Merry vs. Anita (who would win)

newest »


After all, there's always some bad guy waiting in the wings to jump out at them. Merry's bad guy would attack one of Anita's people, while Anita's bad guy would attack one of Merry's guards. Chaos would ensue, the two would kill the bad guy of the other, they'd agree to a truce until their lives are calm enough to have an all-out battle, but one of them would always be caught up in something drastic when the other calls.
Therefore, I believe that it would be a draw.


That is totally true. Merry has all of these powers she can use from a distance which is something that could be bad for Anita. Anita's good at hand to hand not so much Merry. So Merry needs to stay back.
Yep totally agree that in the end Merry would win. This would never happen but I think they would probably get along. Atleast Anita would go bonkers for Merry's guard


I think both women are such strong female figures that they would respect each other's abilities, but not really "get along."
I disagree with Stacy's comment that Anita would go bonkers for Merry's guard. For Anita, sex is about either showing love or feeding the ardeur. Keep in mind the prude who dissed Ronnie's lifestyle still lurks somewhere in her makeup. I think she would find Merry's guard attractive, but more for their power and fighting skill than for a sexual reason. For Merry, sex is pure enjoyment, no guilt. The "Andais needs an heir" thing was just a convenient excuse for the human world's morality.


Yeah I wish there could be a crossover book but it's impossible since the two worlds don't mesh as far as setting and such but it would be awesome. Which of the boys do you think would get along? Which would hate each other? I think Frost if he was ANita's guy would end up being another Richard for Anita not as bad but along the same lines. I think Jason and Rhys could hang out. They're both pretty modern boys. Jean Claude and Doyle would be compatible they are both pretty good at tactics and thinking politicaly etc. Anita would soooo murder Cel. Oh Nathaniel and Kitto would be bestest buddies. hmmm I can't think of much else right now.




I vote for Anita and Jean-Claude raising the ardeur and everyone making love, not war. *g*
oh goodness I really think that anita would have a field day with Merry's men. I mean you know how her arduer seek out powerful men for her and people that could help her etc. Merry's men could solve all of her problems. I mean I can see Anita doing a little happy dance the second they walk in. and those boys could totally beat the poopy out of mommy dearest. Although she would be a pretty good match for them.

I'm team Anita.






Sounds like you're not up on the most recent books.

BUT
if they just met at a bar and got in a cat fight Merry would win. (No guys allowed bar) :)
NOW
throwing all the guys in the mix just makes it a draw.

I wonder if LKH would ever consider doing a crossover book?

Anita would woop butt in one on one hand to hand combat, but Merry has power that Anita has no defneses to.
IT would be awesome to have them team up, but completly impossible, considering both characters are written in the first person point of view. That would be a little wierd with all the "I" "my" .....you would get lost on who was telling the story. However, Merry's boys could pay Anita a visit for a battle. :-P


&& think of it this way, Merry only feels stronger because of her guards moral support. In a one on one throw down I think Anita would win, simply because she didn't need anyone else in the beginning to fight her battles, and she still doesn't.
Despite that I like both characters.

Merry has always known that she needed to fight to protect her own life, but her main weapons are so horrible that she doesn't use them all that often. They maim for life and can't be fixed, but they don't kill. And once childhood ended and her father died she basically always fought her own battles. The guards are a new thing for her.
Anita has weapons that can be used at a less than all or nothing level. It makes it easier to fight.


While they talk about girl's thing, like what is the best dress to keep knifes while pregnant. After a while they'll notice it's really late and Merry have to give Anita one of her mans to satisfy the ardeur.
lol

On the other hand Merry is super powerful plus she has all those lovely body guards around her, Hmmm it would be interesting wouldn't it?
What does everyone else think?
