= Herself. Eileen sees this as something to be proud of.
Reckless, Irresponsible Idiot
= The Fairy Queen. Naturally Roxannadrell would swap these two definitions around.
Human =
Destroyer of worlds (they’re starting on Earth). Derek is the exception.
Fairy Tale
= Wishful thinking on the part of humans. Eileen considers the versions we have as far too wishy washy. Her opinion of the Disney versions I could not repeat here.
Alien
= Anything Eileen finds strange. Given her wide experience with different worlds and species, and her run-ins with her regal cousin, there isn’t much Eileen does find alien. When she does it tends to be related to how humans do things.
Men
= Someone at the behest of their hormones. This does include Derek. Not that Eileen is complaining. Their marriage has been happy for a very good reason!
Women
= Civilising Influence on Men. Eileen tends to blame women when men go off the rails on the grounds the ladies weren’t doing their job properly. This is a very old fashioned view by Eileen’s standards. Hanastrew, for example, thinks the individual should take responsibility for their own mistakes.
Magic
= Power Source that’s often more trouble than it’s worth, but it is okay for her to use it.
Secrets
= Again more trouble than they’re worth but it’s fine if she keeps them. She knows what she’s doing. This is not a view Jennifer shares.
Derek
= Sex on legs. And a damned fine gardener. Eileen has a penchant for a man who likes getting dirty…
Politicians
= People who like power and who forget they’re meant to serve their public. In Eileen’s view this applies to both worlds she’s belonged to.
Journalists
= Licensed snoopers, guaranteed to cause trouble. Eileen’s wary about the free flow of information. While no dictator in the traditional sense, Eileen would prefer information to be “filtered” so the right information gets to the right people. Naturally she would define what right was!
