni 
 Because of Winn-Dixie comes this cute little girl Opal. Opal moved with her father to a small town in Florida. Her father is a preacher ( her mother left them when she was young)  and when he finally gets a job, they move to the town. She is really lonely and having a hard time making friends. She finds this dog in the store, making a mess in the store,  and decides to take him home. This starts so many funny things to happen. I like her character because it shows how a little girl loves her dog and that she is willing to do anything for him.
 
 
 
P: Penelope Wilhern
The movie Penelope and character is very interesting. Penelope was born with a curse she would have a pig face. I know drastic! She never could go outside our see anyone because her parents wanted to protect her. Her mother finally hires a matchmaker and they start bring boys in from noble birth. Penelope get so upset with them sometimes that she finally comes out from behind her window/ mirror and shows them her face. They of course go away screaming. :-) A reporter remembering a strange looking child goes to find out what this is about. He hires a boy to go on the inside and take a picture of her. Penelope starts to fall in love with this boy. I shouldn't say much more.....to many SPOILERS!!! I like her character because it takes this sheltered girl to become this independent girl that want to start her own life.
 
 
many people are beautiful but only few have true inner beauty.we can cover up the imperfections on the outside but the ones inside which we cant hind are what make us who we are.
 
Q: Quinn, Michaela
Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman is a show that my family will always love. Michaela Quinn is one of the first woman doctors and she worked with her father up until he died. She then moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado because they needed a doctor. When she gets there everyone thought it was a joke, no one would believe a woman could be a doctor. So finally they look back to the telegram she sent back when she decided to take the job. The telegram was missing the a on the end of Michaela. as times goes on the towns people trust her and she becomes there doctor.  She inherits a family...won't tell you how. :-) She has to raise the children as her own. She meets this man that lives with the Indians. He becomes her friend and teaches her about nature ( like plants that could be medicine)  that he learned from the Indians. It is a great show! You should definitely watch it! Fun fact about this show is that my parents used to watch this show and my Dad liked the name Michaela so much that he named my sister Michaela. So yes my sister was named after a tv show...interesting right??!! I like this character because she never gave up trying to help people, even though they resisted her at first, she eventually won their hearts.
 
  
 
R: Red Riding Hood/ Ruby
From the show Once Upon A Time comes this very independent girl. In the real world she lives with her grandma and helps her run the family restaurant. She is trying to make a start for herself but every time she goes back to her grandma. In the fairy tale world she is hunted down by everyone. I wonder why???? :-) She then helps snow white in the forest. They become best friends while they try to keep a low profile on themselves. She is really sweet and very smart.
 
Meghan Ory as Ruby Lucas/Red Riding Hood - Once Upon a Time
 
S: Sally Sparrow
Sally Sparrow gets in so much danger until the doctor helps her. From another Doctor who episode comes this character. She is a photographer and likes to go to old buildings and to take pictures there. She finds strange messages on the wall from someone called the doctor. She goes to her friend's house for advice only to find her friend's brother and they meet for the first time. Her friend finally comes down to meet her and talk with her about what she saw. She goes back to the house with her friend. They start exploring the house and while exploring the door bell rings. Sally goes to answer the door to find a man handing over a letter addressed to her. He claims that he is her friend's grandson. Thinking they are playing a joke on her she goes upstairs to find her friend only to fine she has vanished.  You have to watch the episode Blink to find out what happens. :-) She is a great character and she has a goal of doing something for the Doctor. She also has a hard time with emotions in this episode. I feel bad for her. She had so many hardships. This is rated the best doctor Who episode ever.
 
Sally Sparrow (I enjoyed seeing Carey Mulligan on Doctor Who, and her character and story were great! :D ) 
 
T: Thermopolis, Mia
From Princess Diaries comes the Princess of Genovia. Mia was just a normal girl, she lived with her mother and her pet cat. Her father I think is divorced and died a little later. She is a awkward girl of 16 when she unexpectedly got a visit with her grandmother. She finds out she is a princess and get the choice of having the throne....if she wants it or not. In the meantime she gets the car of her dreams, her date with her crush, and attend princess lessons. This girl was pretty hopeless at the beginning of lessons, but by the end she turns out to look like a lovely princess. I like how her character shows that even the most awkward and clumsy girl can turn into a princess.
 
