Characters Come to Life
Since I'm a bit bored at the moment, I'm going to post photos of the people that are the closest fit in my mind to what the characters in Foreseen look like. Of course you'll need to use your imagination a bit, since some of their eye color/hair color, etc aren't exact. I did this a while ago to use for the character profiles. I only have the more major characters and found it hard to find pictures of people that might fit the bill. So if you have your own suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them!

First off, we will start with Kari Elade. To me, this picture of Mandy Moore has always portrayed rather nicely Kari's innocence and beauty. After I found this photo, I knew this was the one. Only her eye color is off, otherwise she embodies everything Kari is.









Next is Ryker Thayt. For some reason, he has been the hardest one to pin down. I've gone through a few different candidates, but the current choice is Henry Cavill. Trying to find a man that can be a decent build, ruggedly handsome, and yet seemingly capable of having a sensitive side is a bit difficult.












Kari's mother, Sian Elade, was not in the story for very long, but I figured it would be nice to see the woman behind Kari's existence. so, I chose Robin Wright. It was a tough decision, but I'm happy with my choice.











Next is of course Kari's father, Cael Elade. For him, I chose Gerard Butler. He's a good looking fellow he seems like he might be able to be a loving father and everything Cael becomes.













Medwin Vennor, a wizard and important part of their ventures is next. I thought Ben Kinsley, with a some facial hair and a nice flowing wig, would play the part well. Even without some of the identifying physical features, I think it isn't too hard to imagine.












Of course, we can't forget the antagonists of the story. So here is Chris Pine, as the wicked and broken Manning Thynnor. With a few purple specks in his eyes, I think he could look like a villain.













Then there is his father, Edan Thynnor. Marton Csokas is who I chose to portray him. He can have a menacing quality to him.















And there is Sylvain, played by a lovely red winged blackbird! This way his bright colors clash just the right way with his silky black feathers!















As we move onto the royal family, King Owen Ethyron is first. Brendan Gleeson seems like he would make a nice jolly King! What do you think?















Next up is Queen Riona Ethyron. Edie Falco seems like she would make a nice regal, but caring mother and Queen.
















Prince Damon Ethyron was a bit hard to choose. Eventually, I decided on Taylor Kitsch.











The last of the royal family is Princess Tiana Ethyron. I chose Sophia Myles for this role.


















Lastly, I have Mina. She was hard to find, but ultimately, I chose Kristanna Loken. She has the red hair, a bit of fire in her eyes, and seems like she could kick some butt.










Sadly, I did not choose a Brant, since I did these before he was a bigger part of the story. But if anyone wants to suggest someone for him or any of the others, I would be happy to hear it!
