How I imagine Selene would look.

In the last few posts, I've listed who I had in my mind's eye when writing Sky.  It's easier to breathe life into your characters if you know what they look like., and usually it's movies that provide me with the faces :0)

So now it's Selene's turn. If you've not yet read Sky , I won't spoil it for you now. But it's no secret that Selene appears in Tomas's dreams after the girl from his ethereal relationship, Sky, disappears.

Selene takes him (in his dreams) to strange worlds and gains his trust - this is vital for what she has planned for later - but you'll have to read the book to find out! And the most obvious choice for me? 

Milla Jovovich. I first saw her in The Fifth Element and thought she was perfect for the part. But it's her appearance in  Ultraviolet  (see right) that I think is exactly how Selene would look.

I describe her eyes as portraying wisdom beyond her years - and I think Milla fits the part well.

At first, Tomas just thinks she's the creation of his over-active imagination - and if you're a frustrated  17 year-old male, she's looks pretty much like your ideal woman :0) Milla Jovovich (Selene) But things get a little strange when the boundary between his dreams and reality break down. Then he discovers there's more to Selene than he first thought!

So what do you think? Which actor most resembles Selene in your opinion?
