The New Doctor Who: The Man who Walked
Hawke's Howl for Castle Princess
A medieval princess trapped in a castle guarded by an enormous monster... But she sounds more like a modern-day woman from London. She's sarcastic and witty, not your typical fairytale damsel in distress.
“Enough! Please. I grow bored from your fantasies of this ‘happily ever after’. Like the imagination of a child. Have you not ever thought for yourself on the fact that no one else has ever returned from their journeys to ‘rescue’ me?... My Dad is a bit..overprotective.”
“No no, I get it. You’ve traveled across the land so you can... ’take my hand in loving matrimony’, or...whatever! You’re not the first bloke to come here expecting some sort of 'consultation.'”
“Traveling heroes...I thank you for..coming to my rescue, blah blah, etc, etc- Oh, screw it! You’ve made a wasted journey mate! I ain’t coming down, so you might as well just get lost now!”
