The Fool (spoilers for all RotE books, including LST)

[NeverBeenWise]

What impresses me about the Fool is that he/she (for the sake of the board, as I personally like to think of the Fool as male) seems to undergo such a complete shift in character every time it's necessary. Having acted myself, I know that I have to get into a certain character's mindset before I can ever play it convincingly, and even my thought processes have to change. So I think that when the Fool died, he thought of himself as male, and that's what the inhabitants of the Rooster Crown picked up on. However, when the Fool was playing Lady Amber in Liveships, I think he thought of himself as female, whatever his "plumbing" may have been. So I think the minstrels in the Crown would have called the Fool a female had his/her last thought been as Lady Amber.

Just my own two cents!