Mia Thermopolis by Anne Hathaway in The Princess Diaries, 2001 
U: Ursula Blake
I am using this character just because I can't find anyone else not that I don't like her character, but I wish I could do someone else. From rated the worst Doctor Who episode ever comes this quiet girl Ursula. Ursula is in this club that is looking for the doctor. After looking for him for a long time they decided to do more fun things then looking for the doctor. Then this man comes and changes everything for the club and they really start hunting down the doctor. This episode is really weird because it was written by a kid. Which I think is really neat, but maybe they should have picked another one. Ursula finds the boy she loves...and ends up with him in a really strange way at the end. This is a must see for a good laugh.  
 
 V: Violet Baudelaire
From the Series of Unfortunate Events comes the eldest child of the Baudelaire orphans. From the last sentence you know they are orphans. Their parents died in a fire when the children were at the beach. They then go to a crazy uncle they have never met. All the uncle cares about is the money he will get when he becomes guardian. He tries then to kill them in many ways, or kill anyone who get in his way of getting the money. I think is a great family movie. I know your thinking that she just said that there is this crazy uncle killing people. It is done in a humorous way that the movie was made for kids. I love the character violet just because when I was little I wanted so much to be like her. Violet was a inventor and thought of brilliant ideas for everything. This movie is a must see and the books are amazing.
 
  
 
W:Winifred (Winnie) Foster
From the movie Tuck Everlasting comes Winnie Foster. Living a sheltered life she just wants to play with other kids and just go when she wants to. Her mother has a very different idea for her life. Her mother wants her to become a lady and go to a boarding school. Hearing that she is going to be sent away she runs away into her family woods and soon gets lost. While exploring she finds this boy drinking from a spring. She asks him why he is in her woods and after they get to talking she wants some of the water. He won't let her near it and she runs away from him scared. The boy's brother finds her and kidnapped her and took her to his family's home. She finds out the mystery about them and wants to stay.....but will she? You will have to watch the movie to find out. :-) Her character is a good one. The only thing she wants is freedom and to be her own person.
 
Anna
 
Sorry guys I can't think of any more characters with X,Y,and Z. I was wracking my brain about it for a long time and I just decided to bring this to a close. It was fun though. :-)

A-Z characters :-) Part 1

I decided that I should show you what I like in a way of going from A-Z  and telling female character descriptions. These are from movies and maybe some books too. I hope you enjoy!

 A: Amelia Pond-Williams
  From the show Doctor Who who could forget Amy ( Amelia). She was my favorite companion so far in the show. She had great story lines in each episode of Doctor Who. Her husband traveled in time with her which I though was totally amazing. So it was the Doctor, Rory, and Amy all together in the TARDIS. She was the girl who waited. I was so sad when she died in the show I cried like a baby!! Oh well, there will always be good memories with Amy. :-)

                               False
 
B: Bethany Hamilton
I have loved Bethany Hamilton since I watched the movie Soul Surfer. She is a inspiration for everyone. She kept telling herself after the shark attack that she was going to get back in that water. I couldn't imagine if it was me that I would ever swim in the ocean again. She has a strong faith in God and she knew she could do all things through Christ...and she did. :-) It is amazing how she can still surf with one arm!
 
 
 
C: Clara Oswin Oswald
Clara the new Doctor Who companion. I like this companion. She is a funny nanny. She has great adventures with the Doctor. There is a confusing twist on her character she dies in different times and yet there she is. She is the impossible girl. The souffle girl. :-) Her famous line is "Run you clever boy and remember...me"
 
 
 False 
D: Dolly Levi
I for one loved the musical Hello Dolly. It was a really cute and funny movie. I think that love at first sight can be over rated in this movie. 2 guys fall in love with 2 girls and they fall in love after a day. The story of Dolly Levi I think is really cute though. She tries to find a wife for Horace Vandergelder. While trying to find him a wife Dolly falls in love with Horace. My favorite song in this movie is "Hello Dolly".
 
 
 
 
E:Eponine
From the movie Les Miserables. This girl was in love with a boy who she grew up with. The boy was in love with a girl he only saw once. Here it comes....love at first sight. Eponine was a loyal and brave friend. She was on her own loving the boy...until death.
 
