Princess Elissa and Sawyer Quinn Wed in Rivenia!

Today the Wilhelm Palace Press Office posted five photos of a surprise wedding between Her Royal Highness Princess Elissa and Lunarian native Sawyer Quinn. The two were apparently wed in an intimate ceremony in the small Dover Chapel residing in Glimmerbrook, Rivenia. The photos were released through Simstagram and depict the beautiful bride’s arrival, her and the groom’s first steps out of the chapel as a married couple, a sweet kiss shared by the two before they got into their newlywed vehicle, an intimate photo taken in front of Glimmer Falls (located on an estate owned by the Rivenian Royal Family and the location of the couple’s reception), and an official portrait taken of HRH, Sawyer, and their tiny wedding party of two.

The first person to be a part of their wedding party was Elissa’s new stepdaughter, popular teen actress Eva Quinn, who served as HRH’s maid of honor. The two have reportedly grown close over the four years that HRH and Eva’s father have been dating, which came as a shock to everyone who knew the elusive Rivenian Princess who was notorious for her vehement objection towards having children in her younger days. Both Eva and Elissa, however, have been photographed countless times on outings, seemingly bonding well.

“She [Elissa] adores Sawyer more than anything and thought she’d tolerate his daughter just to be with him at first,” a source close to HRH told us. “But the more time she spent with [Eva], the more she came to enjoy her company. She’s a genuinely kind kid, and Elissa never stood a chance.

They do everything together; she helps Eva with homework, gives her boy advice, supports her career, etc. She started out thinking that maybe she [Eva] was just the little sister she had never had but it blossomed into a more motherly role the older she got. It’s no surprise Elissa included her in the wedding ceremony.”

Sawyer’s best man, however, certainly surprised everyone in attendance apparently. It’s common knowledge that his relationship with his younger twin brother, River, has been rocky for many years now due to the paternity scandal that came from the twins’ ex, Lady Lilah Beauchamp. (Check out the start of their drama here!) It looks like the brothers have put it all behind them now though since River stood at his brother’s side as best man! Reportedly we can thank their younger brother, Prince Matthew, for the make up! The heir to the Dukedom of Andale was apparently fed up with his older brothers’ feud and took matters into his own hands by arranging a trip for the three of them...without Sawyer or River knowing, of course.

“They were incredibly pissed with their brother,” one of River’s close friends told us. “Matthew had them share a room and everything! For the first three days they wouldn’t say a word to each other, their little brother dragging them along to all these silly trust exercises and whatnot. The ice wasn’t broken between them until Riv and Sawyer got completely smashed one night at the bar Matthew had brought them to. They got into a fight outside, fists were flying and they both walked away with black eyes and bloody noses, but they could finally talk things out afterwards. Things are still awkward sometimes, especially between Sawyer and Amina (River’s wife), but they’re okay now.”

Thank the Watcher those two seem to have finally buried the hatchet!

The ceremony went off without a hitch and Princess Elissa and her new husband have been granted titles by her brother, King Grayson. They will now be titled as Their Royal Highnesses the Count and Countess of Dover and plan to move to the Dover estate in Glimmerbrook, leaving San Myshuno and Lunaria behind. Finally, a wedding between a Rivenian and a Lunarian that seems like it’s going to last! We’re glad to see you so happy Sawyer, Elissa, you both deserve it!

Alleliuah-Skye Maccon

The Important Bits

Names: Alleliuah-Skye Maccon.

Previous Names: Alleliuah-Skye Faolán || Lady of Winter’s Thorns || Wolfheart

Deednames: None.

Species: Changeling (Beast Hunterheart) || Kinfolk: Get of Fenris/Fianna by Marriage

Birthday: Unknown (July 21)

Location: Three River Valley Sept

Appearance

Eye Color: Dark, bruise-violet.

Hair Color: Golden and wildly curled.

Skin Color: Tanned.

Fashion Sense: Old, worn and comfortable. Her husband’s shirt, a pair of tattered jeans and her old boots are her favorite outfit.

Tattoos: None.

