Half-remembered

[rowyn]

On the very fringes of my memory -- I'm not sure what even brought this up -- is a villain from some children's cartoon. He had long white hair, I think, and strange-colored skin, grey, maybe, or blue. He had sharp features, like an elf. I always wanted him to turn out to be a good guy after all, because I thought he was cute and I wanted all the cute guys to be good. He never did. As I recall, he was quite vile, in fact. Maybe he was supposed to be in love with one of the female protagonists, in that dysfunctional I'll-kidnap-you-and-make-you-mine way that children's cartoons do with their villains? I can't really remember. I think he might've been a prince. Prince L-something.

Does anyone else remember who I'm thinking of?

Addendum: caffeinewabbit remembered the show -- Voltron. The version with the five lion-bots. The character I was thinking of is Lotor, Prince of Doom. And lest anyone take this as a recommendation of the series or a contention that the shows were good, I will note that even as a small child I thought this show lacked coherenece and character development. I thought Lotor was cute, but he was, alas, horridly unpleasant as a person. :)

Not a clue, though when you mentioned this, I got a major case of Deja Vu. Had a dream last night of some grey-skinned, white-haired pointy-eared girl with strange markings on her skin (as I write this, I'm suddenly realizing a connection to depictions of certain fictitious goddesses on Sinai), who was captured by a group of adventurers. I supposed that she was supposed to be a "Dark Elf," even though she wasn't the pitch black that's customary for Drow in the D&D universe. One of the adventurers - a fighter-slash-carrier-of-heavy-things - was persuaded that she meant no harm, whereas the others insisted that her Alignment was Evil, and that therefore she must be destroyed.

It's been bugging me all day for some reason; feeling like it needs to be fleshed out into a short story or something. I've been wanting to do a picture or two, but I've been distracted by other things.

No connection at all to your mystery grey elf, I'm sure, but I thought it coincidence enough to mention. =)
