I just started watching season 3 of BBC's Robin Hood, and I can't help pondering who I would be in the Robin Hood world. This is not so much a desire to Mary Sue myself as it is a not-so-idle curiosity about the sort of person I would've been in that environment. Would I be lady or peasant? Scholar, homebody, or warrior? How would I feel about the state of England---or would I care at all?

After an enormously entertaining conversation with my dad and Elessar this past weekend, I know I'd be an archer, should I choose to take up arms against the Sheriff of Nottingham. And I suspect, considering my reluctance to be helpless without a bow, that I'd probably be pretty skilled at sticking people with daggers.

I am such a writer....

Anyone else want to ponder with me? Create a Robin Hood alter-ego?
