[Glorantha] Jane on the Kallyr pictures

[Jane]
:The nearest I have to a problem with that is the
:feathers attached to her spear. I'll give that some
:thought. I hate that picture, anyway. It's a cute
:little girl, posing with a sword in one hand and a
:spear in the other: how does she expect to use either?
:Not as bad as the one with her curled seductively
:around Minaryth, but still yucky. Try the one on p10.
:Or on the box front of RQ3. Maybe the p39 one is her
:back in 1610 or so, or even younger, that might
:explain it.

Hmm... My image for Kallyr has been formed by a few influences. A partial parallel, or course, is Jar-Eel who definitely is supposed to be youthful and beautiful. Also the Kallyr in King of Dragon Pass, who I regard as a previous incarnation of the 1600's Kallyr, is pretty adorable.

I think Kallyr (and definitely Jar-Eel) are supernaturally strong, instead of being huge and brawny. There's a lovely picture in KoDP where young Kallyr is laughing and tossing a brawny weaponthane in the air. :D It's a good picture, where the strength of the skinny 13 year old is apparent.

Anyway, that's my two cents. Kallyr is a hero. She is propably beautiful and striking, and the heortlings don't hold with modesty.
