![]() Names such as Fable, Saint, West, and Clove feel like they hold a tale that remains to be told. But there is no apparent connection between the character and their name. They are straightforward and even direct. The character names in Fable fascinate me. ![]() She is a flesh and blood child who needs her father’s love, not a moral tale. Saint is no saint, just as Fable is no fable, or at least not yet. He also protects his heart from seeing the resemblance to his late wife daily is something that he would never admit to himself or others. ![]() He feels the only way to protect himself from this inevitability is to make sure no one ever knows that he has a daughter while taking care of her in secret and from a great distance. The pool of people you can trust is tiny, and that creates characters who do not even know who they are, who are scared to be themselves, or who relish in the deception.įable is left on an island at a young age by her father, Saint, who is afraid that others will try to use her in order to get to him. You never know what is real and what is false or believe simply that everything is fake. ![]() ![]() When love is dangerous, and lies are the only way to protect anything and everything that matters to you, it will have interesting effects on the psyche.
