Happy Monday, Gentle Reader. I've a busy week with my Sword & Laser
interview and some associated business that puts me up north and off
the internet most of this week. So, I have assembled for you, a
character study! I know, I know it's been a while. But bellow you will
find a collection of images that remind me of Major Channing Channing of
the Chesterfield Channings.
"Lady Maccon whirled to glare at the man who dared to interrupt her mid rant. The gentleman in question was both tall and broad, although not quite to her husband's scale. Lord Maccon was Scottish-big; this gentleman was only English-big – there was a distinct difference. Also, unlike the earl, who periodically bumped into things as though his form were larger than his perception of it, this man seemed entirely comfortable with his size. He wore full officer formals and knew he looked good in them. His boots were spit-shined, his blond hair coiffed high, and he boasted an accent that very carefully was no accent at all. Alexia knew the type: education, money, and blue blood."
~ Changeless
Major Channing enters our collective lives in book two, Changeless. He is introduced in a rather spectacularly negative fashion but by the end of Blameless has his roll as reluctant hero. Channing is one of those character who spawned from his own name, the moment I had it I knew what kind of person he was. At least outwardly.
"No wonder he was so very full of himself. One would have to be, laboring all one's life under a name like that."
~ Changeless
Of course, he is far more than the arrogant blue blooded officer that Alexia dislikes instantly. Alexia, however, being Alexia, never quite manages to get over that. Fortunately for us, Prudence is not so willfully obtuse. But you will have to wait to find out more about Channing . . .
Here are Major Channing Channing of the Chesterfield Channings' stats:
1. Long blond hair
2. Sculptor converted to werewolf during Napoleonic war
3. Toff accent
4. Pale blue eyes
5. Tall, handsome, lanky
6. Skilled swordsman
7. Respected by his soldiers and fellow officers
Here are a collection of images that remind me of Channing. Sometimes literally, sometimes they tie to his hidden personality, the mysteries of his past, and some of the reasons for his abrasive personality.

Quote of the Day:
"A parasol boasts more virtues than the eminently practical one of shading the eyes from the impertinent rays of the sun. It gives an air of smartness to the summer girl."
