[Kvetch]

so, so far we have a female (or at least non-male) thief, in a humorous fantasy (or spec fic) story that has been made into a film in the last twenty years, but was witten before that.

[Aunflin]

And I have no idea what it is!

[Kvetch]

me neither.

[Kvetch]

can we take it as read (no pun intended) that the story is a prose novel?

[ChoChiyo]

And the theif ends the novel with a blade in her hand.

Hmmm....not a clue.

before asking the next question, can we assume that 4 means that the character is not male, or not?

[clong]

My response was intended to communicate that the character is not an adult human male.

[Greabo Girl]

So the character is a boy (child)?

[Kvetch]

the character is non-human, so question avails us nothing.
