Yes, there is Hermey in 'Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer'. Although Hermey is a male elf, he is quite well - known. But in some modern, more inclusive Christmas stories, there are girl elves who are starting to become famous too. For instance, in some new children's books, there are girl elves who are the best at baking cookies for Santa, and they are named and remembered by kids who read those stories.
In some self - published or indie Christmas stories, there are girl elves that are becoming popular. For example, there is a girl elf named Glimmer who has the power to make the Northern Lights dance in a special way on Christmas Eve. Her story is spreading mainly through word - of - mouth and online sharing, and she is slowly becoming a well - known figure in the growing collection of Christmas story characters.
I'm not aware of any widely known 'Dark Elves Prince Radiata' stories specifically. It could be that it's a more niche or local fantasy concept.
Mostly, yes. In Christmas stories, elves are typically good. They are Santa's helpers, after all. But sometimes, they can be a bit naughty in a harmless, fun - loving way, like playing small pranks on each other in the workshop while still getting their work done.
There could be a story where a magical car is found in an old barn on Christmas day. The car has the ability to fly and takes the main character on a journey to the North Pole to meet Santa. This kind of car would be very famous in the context of that particular Christmas story as it is the key to the adventure and the discovery of the magic of Christmas.
I'm not sure if there are truly 'famous' ones in the pure sense of the term for'sick on Christmas' stories. But you could consider some adaptations of classic tales where the Christmas element is twisted. For instance, if you think of a version of 'The Nutcracker' where the Nutcracker has some dark and disturbing backstory that involves illness or some unseemly behavior during Christmas time, that could be a sort of'sick on Christmas' story, although it's not a traditional way of looking at it.
Yes, Tiny Tim from 'A Christmas Carol' is quite famous. He is a disabled boy in Dickens' story. His character represents the hope and kindness that should be part of the Christmas spirit.
Yes, there is 'A Christmas Carol' which in a way can be considered a 'black' Christmas story. Scrooge is a bitter old man who despises Christmas. He is visited by ghosts who show him his past, present, and future. It has elements of darkness like his loneliness and the potential future of death and no one caring if he's gone. But in the end, it has a redemptive aspect.
One of the most famous elves is Legolas from 'The Lord of the Rings'. He is an excellent archer and a brave warrior, fighting alongside the Fellowship. Another is Arwen, also from 'The Lord of the Rings'. She is beautiful and plays an important role in the story. Then there is Dobby from the 'Harry Potter' series. He is a kind - hearted house - elf who helps Harry Potter on many occasions.
Yes, it is. 'The Elves and the Shoemaker' is often considered a classic Christmas story with its themes of kindness and magic during the holiday season.
One of the well - known 'girl in a basement' stories is the case of Jaycee Dugard. She was kidnapped at a young age and held in a hidden area that included a tent - like structure in a backyard which could be considered a form of 'basement' in a sense. Her story is both tragic and inspiring as she managed to survive years of captivity and has since been working on rebuilding her life. This case also brought to light many issues regarding law enforcement and how to better protect children.
Yes, there are some. For example, 'Black Beauty' has elements where the main character has interactions with pony - like horses. It shows the relationship between humans and these beautiful animals.