Scars: The canvas of her frame is littered with a variety of scars, some ritual, some earned, some given. Ritual scars: Large wings spread over her back, while an eye is centered in between them, against her spine. What used to be a thorny vine wrapped around her left bicep, but has been since mangled. Against her right shoulder are claw marks. On the left between the joint and her collarbone is an open triquetra. Around her navel is a crescent moon connected to a half sun with wandering rays. A Black Spiral Dancer once carved his name into her lower back, but that has been since burnt and healed off.

Mien: That golden hair of hers seems to be all the more wild and crazed, bristling with a life all its own. There are eyes hidden in her hair, that allow her to see all around her, as a manifestation of her paranoia. Her eyes are the bright amber of a wolf's, and her canines are enlarged, and she has sharp nails and pointed ears. Her scars remain.

Personality: Alleliuah is a quiet woman, but violent. Quiet only when things are calm, but at the blink of an eye, her temper can take over. Constantly swimming in the mire of a world she barely knows, PTSD and memories, along with the clean cut demand for survival, she has no qualms jumping into the thick of battle. Conversely, she's not great at showing her affection, but she will sacrifice herself without a thought for her loved ones.

Weapons:

A war hammer forged by Gideon "Smiles-Until-Dawn" Sawyer of iron, oak and the bones of her fallen brothers, which has been imbued with Nymph magicks by Verena Ironbourn for maximum impact.

She also wields a broadsword, originally Gideon's that she has recently discovered has the magick of flames embedded within the metal.

A Shadow Lord Fang Dagger.

A Skin-Dancer’s skinning knife

Dragon-Piercer, a Grand-Klaive Fetish previously owned by Wilhelm

Likes:

Cherries

Macarons

Blackwater Whiskey

Wood Carving

Relaxing in her Hammock

The Story

Alleliuah was born on Hellifyno, in the mountainous region of the Northern Continent as the product of bastardized creatures. From the spoiled breeding of Fenrir wolves, and Fae magicks came a kinfolk with gnosis. This oddity led to the interest of the Lord of Winter’s Thorns, who took her as a Bride & Hunter. Over the years, her memory of her homeland was reduced to dim recollection.

Alleliuah's bizarre existence and bloodline from the Hand of Tyr, as well as being blessed by Gnosis made her attractive to the Lord. She became his wife and personal guard dog who accompanied him on hunts and was sent with a partner, Kana, from time to time to track down prized Changelings that had yet to get through the Hedge. He also enjoyed setting his dogs and changelings to fight in The Furnace during full moons.

Occasionally, Alleliuah was kept in a cage with the other beasts, but often slept beside her husband. Like all Fae, he ran hot and cold and would often punish her, or simply neglect her.

It was during one of these periods when she managed to make her escape. Tracking down a Changeling with Kana, who had fled, they were attacked by the woman. Alleliuah fell into a frozen river when it cracked, and was sucked below the ice. A great Leviathan of a Beast guarded a Hedge Gate hidden under the Glaeyze River, and it was pure luck that Alleliuah managed to get through.

FURTHER STORY

Centuries ago, Beowulf defeated Grendal and was crowned. But the life of luxury for the Fenrir was not in his interests. He began to seek out other monsters to slay. His Court's Mage located a powerful artifact in the midst of this, held by an incredibly powerful Fae. They managed to make it to Arcadia, but found themselves fighting a losing battle.

Some managed to stumble out of the Hedge on sheer accident, making their home in the mountains of the Northern Continent. Others, did not. Over time, they were pursued and forced to breed, and became warped by the magicks of Arcadia. As the decades and centuries wore on, they grew to be pale shades of what they once were. Limited to a single form, an archaic, garbled form of the garou tongue and loyal to an absolute fault. Hardy, relentless and violent. Those that did not make the cut, were left to roam. Those that did, were the Hounds of the Wild Hunt. The Lord of Winter's Thorns had been raising these wolves to fill in the ranks of his hunting packs, as well as his own personal Wild Hunt for changelings that escaped him.

The Lord of Winter's Thorns was a True Fae that had been corrupted over the years by a tainted circlet once created by the Bastet to mimic the Silver Fang crown. It had given him dreams and visions over the years, culminating to a War where Wyrm hopes to destroy the Garou that have arrived.

Contracts:

Beast's Blessing: She has a supernatural affinity with wolves, and has a powerful personal magnetism about her.

