Character meme

Haven't done an interactive fandomy meme in awhile, and this one looks interesting. Ganked from [livejournal.com profile] hinikuish and [livejournal.com profile] lucil_luzzu. (Note! There are now spoilers for Fruits Basket #17 in comments.)

Choose a character from a fandom that I know--video game, movie, book, tv show, etc.--and I'll answer the questions below.

1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.
2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?
4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance-wise or platonic)
6) Is there anything about the character you would change? (Personality wise, not anything pertaining to the plot.)
7) If you were in the fandom with this character, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)
8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or most hated?
9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone who's new to the fandom?
10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?

Kamui/Yuzuriha is certainly adorable in many ways, it just is never done in fandom. Which saddens me on several levels.

Personally I've never really seen the appeal of F/K, but it's the 2nd most popular pairing after S/K, so I keep it quiet lest I be smote. >__> I want Kamui to be emotionally well adjusted! Keiichi and Yuzu are much better for him. |D

It's all the levels to K/F, I think. They were friends, then rivals, now bitter enemies, and yet Kamui at least still has feeling for him. Since I don't have any emotional investment in K's personal happiness, I find the ship interesting, at least in theory

Now, if Kamui were a real person, I'd tell him to stay far, far away, go find a nice girl like Yuzu, or a nice boy like Keiichi if he prefers. ;)

F/K is certainly a very interesting pairing, it's just kinda creepywrong at the same time -- Fuuma killed Kotori. Fuuma removed Subaru's eye. Fuuma did several absolutely traumatizing things to Kamui including attempting to crucify him with glass. For Kamui to then turn around and live with him happily ever after--even changed!Fuuma--that's kinda creepy to me.

Anyway, this is X, so Kamui clearly prefers guys. XD Keiichi it is. (Lately we've been joking around that he should end up with Arashi, because Kamui and Arashi are exactly alike in all the wrong ways, and would bitch at one another merrily for years.)

Clearly. Kotori, who's that? :P

Anyway, I totally see what you mean about the creepiness of K/F as a fluffy bunny pairing. I'd be all shocked and horrified that people write them that way, but since this is fandom I know better than to be surprised. ;) It's the whole difficulty of it, whether or not Fuuma is redeemed, that I would find interesting. But then again, my track record of liking pairings that would have difficulty with an easily-found happily ever after is well known. ;)

Kotori is completely disregarded, which kinda makes me sad. I mean, yes, she's dead so obviously Kamui won't end up with her, but he did canonically love her a lot. :/

But anyway. I don't mind pairings with problems to overcome - I still maintain that even with Sorata living past the end, Sorata/Arashi has a lot to get past before they can have anything close to happy and fluffy. It's just that I also think there is a limit. XD

Kamui and Fuuma could work things out, but there would be a ton of weirdness between them even so; since I adore Kamui so much, I want him to be happy without any weirdness. >D
