Felton's minx[edit]
Appears in: Dragonheart
In the film, Lord Felton's minx (Eva Vejmelková) is a silent and nameless background character that stands by his side as Felton pays Bowen 'kill' Draco when the latter 'attacks' his property. The novelization reveals the minx is a peasant woman who is the latest in a long line of Felton's "playmates", peasant women Felton would offer a 'respite' from working his fields by giving them a taste of finer living. However, unlike the others who were reluctant and resisted his advances, the minx is compliant. Felton is unable to remember her name except that it begins with 'Ro', with several guesses of her name being "Rowena, Rosamund, and Ronalda". The two rarely speak to each other and Felton uses pet names to refer to her. When Draco 'attacks', the minx's brief flirtation with Bowen compels the reluctant Felton to pay Bowen double his fee for his services with a bag of money given to the minx for safekeeping, only for Draco to apparently eat Bowen and fly off to their chagrin. During the battle in the woods, Felton is confronted by his minx, now a member of Bowen's rebel army, dressed in clothes she stole from Felton. With help from a well-aimed arrow from Gilbert, the minx strikes Felton down and makes off with his money purse and jeweled cuff before he blacks out.[1]
