What Fantasy Archetype Are you?
The Mentor You are the prestigous Mentor! You're akin to Gandalf (Lord of The Rings), Merlin (ARthurian Legend), Obi Wan Kenobi (Star Wars), Aslan (Narnia), Door (Neverwhere), Dumbledore (Harry Potter) and Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander (Wizard's First Rule). You are wise and knowing, and know that there is not much time left for the Unlikely Hero to defeat The Totally Wicked Villain. Only you know the true motives and past of The Villain, so it's up to you to teach the Unlikely Hero all he has to know. Be careful as you'll invariably regret not telling The Unlikely Hero things sooner rather than later. You like teaching and often care very much for others.

Aslan isn't a mentor; Aslan is a goal. I don't think the Narnia books have a big mentor type (and that's part of the point, the children learning to take responsibility through their own trials and experience). Probably most children's books don't have mentors, as part of the Get Rid of the Adults paradigm. (Though there is Dallben in the Prydain books.)

There are some lesser mentor characters in the Narnia books: Caspian's teacher (whose name I forget), Bree in The Horse and His Boy, Puddleglum in The Silver Chair -- unless the latter two are Aragorn/Protector types.

No Surprises Here, Either...

Well I got:

The Unlikely Hero
You are the Unlikely Hero! Others like you are Frodo (Lord of The Rings), Young Aurthur (arthurian Legend), Luke Skywalker (Star Wars), Peter/Susan/Edmund/Lucy (Narnia), Richard Mayhew (Neverwhere), Harry Potter (Harry Potter) and Richard Cypher (Wizard's first Rule). You were happy to just live out your life as a peaceful schoolboy/farmer/wood's guide. But alas, greatness was thrust upon you. Don't let the hordes of The Totally Wicked Villain get you down, you have your Seasoned Veteran Friend to protect you and you almost always end up with the Pillar-of-Strength Love interest. Heed you Mentor well and keep your chin up, hero! You are simple, humble and kind but possess great potential for truly inspirational heroism, bravery and strength in dark times.

Hi,

I have a vague memory that sometime last year you recommended a novel in which there were swashbuckling types and flapper girls. I think you were half-hearted in your recommendation, but said that the novel was fun and a worthwhile read. At least something to that nature has stuck in my mind and is rattling around.

I scrolled back through your LJ but have failed utterly to find what the book in question might be. Thus, I am dejected, assuming that it wasn't your recommendation to begin with, but in the off-chance you ever talked about a book in which there are either swashbucklers and flapper girls, or swahbuckling girls and flapper boys, well I though I'd take a moment and ask:

does this sound at all familiar?
