If your Character had their own cinematic or regular trailer, what would it be? What would be in it? How would the feel of it be? What music/song would you add to it? And of course describe how the trailer would be for any of your characters in fanfiction and short stories. Post Away!

And yet I am, and live—like vapours tossed.
I long for scenes where man hath never trod
A place where woman never smiled or wept
There to abide with my Creator, God,
And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept,
Untroubling and untroubled where I lie
The grass below—above the vaulted sky.”

Quick prcis:

Music: Vex Red - "Cause and Solution"

Screen starts black, camera pans to reveal a black eye; black in black, and part of a face.
00' 08" - music ups a gear and the camera cuts to a silhouetted figure leaping from a rock with a warhammer poised over its head, below it seethes an angry sea of assorted foes, human and creature alike.

Following the ebb and flow of the music there would be scenes of Eilidh fighting, interspersed with scenes of dialogue, landscapes, sex, creatures and people; the camera constantly moving with the track.
It would be fast moving barring a couple of slower sections. About 03' 02" as the music climaxes it would switch back to Eilidh still shadowed completing her leap and disappearing into the melee below. Fighting would ensue, fast and frenetic.

Post climax, as the track tailed off, we would see her from behind heading into the sunrise walking away from the camera. She would be cloaked, with bow, quiver, and hammer on her back.

Through all of it, you would never see all of her, just shadows and highlights: part of a face, breasts and belly in flickering candlelight, muscles flexing with a bow, tattoos - that kind of thing.
Full body shots would be in either flickering semi-shadow or full silhouette, or from behind as at the close.

Stylistically I am thinking anime, but channelling Frank Frazetta, Yusuke Nakano, and Ralph Bakshi.

That's a very rough summary, I'm still working on the details...

[edit]: I suspect the "Love" trailer - (there is one!) - would have "Tonight, Tonight" by The Smashing Pumpkins as it's theme.
