Annedin

[jon_chaisson]

Meet Annedin, my new writing mascot!




Annedin, in my Mihari trilogy, is a kiralla (the dragon aspect of the Mihari spirit), who represents chaos in the world of balance. While the two main characters, Denysia (stasis) and D'kami (anarchy) battle it out to see who claims rule over the Earth, Annedin--their spiritual offspring--is there to ensure that neither win. Which is a mixed blessing, mind you.

I bought her in the Dealers' Room at Worldcon, at the Honeck Sculpture table. They have extremely cool bronze sculptures. I highly suggest you check them out.

More soon...


PS--As pointed out by lynxreign, no, Annedin is not a name stolen from Anakin Skywalker. I came up with that name well before The Phantom Menace, and not being a particularly huge SW fan, I didn't think twice about it.

How do you tell, with dragons? Wing size? Check under the tail??
And who is brave enough to do so?

With kiralla, it's a matter of reading the spirit signatures. Don't ask me how, it's a rather weird and convoluted idea I came up with involving psychic reading and synesthesia... :)

As for dragons themselves? Umm....good question....

i LOVE her! she's so adorable ^^ i'm glad you didn't show her to me there 'cause i woulda stolen her ^_^

and do you mean "Mihari" as in the Japanese word "protect/protector/etc"?

[joncwriter.livejournal.com]

Why yes! :) That's exactly where I got it from. The Mihari are sort of "spiritual protectors" of Earth in my trilogy. Gotta love those pocket Japanese/English dictionaries...

Annedin's only about two inches tall but she fits perfectly between my computer speakers.
