Slender Youth. A tour companion who may be either a lost prince or a girlprincess in disguise. In the latter case it is tactful to pretend you think she is a boy. Shehe will be ignorant, hasty and shy, and will need hauling out of trouble quite a lot. But shehe will grow up in the course of the Tour. In fact shehe will be the only Companion who will change in any way. Quite often, shehe will soon exhibit a very useful talent for magic and end up by hauling everyone else out of trouble. But this will not be until midway through your second brochure.

I don't pretend to be a digital savant or even a digital apprentice.
I'm never critical or judgmental about whether or not a movie is any good. The way I look at it, if several hundred people got together every day for a year or so - a number of then willing to put on heavy makeup, wear clothes that weren't their own and pretend to be people other than themselves - and their whole purpose for doing all this was to entertain me, then I'm not gonna start worrying about whether or not they did a good job. The effort alone was enough to make me happy.
You can pretend to be serious; you can't pretend to be witty.
