Rose Walker is an American teenager that becomes embroiled in one of the earlier plot lines of the series.  She is central to the second arc, but also pops up later on in a smaller role.

She is shown at first as having her hair dyed in several wild colors.  Later she has a more muted red-brown hair, with just a single streak.  Her face is round and youthful, regardless of her eventual age.

My pick for the role is Amber Tamblyn.

She looks the part, and she could handle Rose’s sarcastic shell that protects her more vulnerable nature.

Nada is an African princess from an unspecified time period.  Pre recorded history, most likely.  She became involved with Morpheus, and it led to her down fall.  Despite the tragic turn her story takes, she has an innate strength of character, and dignity.

I’m going with Lauryn Hill to play her.

( I could not find a picture of Nada anywhere.)

She is best known as a musician and singer, but she has acted as well.  She looks a bit like Nada as drawn, but more importantly she projects the integrity inherent in Nada, as well as the charm that would captivate the Dream king.

Finally for today is Thessaly.  She is one of the more mysterious characters in the book.  It is implied that she is many centuries old, and that she is a witch.  She is also rather ruthless, or at the least not very concerned with politeness.  She usually knows more than she says about any given situation, and she doesn’t have much patience for those who know less than her.  She is depicted as being very petite, with brown hair, and a heart shaped face.  She usually wears round glasses that are too big for her face.

My choice for the part is Elisabeth Moss.

She is currently playing Peggy on Mad Men.  She can play shrewd, and intense, like nobody’s business.  It would be really fun to see her play intimidating.

Up next will be sundry gods and goddesses.