Hunterheart Blessing: Her teeth and nails are far stronger than a mortal's and can deliver lethal damage.

Relentless Endurance: She can take grievous amounts of damage, but sequester the pain to the back of her mind and ignore it. Once the scene is over however, it comes back.

Lady Luck: Good fortune seems to follow her. However, usage of this Contract invites terrible consequences.

Trespasser's Spoor: Once the changeling writes their name on the entrance in chalk and blood, they may sense any threats that enter their territory.

Wildwalker: After sleeping outdoors, a changeling can freely move through nature with no obstacles.

Beast's Keen Senses: If the changeling touches an animal-type of their contract, they acquire the senses of that animal.

Nevertread: By stopping to cover a single footprint and expending the Glamour, all of her footsteps from there on until the Contract ends, will be obscured. Only supernatural means will be able to track her path. As a Beast, she can extend this coverage to benefit those that travel with her. Even when the Contract has ended, the footsteps that were covered, will remain covered.

Might of the Terrible Brute: The changeling drains her opponent's strength to boost her own.

Red Revenge: By calling out to all of the hatred and misery in the world, she can summon her wrath like an aura. Her skin blisters and splits, and blood surrounds her in a haze. It acts like an armor, moves quicker and incites fear in the opponent. It causes her to go berserk.

Trusty Blades: The changeling cannot be easily disarmed, and rearming or drawing blades is done reflexively.

Song of Flashing Steel: By using this clause, the changeling calls to her hand a weapon with which she is familiar that is in line of sight (or in the same world by expending Willpower). The blade will avoid all obstacles in its path there, bar solid barriers.

Gifts:

Ice Echo: She can conjure a perfect reflection of herself. The image is identical to the her, except that it is reversed, as though seen in a mirror (so any writing on her clothing would be backwards, scars would be on the wrong side, etc.) She can control the image easily, giving it voice and guiding its motion. Taught by the Wendigo lupus ancestor spirit, Little - Bear.

Howl of the Banshee: The werewolf emits a fearful howl that causes those who hear it to run in terror. A Banshee — a mournful spirit of the dead — teaches this Gift.

Speech of the World: This Gift allows Gaia’s warriors to read and wield the spirit of speech, bypassing the need to learn different languages and dialects. The Garou may speak and understand any human language she encounters, though she speaks with an obvious accent, marking her as an outsider. Speech of the World doesn’t convey literacy, nor is it an encyclopedia of cultural information. An ancestor-spirit teaches this Gift.

Rite of the Hunting Ground: Lupus Garou mark their territory by urinating on trees and bushes. After the rite, no wolf or Garou can come into the area without immediately realizing they have entered another's territory. There is no compunction not to enter, however. Typically, the Garou must spend an hour marking her territory. Special messages, such as a greeting to other Garou, can be left as well.

Voice of the Jackal: This rite is performed when a Garou's behavior has shamed not just herself, but her entire sept or tribe. When the ritemaster performs this rite, he blows a handful of dust or ashes onto the offender and speaks the following: "Because thy (cowardice/gluttony/selfishness/etc.) has proved thee to be of jackal blood, let thy voice proclaim thy true breed!" As the dust and words envelop the punished Garou, her voice changes. Thereafter, she will speak in an annoying shrill and piercing nasal whine until the ritemaster repeals the punishment.

POE, Edgar Allan. El escarabajo de oro y otros cuentos; El gato negro (2 vols.), Ediciones Generales Anaya (Col. tus Libros, n.º 1, 25), Madrid, 1981-1983.

EDGAR ALLAN POE Y LA LITERATURA ESTADOUNIDENSE DEL SIGLO XIX

La joven nación estadounidense llevó a cabo durante el siglo XIX su expansión hacia el oeste, llegando a consolidarse como Estado. Sus escritores dieron testimonio de todo ello en una literatura de enorme vitalidad y calidad.

