"Fairest" by Gail Carson Levine [1] Quiz

Answer: Aza

Aza believes herself to be ugly. She was abandoned as a one-month-old baby and was adopted by the inkeeper and his wife. Areida is her younger sister, Imilli is the family cat, and she also has two older brothers.

Answer: Zham'm

Zham'm makes his home in Gnome Caverns, and his title is widye'h because he is the gnomes' leader and judge. Azac'h is gnomic for Aza, who is a human maiden. Uju is the one who takes Aza to Gnome Caverns when she is running for her life, fulfilling the first of Zham's prophecies about her.

Answer: Ayortha

Ayortha is the kingdom where all the citizens sing, while Amonta and Olixo are villages in Ayortha. Kyrria is the name of a neighboring kingdom.

Answer: Oscaro

King Oscaro marries Ivi, a commoner from Kyrria. King Odino is mentoned only once, in Aza's description surrounding the founding of Ayortha. Ijori is Oscaro's nephew, who gets married in the end, and Sir Uellu is the choirmaster.

Answer: Isoli

Actually, Aza only thinks she bumped into Isoli, but the truth is that it was the other way around. This is in the palace kitchenm and the encounter results in a pile of broken dishes. Frying Pan is the cook who yells at everyone, Dame Ethelle is the duchess's friend, and Lady Arona is the woman everyone expects the king to marry.

Answer: Lady Arona

Lady Arona notices her in the crowd and figures she'd make a good partner for the Prince, who isn't very good at the game. The Queen doesn't put in an appearance in this chapter, and the Count is the one who hands out the composition books.

Answer: Yes

At first, Aza is really nervous because her voice comes out as a squeak. Then she is confused for two reasons: (1) she wants to impress the Prince, and (2)she is upset about lying to him (everyone assumes she's a Lady, but she's really a Commoner like the Queen was before Oscaro chose her). Because of this, Aza runs away at the first opportunity.

Answer: An iron ring hits Oscaro in the head

The stallion does slip, but he soon recovers his balance. However, the iron ring he was throwing ends up flying far from its intended target and nearly hits the queen (at least, the king thinks it'll hit her). As a result of his instinctive rush to save her from danger, the ring hits him in the head and he falls to the ground unconscious.

Answer: True

Illusing is the name that Aza gives to her unique form of singing in which she makes other objects or people sing. Ivi hears her doing it after the composing game and demands that Aza use this ability to give her "the kind of voice people here love, a beautiful Ayorthian voice." At first Aza refuses, since this would be just another lie.

After Ivi's threats of imprisonment for both her and her family, however, Aza gives in.

Answer: Skulni

Skulni is the only character from this list in the book. Voldemort's in the "Harry Potter" series, Gollum's from "Lord of the Rings" and Underlord Crow's from 'The Magic Thief.'
