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?

Auron is my favorite FFX character. Paine is my favorite X-2 character. If you put them head to head.... I really don't know who I would choose

Ah ha. I thought you were one of the FFX/X2-as-one-fandom/canon folks.

I could get on my soapbox now about how people devalue platonic relationships, especially in fandom, but I won't. ;)

I agree with you but I think you *should* get on your soapbox about it. Someday, anyway. You state things well and who knows, maybe it would inspire a spike of good gen friendship fics, at least in this small corner of fandom. We needs more of it, I think.

Oops.

The comment above was me if that wasn't obvious! :)

I do think of FFX and X-2 as a single canon, just as I would two books or movies of which one was the sequel to the other. But since my two favorite characters each only appear in one game, they each get to be my favorite for their own game. And now I think I've just nitpicked myself into a corner, so I'll stop now. ;)

I will consider that soapbox. The question is how to express the opinion without pissing off everyone in fandom....

Phh.

If anyone can do that, it's you.
