stylistic problems
Odd question, I know, but when writing about The Gentleman in my paper, should I refer to him as The Gentleman with the Thistle-Down Hair...or the gentleman with the thistle-down hair...or The Gentleman with the thistle-down hair...or The Gentleman...or the Gentleman...yada...yada...yada? Any suggestions? She normally keeps it all lowercase in the book, but for my paper I feel like it is hard to tell I'm actually talking about a character.

I would say to use...
The Gentleman with the thistle-down hair
The capital G makes it more proper but the rest goes along with how it is in the book.
I'm introducing him as "The Gentleman with thistle-down hair" and subbing "The Gentleman" for every proper reference after that.
Good luck.
