CHARACTERS - DAY THREE: Flemeth
I have a type. I admit it. There are certain wells I can return to repeatedly and always find something new to explore.
One of them is older female characters. Mike used to rib me about it. Consider Wynne. Meredith. Genevieve. And, of course, the biggie: Flemeth.

These are two of my favorite characters it's not a shock to find out how much you love them, and how much Claudia Black and Kate Mulgrew did as well! It really shows in the games
"She knows everything people think of her and has used it as armour.. who is she then?"
Sometimes a little of flattery can add to the mystique of the character, even in rejection. ex: Vivienne.
No words were really needed to explain it. It worked. She had her role, and we as players didn't know what it was... but she rocked it all the same.
I guess I have a feeling that older men fade, they strive to regain their youth or establish a legacy and we've seen that story a thousand times, but older women? They become free to become something new. I guess I see so many possibilities in that.
Like many seeds I'd put in the world, however, I had no idea whether I'd ever get to explore it.
I remember the art team coming and asking if it was OK if she got a new model, as it'd be a retcon of sorts. I didn't care. I wanted it.
Asked me, the dyed-in-the-wool Trekkie who had stuck with Voyager even through the admittedly lean years?
