Welcome to Gaia! ::

So I’m reading a book titled “City of Night” right now, by John Rechy, and channeling the (unofficially) Universal law of Intertextuality between every medium of expression, it had a character I SWEAR is Oliver from FE9-10 in another live in New York City.

“‘But he looked Magnificent! Like a prince! An Angel! . . . Gold brocade. Purple coat. White tights. Ah! So slender! . . . The only other person I have ever seen look quite as Elegant–in my long, long, spent life–is Lola–Lola Del Rey: She is like a queen of queens: a Beauty. She had left Hollywood in exasperation: those insipid comedies, as if a goddess had been cast as a maid! It was blasphemy. . . . An outrage against Beauty is the only blasphemy.’”

If that doesn’t sound like an Oliver statement by itself, consider this: the man who says it is obese (he never leaves his bed) with gaudy, fatty fingers, and older than he is young, living in a large, ornately decorated apartment in New York City who has a “malenurse” attend to all his business. The guy is virtually Oliver Incarnate (or rather, Oliver in him Incarnate, since this book is much older than PoR/RD).

So I was wondering, FEF, have you ever stumbled across any characters from books, movies, novellas, etc… that you’d swear were just like an FE character or vise-versa?
