An odd dilemma.

...I've been thinking about making an RP account for Tamora Pierce's Daja because I love her to bits, but I need to get my hands on the books and reread them. Second of all...I have no idea where to look for icons. Sob. I spent an hour or so looking through stock photos and model websites trying to find someone with her likeness, but basically all

I don't really know about where to look for icons/stock/etc, sadly, but maybe you'd have better luck looking for athletes, rather than models, in terms of non-straightened hair?
But I do think you'll do an awesome Daja and I thoroughly approve of the idea. :D

That's...actually a good idea. LOL. I considered actors but honestly I have no names to search for, and "female model" got me mostly skanky pictures. (also "black female model" got me skanky white models wearing black. It was not awesome. I need to bleach my eyeballs.)

I feel awkward and not sure if I'm being too PC or not PC enough because, I mean...what keywords do I search for, really? x.x Sighhh. I did find one icon after trawling through LJ from one of the book covers, but it's so small you can barely see her face.

I'm really excited though. :D I've only seen a few TP rpers around, and no Daja. (mostly Alanna, Daine, Sandry and a George.)

I can definitely see how it'd be difficult to figure out keywords, yeah. Good luck with your search!

I'm not surprised that there are mostly Alannas and Daines, they seem like the most obvious characters (and George would be loads of fun). I wonder if there are only a few because everyone read the books when they were younger, so less fandom activity? (I know that's true in my case.)
