hmm...no pm.. but that makes it my turn!
Kahlan is a beautiful woman with green eyes (although they are blue in the TV series); long, brown hair; and typically wears a white dress when acting as the Mother Confessor. Her brown hair brushes her lower back, the length of which is a symbol of her authority and position as the Mother Confessor. (although apparently this was the best actress they could come up with..i think they could have done better)
Since I took Richard, and I need to round out my island, I’m taking the heroine of the series as well.
KAHLAN AMNELL
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahlan_Amnell
Kahlan is a creature of magic known as a Confessor.
A Confessor has the ability to 'touch' a person with her power. Once 'touched', that person is no longer who they used to be, but now eternally devoted to the Confessor. The purpose of which is to take the voluntary confession of those who have been sentenced to death, so that all may know their innocence. As does every Confessor, she needs time to regain enough strength to use her ability again. However unlike most Confessors, she only needs a couple of hours to do so. The leader of the Confessors is Kahlan Amnell, the Mother Confessor, however, there are few Confessors left. Kahlan is not only in charge of the Confessors, but also of the Midlands as well. Kahlan speaks every major language in the Midlands and most of the minor ones.
She is strong and quick, rarely does anyone need to slow on her account while traveling. She also has a gift for knowing and reading people and realizing why they do what they do even if the person himself does not know why. She is courageous and determined, full of intelligence and wit.
Due to the way the power of Confessors works, people touched by Kahlan are able to perform far beyond their normal strength or human limits; they may even fall dead instantly at her request. While this would not be so for a weaker Confessor, even the slightest application of any Confessor's power permanently obliterates the free will of a victim and replaces it with love and subservience. A Confessor's power latches onto the love inside the person and expands it until it entirely consumes their being. Richard is immune to the touch of Kahlan due to his seamless love for her. Kahlan is also able to invoke an ability called the Con Dar.
The Con Dar enhances a Confessor's power by decreasing recovery time to zero and also gaining ranged use of their ability, as opposed to 'touching' a person. However, the Con Dar may only be invoked by a Confessor to protect the one she loves most. Normally this ability is taught from the mother to the daugher, but Kahlan's mother never had a chance to pass this knowledge down due to her death early in Kahlan's life. However, when she believed that her love Richard had been murdered, she invoked the Con Dar, literally meaning "blood rage," intuitively. This is likely due to her innate strength with her power and her incredibly strong will.
Throughout the series she also invokes a weaker, temporary version of the Con Dar that allows her to hurl blue lighting bolts in defense of Richard.
