plzkthx101- I'm really sorry that you feel that way towards Elaine, and I do believe that you have some really good points. I admit that I sort of got carried away with some descriptions of Elaine, but I really don't think she's too perfect at all. Yes she's very pretty, and yes a lot of people like her, but she's far from perfect all by herself. She has great insecurties, for example she often second guesses herself around Tristan, and she usually tends to loose her temper rather quickly. She also has little confidence in herself, as is the case when she has trouble telling Arthur of her past. I wanted her to appear as this goddess-like beauty, but really she is just as insecure as any other person. And really, the times were I am writing about her, it is usually in a male point of view, which I'm sure alot of us can say isn't always clear. And sorry about the jewels, a little mistake.
Please don't hate Elaine! I would hate it if you just stopped reading, because I am about to delve into her past, which isn't going paint a truly pretty picture of her, believe me.
I really appreciate you views, and I am truly sorry if I was not clear on some of her lesser traits. But this is my first fanfic, so I have very little experience.
Please keep reading and I hope things turn out the way you might enjoy it. Remember, this is a work in progress, and my own characters really haven't developed as well as the knights we all know.
Thank you for your review nontheless. It's good to get some constructive critiscism sometimes.
