Is it my own Avon-centric p.o.v., or is there a reason it seems that Avon is the easiest to find 'avatars' of in other fiction, followed, probably, by Vila? I'm thinking it is just the brooding INTJ male appeals to writers. Snape from Harry Potter; Zelgadis from The Slayers; all the deliberate avatars created by fans in tribute; Mr. Darcy; and I can't remember how many others I've spotted. In contrast, Blake seems more difficult to find eqivalents of, possibly because he is less of a type? He's often compared to Robin Hood. Maybe King Arthur could be another avatar. Vila is an Artful Dodger, and can be found in lovable rogues throughout many stories. Dayna is of the Diana/Belephe female huntress type, which is avatared fairly infrequently these days.
Is there anyone good at spotting non-Avon avatars who'd like to weigh in on this?