INICIOS DE LA LITERATURA NORTEAMERICANA

Los primeros pasos de las letras estadounidenses tienen influencia europea. Washington Irving (1783-1878) es el primer autor importante; escribió relatos de ambientación exótica y medieval, como los Cuentos de la Alhambra. Con las novelas de aventuras de James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851), la nueva literatura adquiere carácter propio al tratar asuntos de su realidad inmediata, como la lucha de los pioneros o la gran naturaleza norteamericana. Su obra más famosa es la novela El último mohicano, que narra la desaparición de una tribu india en el proceso de colonización. Pero detengámonos en el primer gran escritor del siglo: Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849). Tanto sus teorías sobre la literatura como sus poemas (el más famoso es El cuervo) sientan las bases de la poesía moderna partiendo de ciertas nociones del romanticismo inglés, e influyeron enormemente en la poesía europea de finales de siglo. Su fama se debe a sus extraordinarios relatos (vid. Relatos de Poe), que también influirán en los cultivadores del género en los siglos XIX y XX. Sus cuentos combinan una tendencia hacia lo fantástico con la exactitud realista y la intriga de la trama. Gracias a algunos de ellos (La carta robada, El escarabajo de oro, Los crímenes de la calle Morgue) se le considera el fundador del género policiaco; en otros alcanza la maestría en el género del misterio y el terror (El corazón delator, La verdad sobre el caso del señor Valdemar, La caída de la Casa Usher). es también autor de una novela, Las aventuras de Arthur Gordon Pym, que narra la historia -a veces truculenta- de un viaje en barco por el Atlántico. A Edgar Allan Poe siguieron los escritores Nathaniel Hawthorne (La letra escarlata, La casa de las siete torres), Herman Melville (Moby Dick, Bartleby el escribiente), Walt Whitman (Hojas de hierba), Mark Twain (Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn, El forastero misterioso) y Jack London (La llamada de lo salvaje, El lobo de mar).

Del año 1981 data la edición del primer volumen de los clásicos de la colección Tus Libros de Anaya, libros de lectura infantil y juvenil, con tapas duras de pasta blanca. Colección comprada sobre todo por padres y tutores con iniciativa educadora, como los puzles o los juegos de Educa, era el regalo familiar expresamente “educativo” que trataba de paliar las carencias de algunas materias en la formación escolar básica. La colección tenía notas a pie de página, introducciones históricas y biográficas y explicaciones literarias del contenido. Eran libros ilustrados y, por tanto, infantiles y/o juveniles. La guerra de los botones, El escarabajo de oro o El forastero misterioso enseñaron a leer de verdad a un par de generaciones de niños valientes o provistos de parientes discontinuos. Las traducciones, los estudios y las ilustraciones se habían realizado con gran mimo, con respeto por el lector, que era niño pero dejaría de serlo. El lector se daba cuenta de que los autores no escribían las escenas porque sí, sólo porque quedaban bien o porque eran interesantes, sino que el proceso creativo era mucho más complejo y rico.

Lamentablemente, esa colección ha quedado en el olvido, en vías de desaparecer dentro de un lustro. Ya no hay rito, ni misterio. En su lugar, han lanzado una versión degradada de lo que Tus Libros era (la han llamado “Tus Libros Selección”). Las cubiertas, de tapa dura y blanca, se han ablandado. Han conservado todas las traducciones (era lo lógico y económico), pero el estudio crítico, reducido en extensión, ha sido finalmente sustituido por “un apéndice de ficción, a cargo de prestigiosos autores actuales, que descubre, a través de un artificio literario, algunas de las claves para la interpretación de la obra”. Para ser coherentes con el conjunto, también han perdido encanto las ilustraciones.

TUS LIBROS SELECCIÓN

En la primera página presentan la colección y te explican cómo es, aunque veo que han introducido algunos cambios respecto a Tus Libros clásicos:

- Ahora traen notas a los lados con explicación o definición de palabras complicadas. Antes las notas eran como las de cualquier libro adulto: a pie de página, explicando conceptos y haciendo referencias al texto. - Las cubiertas actuales son distintas. Coloristas sobre fondo oscuro. - Ahora las ilustraciones son siempre del mismo dibujante o de alguno que la editorial escoge (presumiblemente) para dar a la nueva edición apariencia de modernidad. En los antiguos, cada libro tenía sus ilustradores y muchas veces eran ilustraciones clásicas, de la época (las de la edición original).

