Dina:
Yep, she is younger than I imagine her too, but I've been thinking I was wrong in imagining her older. I am sure glamout makes fae look always young.

That actually why I think the series (should it ever happen) might want to plan on a re-caste.  Lea was very different pre and post Cure, and I find myself picturing the later, crazier one as younger, whereas the early Lea was a slightly more mature Godmotherly type.  Most of that is Harry's perspective changing her from a childhood nightmare to more or less another damn Fae to have to deal with, but something more of an equal.

I dunno. To me it almost seemed exactly backwards from that. I always pictured the original Lea as super energetic, mood swingy, young, and beautiful. She always seemed to have an agenda, and she didn't always seem to have Harry best interest in mind (Because his Bargain).

Later on though, she seemed more godmotherly to me. After her debt with Harry was finished, she only had his mother's bargain left to protect him. She became very godmotherly, and very helpful. More helpful even than I think the old Lea ever let herself be. (Not including Changes when she was allowed to indulge).

And as time passes, Harry really seems to warm up to her. He hated her for a long time, but he begins to respect her and her advice. When Mab imprisoned Lea Harry got pretty stubbornly defensive about it (She was a b**** but she was MY Godmother). He gets mad about the way she trained Molly, *But* he acknolwdges a lot of her reasons for doing so. (I.E. she hadn't learned she needed to work with more than illusions.)


My ideal Lea would be a young redhead, that could gracefully age into a middle-age redhead by the end of the series. While the fae don't age, they tend to look how they want. As time moves on, she seemed to fit more into the "Godmother with Godsons best interest in mind" category.

Have I or anyone else ever mentioned Felicia Day? I really want to see her as one of the Alphas. Georgia or Marcy, I think. (I'd also suggest Andi, especially since she has the red hair for it, but Harry and even Murphy have brought up her body type soooo maaaany tiiiiimes in all the books and stories, and Felicia doesn't have it. *shrug*)

Come to think of it, Christina Hendricks could play Andi, then. Kinda perfectly. Anyway, here's Felicia Day:

Griffyn612:
The issue with Felicia is age.  If a live action series or movie franchise were to start at the beginning, Felicia would be too old for any of the Alphas, or most other characters for that matter.  I'd like to see her as a Fae, perhaps. 

My current fixation is on Karlie Kloss as Gard, or if not her, someone else.  She's a model, so I'm not sure about her acting ability, if there is any.  But she's got the sharp cheekbones I associate with the Fae in my head, the height to pull of Gard or someone (she's 6'1"), and she's pretty enough that a little make-up and special effects could easily give her an ethereal beauty.
