Author's Note: Now, you're probably wondering, "What the heck is this? How is this a poem?" It is a poem...sort of.

This is a persona poem - a structured 8-line poem that's biographical in nature. They're short, free-verse, bio-poems where they explain the format of the characters, like what you see here. There are a few different types of persona poems. This is the easiest version to write in my opinion.

The format goes like this:

First name/nickname of the person in the poem

4 adjectives which describe the person

X of Y formula, about an important relationship to the person

3 things he/she loves

3 things that scare him/her

3 things he/she wants to see

Resident of...place, time, or concept

Last name of the person in the poem

I encourage you to try it out for yourself. If you enjoyed this poem by the end, then let me know and tell me what you think. Or if you don't like it, tell me. If you wish me to make more of these concerning either other characters in the Narnia series, or in a different fandom like HTTYD, Zootopia, Guardians of Ga'Hoole, Redwall, etc - then let me know.
