Save the Earth requires all characters, no matter how fantastical, to be reincarnated as normal people and animals. But "normal" encompasses a lot of options.

What if you had chosen a different reincarnation for your characters? Did you have other ideas? What if they were closer to their preincarnation selves - or farther away? If they were in high school, or the prime of their lives, or animals, or human?

Give a short (~1 sentence) recap of who the preincarnation is, then who their reincarnation is and why you picked that, and then lay out some alternative options. Would they have had the same Echoes? Reacted to them differently? How would they handle events? Comment on these or play things out, if you like!

Tauriel in canon is a captain of the Elven guard for Mirkwood and she is an able fighter capable of fighting at both ranged and and to hand combat, but socially she is a bit awkward.


As a human, the options for her were vast and varied, especially with taking a fantasy character and sticking them in a modern setting. One of the choices I made for her was that she wan away at the age of 15, but was later reunited with her family 2 weeks later.

I toyed with the idea of her becoming a vagabond hitchhiker who traveled across country to eventually end up in Locke where her aunt and uncle were, but decided not to go that route because it would have ultimately created a very different character to what I was aiming for. She would have probably ended up a lot more bitter and jaded and a lot less impulsive or fun loving.

Whover she ended up being, a talking pigeon would've tried to make friends. And then want to play with her ears once they became pointed.

She would have liked a talking pigeon for a friend. Would have made her feel even more elven

It is well known that elves like doves.

Probably because of Tolkien being christian and into purity

It's fun applying real dove traits to symbolic ones! ...They're violent, passionate, devoted but also really horny birds.

really though, they'd be cute friends.
