Reference: Character Foreshadowing

Serack:

--- Quote from: Snark Knight on November 01, 2016, 12:08:13 AM ---For what it's worth, his landlady made some sort of 'there you are' comment when he saved her from the house fire in Changes.

Potential "There you are" foreshadowings are raidem's baby.  That's actually why I chose that portion of the quote to call it out with.

--- Quote from: Serack on October 31, 2016, 05:33:39 PM ---I've heard Jim say that he deliberately seeds his books with little lines relevant to potential paths his characters could take down the road.  (Potential, because sometimes they have more than one potential path).  I thought I'd start a Reference Topic dedicated to this subject, grouped by character.  I don't have a copy of the books that I can copy/paste from so if anyone else can help provide excerpts for this stuff I'd appreciate it.

Butters
Line from Ghost Story where Butters pledged to train with the Edinjar (msp?) immediately after getting a fully functional light saber

Carlos
Per WoJ, he's the apprentice that was noticed by Harry in Summer Knight at the Council meeting

Fae Kings:
Line in Storm Front about Santa existing, and also about how nuts you'd have to be to try to trap him in a circle (a foreshadowing of capturing the Erlking in DB, as well as the eventual appearance of Santa in the series.)

Lea
Storm Front, Harry mentions he has a genuine Farie Godmother.

Molly
Lea attempts to bargain for Michael's first born in Grave Peril, hinting at her significance to the Fae Courts.
Thomas
Line from Chauncy about Harry having surviving family.
Line from Nic about Harry being Maggies youngest.



Minor Characters & Theories
Lacuna's nature
Fitz theory

--- End quote ---

Harry: "I am only mortal."
Mab: "For now."

and

My name is Harry blackstone copperfield Dresden. Conjure by it at your own risk.

Well, I think this should be included.

Phaeton Seraph:

--- Quote from: Griffyn612 on October 31, 2016, 09:37:18 PM ---That's a bit unfair.  Nicodemus is said to be a super swordsman that only two Knights had survived.  Murphy defeated him.  Unless you think their fight outside the Carpenter house was staged on the off chance she might misuse the Sword.

I would have said: 
That, sir, is a facile argument... And also woefully esoteric.

--- End quote ---
I treat words like bullets.  If I have my target in sight, I use them sparingly.  If I use a lot, it often means I'm shooting from the hip in the dark through a screen on a rocking boat at sea during a storm trying to hit a silhouette weaving drunkenly to ad fro on the distant horizon. 

Or in this case, not entirely sold on the defense I've undertaken.   ;)

Ananda:
The thing about Lea is not foreshadowing. It is like mentioning he has pink slippers and then, later, you see his pink slippers. He is just telling you he has them.
