If those qualities are only found in their thoughts, that still says something interesting about the character. Even if a character is quiet or shy, they should still bring something unique, surprising, or larger than life to the story. This can almost be overlooked since Sido is not the main protagonist, but a significant reason to read fiction is to read about characters that see, do, and think things that we never will. She is treated terribly by her father, mostly because she is a girl and is crippled, but also for mysterious reasons the reader learns toward the end of the book.Īt first it seems like Gardner commits the cardinal sin of having a character who does nothing through the whole book: Sido lets the story happen to her as if she were no more than an observer. When she was very young, Sido was in a carriage accident which killed her mother and left her with a badly broken leg.
Sidonie de Villeduval is Yann Margoza's love interest in the historical fantasy The Red Necklace by Sally Gardner.
