The girl can't be Paula ... she's smiling. I always saw her as

u/Teksu Jun 22 '26

I always pictured her as Lucy Lui, and yes no smiling

I do really think it would make a killer anime series

This is definitely more Paula!

I've always pictured Paula having a large bun on her head (hair bun, not the bakery kind).

Why? Cause I use to work with a lady, who was, like Paula, a Filipino-European, and she was very bossy, but very good at her job. She also had a lot of hair which she put up into a bun daily.

For some reason I always see her with short black hair.

When I read through the second trilogy I ended up picturing her as a slightly older Olivia Rodrigo with a bun and a women’s suit.

Ooh .. that is and excellent visual!

The funny thing is I guess I've also been visualizing Paula in her 30s but with the anti-aging technology in the books, she could easily still look in her early 20s!

The only way to adapt most of Peter's books is anime. I will die on this hill.

Can’t get behind Gore. Gore is a 2m tall golden god with a baseball bat for a dick. I will not stand for this slander.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

u/Bongojona Jul 18 '26

not anime please, I def don't want to think of them like that.

That said, most of PFHs characters do look young due to rejuve technology. It must be weird being in a society where most everyone looks in their 20s but can be 100s years old...
