Recently, io9 featured some beautiful art nouveau portraits of 1980s and 90s fantasy heroines. Can you name their related works or creators without looking? I read or watched nearly all of the works as a child, and I think it’s nifty to see them all together. I think Lili from Legend is the most interesting, probably because we get to see her in her “good” form and her mirrored “evil” form. And I think that’s an interesting exercise–what would the negative image of a character be like? What if, instead of heroine, she were villain, and what if the villain saved the day?
