How do you imagine her as a young girl?
Was she pretty and beautiful? Was she ever good-hearted? Was she in love?
When and why did she choose the "bad side"? Was it a decision in her life or did it just happen?

The comic series addresses this, and I kind of agree with how they did it. They imaged her as a not-so-pretty girl who had a bad streak from the beginning. I could totally see that.
I agree that she was a little b*tch as a girl. I do NOT like:
Spoiler: 08-03-2007 11:20 PMLettiFor my part I can imagine that there were days when she had a lovely heart. *shrug* 08-08-2007 12:57 PMDarkthoughtsThats because you seek to see the good in everyone Letti :wub:
I'm of the opinion that we all start life as neutral beings, neither good nor bad. We learn of the two through our experiences of our formative years and come to make judgements and act according, thereafter, to our own perceptions of right and wrong.
In other words, I'd say Rhea had some bad experiences that shaped her into the bitter person she became - and that unlike those who triumph despite adversity, she lacked the support/care/etc to see the world and the people in it from another perspective. 08-13-2007 10:05 AMLetti(Thanks DT but I only wish it were true.)
Let's feel sorry for her. ;)
To tell you the truth usually I hated her but sometimes I really felt sorry. 01-31-2008 07:56 PMMalficeus 02-01-2008 08:28 AMLadyHitchhikerI picture her a lot like the witch off of The Sword in The Stone..
"I HATE SUNSHINE... I HAAAATE SUNSHINE!!!!" 02-01-2008 08:31 AMalindaI picture her looking a bit like me!! Browahahahaha!:evil: 02-01-2008 08:33 AMLadyHitchhikerI like that idea too :D You can play her in the movie... ;) 02-02-2008 07:36 AMDarkthoughts 02-02-2008 12:51 PMWooferQuote:I also agree. I swear that I went to school with girls who were like I picture her to have been: petty, mean, vindictive, and bitterly resentful of others. I've also worked with the women they grew into. :pullhair: :shoot:
And I really agree with the spoiler;Spoiler:. Cheap! 02-02-2008 02:25 PMATGShe implied she knew her way around a man.
I'd like to think she was a super sexy vixen.

I agree wholeheartedly with Monte & Woofer on these spoiler points. I thought it was quite a cheat. 06-24-2008 09:25 AMrazzi thnk of her as a thinner version of The deadite in the basement from Evil Dead 2 06-24-2008 12:08 PMTiffany 06-26-2008 03:24 AMBrainslingerQuote:Spoiler: 06-29-2008 05:23 AMLadyHitchhiker 07-04-2008 07:56 AMWuducynn 07-04-2008 08:53 AMmia/susannahI always pictured Rhea as being evil from childhood. I think she may have been pretty at one point. But always evil 07-05-2008 01:45 AMLettiI think she started to become evil around the age of 14 or 15 or even later. 07-05-2008 05:20 AMfernanditoIt was much younger than that, according to the first arc of the DT comics. 11-15-2008 07:12 PMzemegauserhttp://www.jillstanek.com/archives/wicked%20witch.jpg
Only a bit older than the picture. 11-15-2008 11:02 PMLetti 11-15-2008 11:27 PMLady_MacbethI sorta picture her as the type of little girl who would pull the heads off kittens just for sh!ts and giggles. Evil to the core. 11-16-2008 07:07 AMWooferHope this link works. IMDB is weird.

Tough call...probably abused by her father, a child done wrong, maybe a plaything for the rich and famous of one of the other cities of Mid-World.
Was she pretty and beautiful?
Yeah, drop dead gorgeous, she could make a dead man come, as the song goes.
Was she ever good-hearted?
She did love her snake, Ermot, so she was capable of one of the saving graces.
Was she in love?
Other than with Ermot, you mean. Hard to imagine, but anything's possible.
When and why did she choose the "bad side"? Was it a decision in her life or did it just happen? Still reading, but I'm hoping to come across the word, "bewildered". Cordelia at one point kinda wakes up, as if in a trance. That old baddy, the Crimson King, I bet. I think she watched too much television, too many Friends re-runs, and she just snapped, went over to the dark side, began enjoying it, really tuning in, and tuning out any sort of predestination in store for her...or maybe not...maybe her destiny was to be the witch of Coos...Frost, by the way, has a great poem called just that, "the witch of Coos"...the bones...something about a finger bone...would make a great one act play for the high school set. 01-06-2009 11:53 PMLetti 01-08-2009 05:06 AMWhitey AppleseedFinished the read and no "bewildered" for Rhea, but there was something about her handling men like those (coffin hunters, I think) before, kinda like Detta...so, yeah, she had her charms even as a blooming witch. 01-09-2009 12:13 AMLettiThat's sure.
I would be interested in her age. Was it mentioned in W&G? How old could she be? 01-09-2009 01:00 AMlead dealerI had pictured her sort of as a silent film star in her later years. After she had gone insane and lost toutch with reality. Vainly attempting to look attractive in her dilusional eyes. A true face of decay and madness, hair dingy grey, spindley and everywhere. Body frail and hunched over. long spindley fingers.......
Yet still wearing her same jewelrey and clothes that she wore in former, happier times........
Could she have loved? Possiably, who knows, maybe that is how she became corrupted with the dark arts?
Sounds like the makeings of another book onto itself.........
"I kill with my heart"
still can not spell, stupid work computer....... 01-10-2009 05:54 AMWhitey AppleseedIn Chapter VII, Taking the Ball, section 11, Rhea's opinion of men is illustrated, the coffin hunters lined up across from her..."They were men, that was all, just more men, and she had been beating such all her life. Oh, they thought they ruled the roost, all right--nobody in Mid-World accused anyone of forgetting the face of his mother--but they were poor things, at bottom, moved to tears by a sad song, utterly undone by the sight of a bare breast, and all the more capable of being manipulated simply because they were so sure they were strong and tough and wise."
Jonas calls her "old mother". Hoot. Women are timeless, aren't they, of no age but their own? I've revised my opinion that she was done wrong as a child. I think she knew how to manipulate people from a young age. 09-21-2009 02:13 PMSte LettoAs a young girl I see her as plain, dowdy, awkward and shy. When puberty came the men did not. She was bookish, and found magic in those books. Magic made her strong. Magic gave her power and self esteem. Thus she pursued magic that could manipulate others. Somewhere along the way she moved from self serving to downright evil. Once there there was no going back. 09-23-2009 12:46 PMLetti 05-26-2010 02:58 PMWooferLook at the little goat cart!