- Ahora ya no incluye un rico apéndice biográfico y bibliográfico, sólo una escueta presentación del autor al inicio del libro y ese apéndice de ficción al que nos hemos referido más arriba.

Dependiendo de la colección, la editorial Anaya ofrece actualmente unas guías de lectura, guías de actividades o solucionarios que tratan de suplir los apéndices incluidos al final de cada obra de la clásica colección Tus Libros —ahora la colección está repartida en nuevas y variadas colecciones: Tus Libros Selección (la cual ofrece en su página web una guía de lectura para cada libro; que, si bien no suple al apéndice clásico, ayuda al lector a comprender la obra), Libro Regalo (incluye algunos títulos de la clásica colección Laurin; si bien respetando sus apéndices y pies de página, pero siendo recomendados por edades: dos para los de ocho, dos para los de diez años), Clásicos Hispánicos y Clásicos a Medida (estas colecciones ofrecen al profesorado solucionarios para cada una de las guías de actividades que acompaña a los libros; algunos títulos coinciden con los de la clásica colección Tus Libros, también repartidos por edades: a partir de ocho, diez, doce, catorce…)—. Las guías y solucionarios han sido realizadas por autores diferentes que, a veces, no se corresponden con los que han escrito la obra de la que parten sus actividades propuestas (por ejemplo, Vicente Muñoz Puelles es el autor de muchos libros de Anaya, ilustrados por diferentes dibujantes, y las guías y actividades que complementan las obras han sido realizadas por otro autor).

Colección Laurin: Cuentos de antaño (+8), Max y Moritz (+8), Las aventuras de Alicia (+10), Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer (+10). [Sólo se han reeditado estos cuatro de los más de treinta títulos que ofrecía la colección clásica, según el Catálogo General Anaya del año 2019]

Elissa and Sawyer’s Wedding: Who Was On the Guest List?

Yesterday news broke of a private ceremony held for Her Royal Highness Princess Elissa of Rivenia and Sawyer Quinn, eldest son of the Duke of Andale. While Wilhelm Palace had tried to make sure that no press had been alerted, local Glimmerbrook paps had been able to snap shots of some of the guests arriving!

First up, we have the maid of honor, Eve Quinn, dressed in a lovely, emerald green off-the-shoulder gown that showed off her perfect figure. Her golden locks were swept up into a high ponytail and she kept her jewelry simple with small gold and jade earrings and a teardrop diamond necklace.

The young actress reportedly flew in from the set of her next project in Sulani, rumored to be her first television role. She was recently even spotted staying with her Uncle River and Aunt Amina...the rumors of the family feud ending must certainly be believed now!

Shockingly, despite the still rocky relationship between Amina and Sawyer Quinn, the best man’s wife Amina and family showed up to attend; in tow were her two eldest children Kaleo and Masina.

(Above: Amina looked stunning in her mint green Channel dress paired with a lovely black fascinator. For her accessories she wore a pair of antique drop earrings belonging to her mother and her wedding ring.)

The mother of three has been working diligently alongside her older brothers for the family business back in Sulani, Braxton Inc., rarely seen outside of her native country nowadays. She was recently featured in OhSim! Sulani magazine as one of the top ten most wealthy businesswomen in Sulani, with a net-worth of almost five-hundred million simoleons!

(Above: Masina Quinn wore a pale pink, one-shoulder dress which featured a geometric cut-out along with nude pumps and a white fascinator.)

Despite being a part of one of the wealthiest families in Sulani, Amina’s children live a very down to earth lifestyle. The family lives in a modest, beachfront bungalow with three bedrooms instead of one of the many mega-mansions owned by not only the Braxton family but the Quinn family as well and although all of the children attend an exclusive private school for security reasons, they spend plenty of time amongst the general populace in their free time.

(Above: River was photographed arriving after his family as Best Man for his older brother; Kaleo looked relaxed in his more casual suit, reportedly a re-wear from his recent high school graduation!)

Both River and Amina encourage their children to partake in various conservation cleanups run by local charities as well as take an interest in giving back to the less fortunate in their city. Their oldest, Kaleo, was known to frequent a local food drive which offers free traditional Sulanian cuisine to Oa’hu’s homeless population while his younger sister, Masina, volunteers at a pro-bono child minding center throughout her summer breaks. The entire family often is spotted participating in local beach clean-ups during their weekends.

