I prefer the mysterious prognostications if they are given with some humor or a sense that the mentor is out of touch. Caldwell, with the pot on his head, is the first character who comes to mind like this. Let me know your thoughts below!

My preference is option B. Even though they seem sort of useless (they are always looking over them), these glasses have Character with a capital C. They're quirky and fun, implying the character is a bit quirky and fun. What's your preference?

Thank you!

So you base your preference of beards on your mentors on your own facial hair? 🤓

My choice is B. Long beards are very distracting. It's hard to believe that anyone with a beard that long wouldn't have food or other surprises caught in it. In addition, the short beard indicates a high level of sassiness and humor that I adore in my fantasy characters. What do you think?

Thanks!

All the tears. There may even have been a bit of gnashing of teeth too. 🤓

Thank you!
