Your ideas remind me of a quote... "You can't make up anything anymore. The world itself is a satire. All you're doing is recording it."(Art Buchwald)
Hmm.

In that sense Crest, it's true that raids like this do still happen, though not in European villages.

On a side not, I wish I could draw, so I could draw the raiders I was picturing in my head. XD I phail at drawing anything other than cheesy anime. T.T XD

Maybe she has faerie genes that until this point in time lay dormant in her family. O.o That would be kinda cool. Some tragedy or life and death situation forces her to use power she didn't know she had.
I'm too much of a biology geek for an excuse like that. Sorry. I'd be haunted with the fact genetics and the law of probability doesn't work that way. At least if she was Tabea's age. I've done the punnet squares. :P

But if she was already decades old then there would be a more likely possibility. Which satisfies my inner geek. She could have been exiled and the town doesn't remember it anymore... But I have a feeling I know where she ends up. -shifty- But I can't tell you my uber plot twist.

It only looks like a German village, homage to the Bros. Grimm more than anything. But its more like an alternate world.

I think that Adelaide is a human name HellionStorm. I am sorry, I just can't seem to draw any kind of magic-like feelings from it. I like the idea about the mixed blood and hidden genes. The only problem with that is that that has already been done so many times that me, as a crazy fantasy book reader, would see it coming and not want to read anymore. I hate it when I can tell where the story is going to end up. I love plot twists, they are great, but only if the reader doesn't see it coming from miles away.

Linden, it took me a couple of times to reread and understand what you had meant by "No Link and Navi parings please; my mind boggles at the mechanics of it.ANYWAY, -shoves perverted thoughts away-"

BUT
I got it now..... HA.....nice......

I give you one get out of jail free card.... because I know the sudden urge to say something like that...


so now...... start writing...faster...FASTER....GOOOOOOO........

The whole exile idea reminds me of another character I role played as once upon a time. Her village was burned to the ground by raiders and she escaped with a traveling gypsy band. Her love life was so tragic, I loved it. ^_^ The essence of melancholy.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure I'll be able to write this weekend. I'm so swamped with homework for my four day weekend. I'm trying to kick it all out of the way now. -_- We'll see.

Take your time Linden.

Oh, and g.a., mad fantasy reader here too. I have read something similar a few times, so I guess that's where I got it from. XD Original ideas are hard to some up with nowadays though. So much has been done already. That's not to say there aren't original ideas left, just that you have to be really creative to think of them.

Anywho...good luck with the story and your homework Linden.

Grandmamma is cute but I think it would be better for he character to actually have a name.

I was thinking Hannelore. It was the most normal-but-not kind of name I could think of. But I think I want to shorten it to Hannel. Though everything is still up in the air in regards to her name, she might not be called anything but Gran and Grandmamma for the rest of the story. heh.

I looked at all those goddamn pictures and don't get to vote!?!

anyways, sounds like a fun story.
And before I forget, have you read the Holly Black books "Tithe" "Valliant" and "Ironside"? because I consider them one of hte greatest faerie tales ever written.
