I've been trying to find a song for Tinsley, but Gollum's Song (Howard Shore instrumental) is indeed both eerie and melancholy enough, it doesn't have an underlying sense of danger, and retrospectively, the Isengard Theme has the intensity and slightly...off-kilter-ness that I like, but it loses the side of her that the other song captures. So...yeah. :rofl: I listen to both when I write her, depending exactly on how she should be acting.

I just tried to pull up YouTube so I could link to a couple of songs, and it came up with a 500 Internal Server error message that said "....a team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to fix the issue..." o.O Well, that makes me feel a whole lot better. Highly trained monkeys... who wouldn't be concerned?
Sorry. That was totally random...

Themes for characters... interesting. I have always listened to music when I write, but I listen to music appropriate for a particular scene in my book, like battle scenes, friendship scenes, melancholy scenes, etc. I hadn't ever thought about picking a particular song for each of my main characters. Thankfully, I know just the team of Independent Artists on YouTube to turn to...
Hmmm... let me think.....

Pharrgon (far-gone), the dragon in my book - Cry of the Dragons by BrunuhVille - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFFUFQhLXXU
It has the feeling of age, wisdom, mystery, and a particular fondness that is very good for describing Pharrgon.

Keegan, the hero in my book and Pharrgon's "adopted son" - Prophecy by Adrien Von Ziegler - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INaM813ohL8 or Tales of Ice and Blood by BrunuhVille https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2tHsj6BLuA
The feeling of memories, regrets, revenge, and the essence of a great destiny in both of the songs are just about right for Keegan.

Erewhon (air-a-wh-on), the princess in my book - Farewell to Gwen on the Merlin soundtrack by Rohan Stevenson - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Z-Tvrfnn44
The softness, the beauty, the unspoken heart, and yet the slight sense of strength... perfect for Erewhon.

Walneff, the age old prophet in the story - Night Elf Glade by Brandon Fiechter - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X26sBc7 ... USo3jos3yw
The mysterious sound, the easy going tempo, and yet the hint of slight mischief all describe Walneff well.... though I am not completely satisfied. I must search for a better song to describe him...

I love character theme songs!
One of my favorites is for Lenartus Pilcrow, the super-old super-genius in my book- Gilbert & Sullivan's "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General" really fits him. He knows a lot, but has let it go to his head, and thus his 20-year-old protege who has practically no life is far wiser than him.

"Got No Friends" by The Vespers is the theme for Elya Alteri, a lonely lady of eighteen whose strange and presumably unexplainable appearance happens to be her country's ticket to salvation from evil authorities.

"It's On" by Superchick for my awesome but bitter warrior-lady, Berneen Aghamore. She is highly competitive, and that helps her in her job, which is chief of an underground agency.

"The Precipice" by The Classic Crime reminds me of Kastan Faliscan, the previously mentioned protege. When he ends up as the hero of his master's crazy plan that is centered around a girl he would protect with his life, he realizes that he's never really done anything as his own man, except maybe make a sandwich.

"Shooting Star" by Owl City reminds me or Orim Larken. He is an unshakable optimist as a 15-year-old secret agent minstrel. (Yes, under Berneen.) He loves to sing and dance and party and meet people- classic ENFP.

I have no idea why, maybe because it gets discordant at parts and has a sort of weird eeriness to it, but this song reminds me of Tinsley.

I think either "Centuries" by Fall Out Boy or "Hope of Morning" by Icon for Hire would be Hope's theme.
