Do you think we'll see Elaine again?
« on: April 11, 2025, 02:33:43 PM »
I'm rereading White Night and I'm wondering about Elaine more and more. Remember all the thinking that Elaine might be Kumori? I keep thinking about the mental whammy DuMorne played at with Elaine and any number of other things and think we certainly haven't seen the last of Elaine. I also wonder if she could be of the thinking that black magic isn't necessarily used for bad things like Kumori saving the man's life using necromancy. I haven't put my finger on it, but there's something prickling at the back of my brain. Maybe she's black council? She's anti white council based on her discussion with Harry about going before the WC. It's thin, but possible.

Anyway--Hope all are well.

We still don't know enough really about Elaine.  We have what Harry remembers about them growing up together.. But even that gets a bit contradictory considering what Harry has said about what happened the day he skipped class and came home to be with her.  When we meet her she seems reasonable enough, as Harry says has lots of talent, but she clearly colors outside of the lines. I still think she was the instrument through which Aurora was infested with Nemesis, but was that unwittingly done, or a willful act?

Yes, we will see Elaine again.  It wouldn’t surprise me to see her in the next book.

 Yes, I also think we will see Elaine again, but the question will be, what team is she really on?

There are lines and then there are lines... ::)  It's all about the lines one chooses to color with in and which ones become meaningless because they no longer matter.. ;)

Good luck with that!
I'm pretty sure the lines are fuego'd to ash or forzare'd to smitherieens.   ;)