(Above: “Not f–––ing likely,” Mr. Hampton had shouted to a brave reporter who had asked about Nicky’s pending proposal.)

Also in attendance that day were Crown Prince Nicholas of Lunaria and his best friend Elliott Hampton, both of whom we were able to catch sharing a laugh over rumors of Prince Nicky popping the question to someone special sometime soon. Both HRH and Elliott looked suave in their suits –– Nicky in black and Elliott in blue –– as they walked into Dover Chapel as each other’s “dates”.

It was refreshing to see Their Majesties King Dante and Queen Ashli of Windsor in attendance as well, that afternoon. TM have left most of their foreign visits to their eldest son, Crown Prince Kellan, in a rumored attempt to separate him from his high school sweetheart, Julianna Byrd, an unpopular match in Windsor.

King Dante adorably matched his wife with his blue, pinstriped suit while also showing off a few more gray hairs (possibly from the stress his three sons have been putting him through!). Both were cheerful, though, as they entered the chapel with their oldest daughter, Princess Karissa, in tow.

Not much is known about Princess KiKi nowadays, only that HRH is high achieving in her academic studies and may or may not be dating a foreign royal. The young Princess has recently been photographed most often in Bordeaux where her prestigious boarding school, Sainte Marie International Academy, is located.

(Above: Queen Ashli looked regal in a slim-cut, royal blue, sleeveless dress and matching strappy heels. She accessorized with her trusty Channel pearl encrusted choker, a pair of pearl and sapphire earrings, and her favorite diamond brooch from the Royal Vault.)

(Above: Princess KiKi was a vision in red! She wore her chocolate colored locks in their natural waves, pinned back with a matching red “hatband”. From HRH’s designer dress, custom slingback heels, and to her ruby and gold enamel locket, KiKi’s just like her mom –– an expert when it comes to style!)

(Above: A radiant Duchess of Andale was all smiles yesterday in her lilac dress and pillbox hat. She debuted a beautiful seven-strand pearl necklace that featured a whopping 20-carat diamond as the centerpiece –– a wedding anniversary gift from her husband this year!)

The Duke and Duchess of Andale were also in attendance for the wedding, along with their youngest son, Prince Adrian. The family was all smiles as they entered the chapel while sharing a lively conversation.

The Duke has been busy as of late, helping represent his brother, King Arden, by touring across Lunaria with the Duchess at his side. His busy schedule has apparently been an attempt to keep focus off of the Crown Prince and all of the drama that follows him, although it hasn’t seemed to work all that well if we’re being honest. But, hey, we’re glad to see Rhys and Claire doing so well!

(Above, left: Prince Adrian is set to finish his final year at Hartfordshire Academy this spring; it’s predicted that he’ll choose to go to UBrite next fall. Right: the Duke of Andale spotted one of our photographers and gave a jovial wave, but didn’t stop to answer any questions.)

(Above: Princess Diana dressed in a cheery yellow floral dress for the occasion with a matching hat and ribbon heels. She accessorized with tiny diamond earrings and her grandmother’s diamond bow brooch.)

From our very own Rivenian Royals we caught when Crown Princess Diana arrived with her new husband Stefon, the Duke of Ariste, by her side. The two were wed early last year and still have that newlywed glow about them, although rumors have been circulating that it’s really a pregnancy glow for the Crown Princess! If it’s true, no wonder TRHs were smiling so much!

(Above: While looking a bit gloomy, Elizabeth still dressed to impress in her all-blue ensemble! With her dark hair pulled back in a sleek bun she showed off some new pearl earrings and their matching necklace!)

With the exact opposite countenance, Princess Elizabeth arrived soon after her older sister, bringing an almost tangible cloud of doom and gloom with her. The second in line to Rivenia’s throne has spent most of her time in neighboring Lunaria, diligently working on running the Montgomery Gallery of Classical Arts and seemingly pining for (or dating?) Crown Prince Nicholas. Although, with his previous reaction to our questions about whether or not he’d be proposing...perhaps we already know the reason for the long face she’d shown at her aunt’s wedding.

