Jane, and Barney - though never explicitly Simon -

Yeah, that, and why is that? Barney, the youngest, the artist, seer. Jane, the -- uh. The girl. I'm being glib, her access to power is not really through her gender, except how it sort of is. Then Simon. The practical one. The one most outside what happens to them. And the oldest, most likely to be playing stupid dick-measuring games with Bran and/or Will while everyone else is all, "....What are you doing, weirdo?" Is he most outside because he's oldest? I wouldn't have thought so -- this series is not interested in any of the usual myths of youth. It's not Narnia, for crissake. And yet. Simon. What's he for?
