❝My name is Susan Pevensie. Personally, I like my name; it's short but elegant. In my opinion, I'm glad I was named Susan because personally, I don't want a crazy name like Unique or Freedom because I feel that they try to hard. However, I don't want a short, simple-minded name either like Ann or Jannet. So, Susan really fits me.❞

❝...Really? Well, from time to time my siblings like to call me 'Su.'. However, sometimes I really don't understand why. My name is already short, and it's not hard to pronounce, therefore I don't see why they fell the need to shorten it even more. Oh well, I don't really let it bother me.❞

❝I'm a female. Not to sound rude, but I thought it was rather obvious.❞

❝I'm 16 years old. Which, in my opinion, isn't that old at all. I should be saying 16 years young.❞

❝Ha, now that is a rather interesting story. Well, during our stay at the Professor's, we had decided to play a game outside. But when Peter threw the ball, Edmund had hit it through the window and knocked down an amrour suit. We heard footsteps coming our way and, thinking it was the Mcredey, had ran into the wardrobe. Next thing I knew, we were standing in Narnia. ❞

❝While I think that there are many incredible weapons out there, my weapon of choice would be my trusted bow and arrow. I also have a horn, which I can use to call for help.❞

❝Unfortunately, no. No one has yet to spark my interest.❞

❝I've yet to find someone I can spend my life with. But trust me, when I find them, I will know.❞

❝Are you serious? I'm only 16, I shouldn't be worrying about that yet!❞

❝Susan the beautiful. Susan is the well liked, older sister of the Pevensie family. She is extremely smart, kind, and motherly. She helps tutor younger students at her school and can usually be found in the library studying or with her many friends. She loves her siblings and always makes sure they are feeling okay and are keeping up with school. Despite her seemingly introverted personality, she has earned the interest of many boys, but they aren’t the most important thing on her list of things to worry about. Her siblings well being and school work take that place, but she still enjoys having a little bit of fun once in a while. She is very faithful and passionate about everything she does and cares about. She can also be bossy towards her friends and family, but it is simply because she tends to know what is best for the situation and knows that her way is probably better.

❝As the oldest girl among the four children in Narnia, Susan often takes on a motherly role. For example, it is Susan who makes the practical suggestion that the children put on the fur coats from the wardrobe to keep them warm in the snowy landscape. Sometimes Susan's mothering is annoying to the others. On their first night in the Professor's house, Susan tries to tell Edmund that it is his bedtime, and Edmund immediately says she is "Trying to talk like Mother […] who are you to say when I'm to go to bed? Go to bed yourself." Although Edmund is being pretty darn rude, there's an important truth behind his criticism.

In her hurry to grow up and act like a grown-up, Susan forgets that she herself is also a child. Before she experiences Narnia for herself, Susan is ready to believe that Lucy might be losing her mind and, when the Professor suggests that other worlds could really exist, she's confused because "She had never dreamed that a grown-up would talk like the Professor and didn't know what to think." Susan clearly equates "growing up" with being practical, literal, and maybe even a little unimaginative. She's in such a hurry to become an adult that she hasn't stopped to think about the more amazing possibilities that the world holds.

In many situations, Susan shows that she is the least courageous of the four children. When she finally does make it into Narnia and discovers – along with Peter, Edmund, and Lucy – that Mr. Tumnus has been arrested, she says, "I wonder if there's any point in going on […] I mean, it doesn't seem particularly safe here and it looks as if it won't be much fun either. And it's getting colder every minute, and we've brought nothing to eat. What about just going home?" We're pretty torn about what to think about Susan's attitude. When we're reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe at home, curled up in a chair with a cup of hot chocolate, it's easy to think that Susan is totally lame and unadventurous. But if we were really in Narnia, standing in the snow with no food, and we had just found out that the only friend we had there had been arrested by an evil Witch…heck, we might want to go home, too.

Besides, Susan's lack of courage doesn't prevent her from sticking to her values. After a discussion with Peter, Susan, and Edmund about what they should do, she admits, "I don't want to go a step further and I wish we'd never come. But I think we must try to do something for Mr. Whatever-his-name is – I mean the Faun." We also notice that Susan isn't afraid of Narnia in particular – she is afraid of the unknown in general. At the end of the book, after she has reigned as Queen Susan the Gentle for many years, Susan, along with the other children, is led by the White Stag to the lamp-post in the woods. The other three want to see what lies beyond it, but Susan doesn't: "by my council," she says, "we shall lightly return to our horses and follow this White Stag no further." So, no matter what world Susan is in, she is nervous about crossing its boundaries.

Of course, Susan does have virtues, and she does develop a special connection with Aslan, much in the same way that her sister Lucy does. Susan notices Aslan's depression on the night they leave the Stone Table, and with Lucy she follows him as he trudges sadly toward the place of his sacrifice. Like Lucy, she comforts him on the night of his death, burying her hands in his mane, and, like Lucy, she witnesses his murder and mourns for him all night. Susan romps with Aslan after his resurrection and helps him free the statues at the Witch's house. When the children become Kings and Queens of Narnia, Susan becomes Queen Susan the Gentle, "a tall and gracious woman with black hair that fell almost to her feet and the Kings of the countries beyond the sea began to send ambassadors asking for her hand in marriage."

Susan's virtues, however, are more passive than Peter's, Edmund's, or Lucy's. While Peter is a great warrior, Edmund is a wise judge, and Lucy is brave and cheerful, Susan is simply gentle and pretty. Those are good things to be, but she doesn't seem to be very actively good – doesn't seem to take action herself, but to be good and practical in the background. One of her gifts from Father Christmas hammers this passivity home: she receives a magic hunting horn which, when sounded, will call help to her no matter where she is. Wouldn't it be just a little bit cooler if she got a magic sword and could help herself? Of course, she does get a magic bow and arrows – and, if you keep reading the Narnia books, you'll find out that she becomes a pretty great shot.❞

No, nothing of real interest. However, if I were to have a theme song, I think it's be this:
