When we've settled on a Bothari I'm going to need an Elena who resembles him without being oogly.

Fitchner's got a kind of sleepy-eye thing going on in a lot of those icons, but it's possible that I could scrape up a full set of Proper Bothari Faces. He's definitely a candidate! Thanks!

Yay! =)
Claire Foy looks a lot like the Elena on some of the covers, except her eye color (described as dark): http://gimcrack.insanejournal.com/79661.html
Morena Baccarin also looks kind of like her: (short hair): http://gothamed.insanejournal.com/10298.html http://asylums.insanejournal.com/terrychu/3824.html (med. hair): http://dreacons.insanejournal.com/3064.html

She is introduced with this description
For the thousandth time Miles wondered how such an ugly man could have produced such a beautiful daughter. Every one of his features was echoed in her face, but richly transmuted. At eighteen she was tall, like her father, fully six feet to his six-and-a- half; but while he was whipcord lean and tense, she was slim and vibrant. His nose a beak, hers an elegant aquiline profile; hi s face too narrow, hers with the air of so me perfectly bred aristocratic sight-hound, a borzoi or a greyhound. Perhaps it was the eyes that made the difference; hers were dark and lustrous, alert, but without his constantly shifting, unsmiling watchfulness. Or t he hair; his greying, clipped in his habitual military burr, hers long, dark, straight-shining. A gargoyle and a saint, by the same sculptor, facing each other across some ancient cathedral portal.
and I think once she starts working more with the Dendarii more, she gets a haircut?

I am pretty sure that when it comes to facecasting, the answer is, 'Yes.'

Christopher Sean has a reeeally attractive face (http://asylums.insanejournal.com/discol ... tml#cutid1).