(Above: Queen Kirana wore her signature two stranded pearl necklace for the occasion along with gold hoop earrings with delicate pearl drops. Her flowy, off-the-shoulder dress was from a local Rivenian designer and has since sold out of stock.)

The final guests we were able to catch sight of had been none other than Their Majesties the King and Queen of Rivenia themselves! King Grayson was reportedly “unusually excited” to see his younger half sister get married that afternoon.

“He thought she [Elissa] would never settle down to find any happiness,” an insider had shared. “He thought she would work herself to an early grave, cut herself off from the world and her family.”

It looks like HM has no more need to worry! His younger sister had never looked so blissfully happy than on her wedding day!

El cine de terror está lleno de personajes emblemáticos. Algunos, incluso, trascendieron las barreras de la pantalla y hacen parte de la cultura popular. Recopilamos algunos de ellos y a continuación les contamos su historia.

Rotten Tomatoes

Freddy Krueger es el personaje principal de la saga de películas ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’. Fue creado por Wes Craven e interpretado por Robert Englund en todas las películas hasta 2003, así como en una serie de televisión. Jackie Earle Haley le dio vida en la versión del 2010. El personaje surge en las pesadillas de los niños y adolescentes de la calle Elm Street para asesinarlos, pues los actos cometidos tienen repercusión en la vida real.

Paramount Pictures

Jason Voorhees es el protagonista de las doce películas de la franquicia ‘Viernes 13’ (‘Friday the 13th’, en inglés). Jason nació un viernes 13 de 1946. Sus compañeros de campamento se burlaban con frecuencia de él por su hidrocefalia. Fue tal el abuso, que lo persiguieron hasta el lago, donde cayó y se ahogó. Años más tarde Jason aparece y decide vengarse.

Warner Bros.

Creado por el aclamado escritor estadounidense Stephen King para la novela ‘It’, Pennywise, también llamado ‘La cosa’, es un payaso malvado. El personaje fue interpretado por Tim Curry en la miniserie ‘It’ de 1990 y por el sueco Bill Skarsgård en la película homónima estrenada en 2017. Es posible que Pennywise no tenga una apariencia física definida, al menos según los conceptos humanos, siendo su naturaleza muy similar a la idea de un omnipotente dios de la locura y la maldad. Esta es la razón por la que se lo denomina ‘Eso’ (It, en inglés). La imagen que adopta con mayor frecuencia es la de un payaso.

Warner Bros.

Regan MacNeil es un personaje de la novela de 1971 ‘El Exorcista’, de William Peter Blatty. En su versión cinematográfica, ‘El Exorcista’, Regan MacNeil fue interpretada por Linda Blair, quien ganó el Globo de Oro a la mejor actriz de reparto. Es una niña de 12 años que, en medio del drama por el divorcio de sus padres, encuentra una güija en su casa. Movida por su inocencia, decide jugar y días después le cuenta a su madre que se había contactado con alguien que ella identifica como ‘Capitán Howdy’. Con el tiempo, se descubrirá que Regan está poseída por un demonio.

IMDb

El escritor Thomas Harris dio a conocer la existencia del célebre personaje Dr. Hannibal Lecter en su novela ‘El dragón rojo’, de 1981. La historia fue llevada al cine por Jonathan Demme con la película ‘The Silence of the Lambs’, en la que el personaje fue interpretado por Anthony Hopkins. Este personaje es un psicópata con indicios de canibalismo.

Lionsgate Films

John Kramer, más conocido como Jigsaw, es el protagonista de la saga ‘Saw’. Interpretado por el actor estadounidense Tobin Bell, el personaje es un ingeniero que, tras superar una depresión provocada por la muerte de su hijo y el diagnóstico de un tumor en su cerebro, intenta que otras personas aprecien, como él, la vida. Para este fin, Kramer los somete a pruebas en la que solo pueden salvar sus vidas sacrificando algo preciado. Así crea los ‘Juegos del miedo’, conocidos en la saga.

Captura de video

Leatherface es un personaje creado por el guionista Kim Henkel y el director Tobe Hooper. Su verdadero nombre es Jedidah Sawyer y es el villano principal de la franquicia ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’, de 1974. El personaje pertenecía a una familia de caníbales que se encargaba de matar a jóvenes. Él cortaba la carne para cenar con su despiadada familia.

