A reupload of a video I made in 2015 to honour the character of Beloved, also known as The Fool (among other names) in Robin Hobb's incredible fantasy series "The Realm of the Elderlings", including the Farseer Trilogy, Liveships Trilogy, Tawny Man Trilogy and Fitz & the Fool Trilogy. (I finished this video before the last two books in the series came out).
Song is Passacaglia by Secret Garden.
The person I chose for the face of the Fool is transgender model Andreja Pejic. Clips of her before and after transition were used to depict Beloved in their different identities as The Fool, Lord Golden and Amber. I do not believe that the Fool has a fixed gender, I believe they are gender fluid. I hope if a show is ever made of Realm of the Elderlings that they cast a nonbinary or trans actor in the role.
