[QUOTE="TwoSix, post: 8087342, member: 205"] It makes sense because there's no such thing as a single version of any character, especially a well-known character. There are a million different versions, each built by the distinct relationship between the reader (or other media consumer) and the consumer. If you build your own version of Drizz't, you're going to emphasize the shards and facets of the character that were most relevant and personal to your own reading. Heck, this is true in real life. Everyone who knows me would model a different version of me, because they see different aspects of me. Even my own model of myself would necessarily be incomplete, because I can't see myself from the outside. Only the aggregate of every person's perception comes the closest to actually being "true", likewise, the only Drizz't model that is "correct" is the aggregate of everyone's perception of him.