F: Felicity King
Road to Avonlea had this spirited and smart girl in this show. She is the oldest in the King family and tries to put her brother and sister into place. My favorite episode is "The Proof of the Pudding". Felicity was such a mother hen and wanting everything perfect! She reminded me of myself at some of the things she says. :-) That episode I think is the funniest in the whole show. She starts out as this snob and by the end of the show she turns into this graceful and lovely lady
 
 
  
 
 G: Giselle
This is the pretty princess from Enchanted. That is a really cute movie! It takes this girl from the kingdom of Andalasia to New York. She was just about to marry her prince when the wicked queen pushed her into a portal to New York. She is such a innocent princess it is really funny how naive she is. She is trying to find her prince when she falls in love with her real prince. :-)
 
  
 
 
H: Harriet Smith
Harriet is the friend of Emma Woodhouse from the mini series Emma. Harriet definitely wants to just please people. I feel bad for her in a way she could have had here happiness so much sooner if it wasn't for Emma. She had so much heart ache with other men til she finally realizes that the one she loves is right in front of her.  I am glad at the end when she finally makes her own decision on what to do about her love life.  :-)
 
 
 
I: Isabella Gisborne
 
Isabella is Guy of Gisborne's younger sister from Robin Hood. When she was younger her family lost everything and Guy had to sell her to be a squire's wife. She never knew that Guy sold her until later.  She finally escaped his cruelty and found her brother and hoping he would take her in. He did, but later she found out what he did all those years ago and wants to take revenge. She sides with Robin Hood. She falls in love with him and he with her. He later realizes the risk in taking her in his gang and decides not to help her. She then wants to take revenge on both men. I never really liked her character I thought she would never bring any good if she joined Robin Hood.  She plays a main part in the last episode!!! I shouldn't say anymore SPOILERS!! :-)
 
 
 
 
J: Jane Bennet
 
From Pride and Prejudice comes the oldest Bennet daughter. She is quiet and shy. I used to be so much like her....now I have to say I have a little Lizzie in me. Jane was the sensible one in the family. She was the girl who didn't have to flounce herself on the boys to make them like her. She was the one who kept herself pure and guarded her heart. I would like to strive to be more like her in the future.  She finally found the boy who she loved at the end of the movie. :-)
 
 
K: Kate 
 
Kate from Robin Hood is the girl who loved her family. She became an outlaw when she joined Robin Hood's men. Everyone thought that she had feelings for another guy in the gang, but of course she falls in love with Robin Hood himself. I don't like Kate at all she seemed way to forward. That is definitely NOT the ways girls should act. I also couldn't believe Robin could get over Marian so fast. Kate always seemed to have need of all attention. In the 3rd season of Robin Hood, after a tragic event in the last season, Robin acts like a jerk. I didn't really like the 3rd season for that reason. Not that you shouldn't watch it, you should and just be prepared!
 
 
 
L: Leia
 
Princess Leia from the classic Star Wars. She was separated from birth from her twin brother. She met him later when she was older, but didn't know of there relation til the last movie of Star Wars. She falls in love with Han Solo. She refuses to admit it at first but of course it comes out in in the 5th movie. She is a fighter though. She gets kidnapped and her brother and Han went to help her. She had to actually help them in the end by killing the bad guy. She has a good story line. I encourage to watch the movies. In some ways she reminds me of one of my sisters.

Pictures at the Park

My sister and I took some pictures at the park. It was a lot of fun, but I just hate having my picture taken all that much. I think it is fun though to do different poses though. :-) It was really raining when we started to drive to the park. By the time we got there it started to sprinkle.:-) The pictures turned out really nice. It was so nice outside too.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
That's all for today folks!!

Anne of Green Gables

Hi girls! Ok you know how much I love Anne of green gables  I decided to do a post about it. I love the 1st and 2nd one. I didn't really like the 3rd. My favorite part will always be when Gil called Anne "Carrots". She quickly hit him over the head with a slate.

What I Have Been Up To!

I like to crochet when I have time and now that summer is here I am trying to crochet a whole bunch! I made a cupcake scarf which looks a little like this. I will have to take a picture of it soon. It is the same pattern but, mine doesn't look as good as this. I still have to add the little pom poms that looks like sprinkles. :-)

 Another thing I am making is a cloche hat. It wasn't looking right when I started out so I took it all out and started again and now it is looking great. Here is a picture of what it is going to sort of be like.

  I have a pattern that make it look really cool! I can't really describe it....I will just put a picture of it when I am done.
 
 I have also been reading to my little sisters. All of us girls have signed up for the reading club at our library. I am reading Anne of Green Gables to my little sisters. I was just thinking how much fun red heads are. I don't know about you but the movie Anne of Green Gables still makes me laugh.
 
I will have to do a post about Anne of Green Gables next!

Cute Puppy Pictures

Max...my little dog. For those of you who know my dog one word that describes him is lovable. I don't know what we would do without Max. His only weakness is tissues. For some odd reason he loves eating tissues. I can't tell you how many times we have to take a tissue out of his mouth, but later he will come and curl up at your feet. He loves everyone and just wants to be loved in return. I love my little puppy!

 
 
 
The first day we got him. He was so tiny!!

                 I should get some of these.
He's so cute!
