oh, *dust.* it makes me irrationally happy.

Scale of one to ten: In Dust, who do you think is most cynical? (Yes, I am aware that those two ratings have nothing to do with each other. But go along with me here.)

Peter
Susan
Edmund
Lucy
Tirian
Eustace
Jill
[insert OC of your choice here]

Also, in other news, I am crossing my fingers and hoping that I do not actually have to do medical research for writing Lucy; my knowledge from reading lots and lots of Diana Gabaldon (for reference: I have been reading Gabaldon since the fifth grade, and I am a college freshman now) will be enough.

The cynicism question comes from this line by Lucy (to Jill): “Not that I’m hoping to crush your dreams of connubial bliss with King Tirian, if that’s what you’re thinking of, but I rather doubt that’s what Aslan has planned for you.”

I'm not sure what you want for cynical, but I'd say that Tirian is the one with the least hope. He no longer even takes action, or believes that action can achieve anything, although he will follow orders. I'm not sure if Jill or Eustace are looking much beyond the moment, but he has and believes that they can't do anything to change the path.

Susan or Lucy. It seems to be Edmund's default setting.

For some reason.... Jill.

Don't ask me why, but that was what first came to mind.

Interestingly, I'm working on Dust 6 right now, and Jill just confessed to Lucy that the one thing she really wants to do is go back to England. Narnia's nice and all that, but it's not home.
