Thoughts on Fay
Posted: 04 May 2020, 13:56
I’m kinda curious about what everyone thinks about Fay. She never appears outside The Dragon’s Lair, and her very existence is suspect.
First things first, she should be dead. All the Dunshelms (bar Treguard, of course) were killed in the battle with Vestan. So how is she alive, how did Treguard find her and why don’t we see her on screen?
My personal theory on this, is that Fay was somehow smuggled out of Dunshelm to Wolfenden before Vestan’s attack. She lived there for years, until suddenly Wolfenden became part of the dungeon. Somehow, her and Treguard meet - maybe something like this:
A random (obviously not canon) series 6 quest
[Wolfenden village street, Fay standing in the middle. The dungeoneer walks up to her ]
Advisor: Go say hi.
Dungeoneer: Hi, who are you?
Fay: I'm Fay of Dunshelm. Or at least they say I am, I've never been there.
Treguard: What?!
[He faints. Pickle goes over to him]
Pickle: Don't worry Team. he's not dead, just unconscious.
Well, maybe someone else has a better idea.
So why do we never see her? More theorising, but I think that Fay went and joined the modern world. In both The Forbidden Gate and The Dragon’s Lair, Knightmare Castle is shown to exist in our world. So maybe Fay just spends her time going to school and acting like a normal kid. She certainly seems quite normal, what with her ‘Pop star pin-ups” comment.
Finally, what do you think about Fay being Treguard’s assistant? It would certainly be an interesting dynamic. Fay would definitely respect Treguard, but maybe also be more confident to challege him.
Another thing to think about is how Fay would react around the advisors, bearing in mind that she is roughly the same age (or younger) as them. It might put the younger teams at ease, or just be awkward. Any actor playing her would have to be a kid as well, and that brings up a whole new set of problems.
I, personally, am fine with all this, although Fay calling Treguard “Uncle” might give me flashbacks to Charmian Gradwell and an aspidistra.
So here is my take on Fay. Thank you for reading, if indeed you still are.
