Help me, Lj-wan Kenobi.

Ah! I remember what I was going to ask you lot now.

Can you think of Athos- or D'Artagnan-like characters elsewhere in literature? (The Phoenix Guards and further volumes do not count because I've already thought of them.) Gender is no object if the author doesn't make it one. Half-credit for Porthos- or Aramis-like characters. Quarter-credit for a) other characters that remind you of specific Dumas characters; b) other characters that seem like they belong in Dumas, even though you can't quite say where; or c) comparisons that make me giggle madly.

ETA: It occurs to me that my internal automatic mappings of this question onto Margaret Cho's proclamation about "The Sweet One, The Smart One, and then there's The Ho" may say very disturbing things about what I consider sweet.

Hm. My memory must be off. I thought [remembered?] Polly as d'Artagnan and Tom as Athos. Perhaps because it feels more that way to me than as how she delegated roles.

It could also be from her renaming herself as Hero too. =grin=

I do love that book.

No, no, I'm sure you're right. Because I could have sworn I typed "Polly sees herself as d'Artagnan and Tom as Athos" and yet there it is, the wrong way round. Oops.

And I still can't check, as my distant book box hasn't moved any closer. Maybe it's time to check the library.