IMDb

Chucky es un muñeco que fue poseído por medio de magia vudú por el asesino en serie Charles Lee Ray. El personaje fue creado por Don Mancini para la película ‘Child’s Play’ (Chucky: el muñeco diabólico), de 1988. La cinta narraba la historia de Charles Lee Ray, un asesino quien, herido en el pecho y acorralado por la policía, decide traspasar su alma a un muñeco llamado ‘Good Guy’.

IMDb

Michael Myers es un personaje de la saga de películas ‘Halloween’. Fue creado por Debra Hill y John Carpenter y ha aparecido en nueve películas, así como en una novela, un videojuego y varios libros de historietas. En la versión original, de Carpenter y Hill, Myers es un asesino psicópata por naturaleza sin explicación más allá de lo que parece ser una maldad intrínseca. Después se crearía el argumento de la ‘Maldición de la Espina’, que da una explicación sobrenatural a su comportamiento vinculándolo a la magia negra y ritos celtas.

DreamWorks Pictures

Samara Morgan es un personaje de la saga de películas de ‘El aro’, conocida por ser la mujer que, en la película, sale de un pozo profundo y traspasa la pantalla del televisor. Con una bata blanca hasta las rodillas y una cabellera negra que cubre su rostro, Samara aparece varias veces en estas películas asustando a todo aquel que se encuentre viéndolas.

Warner Bros.

Jack Torrance es el protagonista y antagonista de la novela homónima de Stephen King ‘El resplandor’, de 1977. Fue interpretado por Jack Nicholson en la versión cinematográfica de 1980 y por Steven Weber en la miniserie de 1997. Torrance es un escritor que recién ha superado el alcoholismo. En la película, lleva a su familia a un hotel, que lo conduce a una histeria provocada por el bloqueo de escritor y sus espíritus a beber. Se enoja y desea matar a su familia con un mazo.

Dimension Films

Ghostface, creado por Wes Craven en conjunto con el guionista Kevin Williamson y la diseñadora de disfraces Brigitte Sleiertin, es un asesino serial ficticio, antagonista principal de la franquicia de cine de terror ‘Scream’. El personaje es mudo, pero interpretado vocalmente por el actor Roger L. Jackson. La identidad del personaje sería usada como un disfraz para que cada uno de los antagonistas de cada película oculte su identidad, mientras realiza asesinatos en serie y, por tal motivo, ha sido retratado por varios actores y dobles de riesgo.

Warner Bros

En 2014, con la dirección de John R. Leonetti y guion de Gary Dauberman, se estrenó la película ‘Annabelle’, precuela y ‘spin-off’ de ‘El Conjuro’. La película está inspirada en una de las investigaciones de los parapsicólogos Ed y Lorraine Warren en 1970, cuando se registró que una muñeca, al parecer, estaba poseída. La muñeca fue fabricada por una juguetera infantil que comercializaba los productos de Raggedy Ann, marca creada en 1915 por Johnny Gruelle.

Universal Pictures

El monstruo de Frankenstein es un personaje de ficción que apareció por primera vez en la novela ‘Frankenstein o el moderno Prometeo’ (1818), de Mary Shelley. Se trata de un ser creado a partir de partes diferentes de cadáveres, al cual le es otorgada la vida por Víctor Frankenstein, su creador, durante un experimento. El personaje ha llegado a formar parte de la cultura popular y ha sido fuente de inspiración para la creación de otros personajes de novelas, cómics, series televisivas y películas.

Nosferatu es un ser sobrenatural que vive en un castillo abandonado en las cumbres de las montañas de Transilvania. Con un cuerpo cadavérico, pálido, apestoso, la extraña criatura duerme en tierra muerta en una tumba envuelta en una capa de polvo santo que hace que sus poderes perduren eternamente. Nosferatu apareció por primera vez en la película muda ‘Nosferatu: una sinfonía del horror’, de 1922, dirigida por Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau.

Muñecos poseídos, criaturas con sed de venganza y asesinos seriales son algunos de ellos.
