Mirror Mirror character changes ideas

(1/13) > >>

groinkick:
So what are your idea's on characters being different in the alternate reality?

Susan - She's alive, and full on Red Court, head of the Red Court in Chicago
Michael - He fell at Bianca's party, and offered as a gift to Mavra.  She turns him Black Court as revenge
Marcone - Knight of the Cross
Murphy - She and Marcone are lovers
Harry - Full on necromancer.  He empowers himself with shades.

Phygers:
If you go with how Jim thinks its a good time to torture his readers and Harry: Murphy married to Rudolph happily at that maybe with kids. Maggie as the heir to Susan and Harry's Court in Chicago. Evil Harry let's his inner Bob out and whores himself out to the supernatural women of the city.

If you follow the classics, then Dresden will see three major changes --- all changes that make for a very painful realization for Dresden. 

1) One close ally who is now an enemy

2) One deadly enemy who must be an ally

3) One treasured companion was dead is now alive

4) One friend who is changed for the worse

5) Someone new who he learns a great deal about --- so that he can show off in a later book :)


The ally that is an enemy is almost certainly Michael, but honestly that is probably too simple as a Knight of the Cross would be able to tell that this Dresden is now their Dresden.  I would argue that the ally who is now an enemy is Murphy - which also nicely ties up #3 as well.  And Murphy would be a very dangerous foe for Dresden for many reasons.   You can make the case that a Susan as Red Court vamp would make a good enemy as well, but it feels weaker. 

The enemy who may be an ally.  Again the obvious answer is Marcone, but also again that is too simple.  To really make this hurt, the ally has to be a serious enemy.   That means you are looking at Lashiel or Nickodemus - both would make very painful allies.   Other possibilities (Maeve, Lily, Merlin, Red King -- simply do not have the emotional connection to make this alliance BURN Dresden's soul. 

Treasured companion now alive is obviously Susan or Murphy - and you have already read why I think it would be Murphy. 

Friend changed for the worse is most obviously Molly, except the author has already put Dresden through a lot of heartache related to Molly.  A case can be made that Charity could be the one that turned in a dark direction if the change resulted in Michael's death, especially if Dresden is at fault.     

Somebody new is pure speculation, but I think this would be a great book to tell us a lot about the federal agency focused on the supernatural.  And the payback in later books when Dresden shows off would be golden.

I don't see Marcone becoming a Knight, that idea has always been weird to me.

If anything I guess he'll be part of a Supervillain Alliance with Alt!Harry and some of the other recurring villains of the story that have teamed up to do something about the fact that the less-evil factions are all broken and/or subverted at this point.

TheCuriousFan:
Honestly I expect either Rudolph or Mavra to be the one that Harry has to team up with in Mirror Mirror.
