[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 9786096, member: 54629"] The main issue with Goldmoon is the Native American outfit that Elmore always gave her in his art. Weis and Hickman just described her as a fur-clad barbarian with silver-gold hair that was unusual for the "usually dark-haired and dark-skinned" Plainsfolk. [I]At face value[/I], there's nothing there that says the Plainsfolk have to be Native American stand-ins. The lesser issue is her silver-gold hair being called out as being different to her people's usual dark hair. This sets up blond hair as special. If you can find a way to make Goldmoon look more angelic [I]without [/I]making it so "angelic = stereotypical Aryan ideal", then go for it! Peter Jackson's LotR and Hobbit films - not to mention [I]D&D: Honor Among Thieves[/I] - show that you don't need CGI or child actors to portray halflings and dwarves. There are plenty of camera / perspective tricks you can use instead. [/QUOTE]
